Hair restoration starts with a foundation of medical management to help you preserve your hair for as long as you can. Pearce Plastic Surgery in Austin, TX offers extensive hair restoration medication evaluations. We conduct thorough consultations to determine the underlying cause of hair loss and provide comprehensive discussions on suitable hair growth treatments. Dr. Paul Pearce also can examine your scalp directly to see what is happening at the follicle level to help guide your hair loss treatments in the best way possible. In cases where prescription medications are deemed beneficial, FDA-approved options like Finasteride and Minoxidil for both men and women are commonly recommended.
What are Hair Growth Medications?
Finasteride (Propecia®) for men or Minoxidil (Rogaine®) for men and women are two FDA-approved treatments that may be your ticket to a fuller, more vibrant head of hair. While proven safe and effective, it is essential to note that these hair growth products can stabilize hair loss and promote regrowth, but their success is limited to areas where hair is still present. Also, discontinuing Finasteride or Minoxidil during treatment will result in a regression to the previous level of hair loss within a few months. To learn which hair growth plan is most effective to treat your hair loss, schedule a consultation at Pearce Plastic Surgery today.
What Can I Expect From Medical Therapy?
You can expect favorable results within 6 – 9 months by carefully following the provided usage directions. The side effects can vary depending on your specific condition and the medication prescribed for you. However, Dr. Pearce customizes each prescription to ensure it is as effective as possible while minimizing the risk of side effects. Rest assured that both of these prescriptions have been proven effective in restoring hair growth for both women and men. We recommend follow-up appointments at Pearce Plastic Surgery to monitor your progress and make any necessary medication adjustments.
Medical Therapy FAQs
Can I use hair growth shampoos in conjunction with medical therapies?
Yes, you can use specialized hair growth shampoos along with FDA-approved treatments like Finasteride and Minoxidil. However, it's essential to consult with Dr. Paul Pearce to ensure that the products are compatible and won't interfere with the effectiveness of your prescribed medications. Shampoos that are designed to strengthen and thicken hair can often complement your medical hair restoration plan.
