Prescription Medication for Hair Loss
At JMISKO hair restoration | md we offer prescription options for hair loss treatments. Currently there are two FDA-approved products for hair loss treatment — Finasteride (Propecia) and Minoxidil. Interestingly enough, both were discovered to have the hair growth effect as side effects. Minoxidil was found to grow more hair in those people who took it as an antihypertensive vasodilator medication. Finasteride was found to halt hair loss and even reverse hair loss when it was taken to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. The best way to discuss your options with prescription medication, is to schedule a consult with Dr. Justin Misko.
At JMISKO hair restoration | md, we have a multitude of different options when it comes to hair loss prevention — including prescription options, PRP and topical hair loss options. We also offer hair restoration options for cases more severe — including Facial Hair Transplants, FUE, FUT/Strip and ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplant.
How it works:
Finasteridee inhibits expression of the enzyme, 5-alpha reductase, which regulates production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By lowering DHT levels in the scalp, it reduces DHT’s harmful effect on hair follicles. Finasteride decreases DHT concentrations in the serum and the scalp by up to 70%.
Uses:
Finasteride is not indicated for use in women with hair loss (female pattern hair loss). Finasteride is contraindicated in women when they are (or potentially) pregnant.
