What is Hair Loss Medication?
Hair loss is often progressive, but it can be medically managed.
Prescription and topical medications are designed to slow thinning, protect existing follicles, and stimulate healthier hair growth. When started early and used consistently, medical therapy can significantly change the long-term trajectory of hair loss.
At Advanced Hair & Skin Surgery, medication is rarely used in isolation.
Dr. Elliott believes in combination therapy, where multiple evidence based treatments work together to deliver stronger, more reliable results. Each therapy supports hair growth differently, and when layered strategically, outcomes are often greater than any single treatment alone.
This approach helps preserve density, extend follicle lifespan, and support healthier regrowth over time.
Treatment & Technology
Hair loss medication works by targeting biological processes that contribute to follicle miniaturization and shedding.
Prescription Therapy
Oral medication may be considered for appropriate candidates as part of a comprehensive hair restoration plan. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles. Lowering DHT levels helps slow or stop ongoing hair loss and supports regrowth in many patients.
Topical Therapy
Topical therapies may be recommended as part of an individualized hair restoration plan. When appropriate, they can be combined with other treatment options to support overall hair restoration goals.
Combination Therapy
Using treatments together enhances results. Medication is often paired with PRP therapy or Low-Level Laser Therapy (LaserCap®) to further stimulate follicles and improve scalp health.
Treatment plans are personalized based on hair loss stage, medical history, and long-term goals.
Treated Areas
Hair loss medications may be used to treat:
Treatment plans are tailored to your specific medical profile.
What to expect
Your consultation includes a thorough assessment of your hair loss and medical history. Dr. Elliott will discuss the mechanisms, benefits, and any potential side effects of the medications to ensure they are a safe and effective option for you.
Treatment is simple and non-invasive. Oral medication is taken daily, while topical treatments are applied to the scalp as directed. Laser therapy or PRP may be incorporated depending on your plan.
Consistency is essential for optimal results.
Results develop gradually. Some patients notice reduced shedding within the first few months, followed by visible thickening and improved density over time.
Ongoing use is required to maintain results. Follow up visits allow us to monitor progress and adjust your plan as needed.
