Core Options We Consider
- Minoxidil (topical/foam): Prolongs the growth phase (anagen) and enlarges miniaturized follicles.
- Oral Minoxidil (micro-dosed): Select candidates only; requires medical oversight.
- Finasteride (men): Lowers DHT, a driver of male pattern hair loss; available oral or topical compound.
- Dutasteride (select cases): For men with more resistant loss; physician-guided.
- Spironolactone (women): For hormonally driven thinning; requires monitoring.
- Ketoconazole shampoos: Scalp health + potential anti-androgen synergy.
Compounded Formulas
Custom blends (e.g., minoxidil + finasteride + tretinoin) improve penetration and adherence.
Consistency & Combinations
Topicals/prescriptions do best as part of a plan that may include PRP, LLLT, and nutrition.
A targeted medical regimen prevents loss and amplifies any in-office treatment.
