1. Medical Diagnosis & Scalp Analysis

Before initiating treatment, our specialists conduct a thorough assessment, which includes:

• Trichoscopy (Scalp Examination): The non-invasive assessment procedure evaluates hair follicle wellness.

• Blood Tests: The evaluation process includes examinations to detect medical causes such as thyroid issues and mineral deficiencies and thyroid problems.

• Hair Pull Test: The test detects the measure of hair shedding while aiding medical diagnosis.

• Biopsy (In Rare Cases): A scalp biopsy will be conducted to eliminate alternative causes of hair loss when necessary.

2. FDA-Approved Medications for Hair Regrowth

• Minoxidil (Topical Solution): Minoxidil proves as one of the most recommended approaches for regenerating hair growth while promoting follicle activation.

• Finasteride (For Men): Through the hormone-blocking actions of this treatment one can curb hair shedding while reducing hair thinning.

• Spironolactone (For Women): Doctors use this prescription to treat the hair loss that stems from androgen action.

3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP therapy stands out by enabling the use of blood cells from the patient’s own body to activate new hair development.
