How Hair Loss Medication Can Help

Loss Prevention

Even if you have a pretty full head of hair, you might want to get ahead of the game if male pattern baldness runs in the family—treatment can take time to work best.

Thinning of the Crown

For some men, androgenic alopecia results in bald spots on the top of the head. It happens as the anagen, or growth phase, of follicles shortens over time.

Receding Hairline

Often a combo of family history and aging, seeing more forehead is common for guys. It’s also generally related to the anagen phase of follicles shortening as we get older.

Thinning All Over

If you’re seeing more of your scalp, balding all over, or styling is getting harder, a prescription can still help. It’s normal for hair follicles to close as men age, and the treatment we offer can help reactivate them.

Tabs

Finasteride Tabs

Best for Receding Hairlines

 

FInasteride is a 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor which works by decreasing the amount of the hormone DHT (Di-hydrotestosterone). Finasteride stops testosterone from converting into DHT, the androgen that shrinks hair follicles which leads to hair loss.

 

Available doses: 1 mg, 5 mg

Minoxidil / Finasteride Topical Foam

Best for Receding Hairlines & Bald Spots

 

Topical finasteride reduces DHT in the scalp (hormone that causes hair loss in men) and stops more hair from falling out. Topical minoxidil promotes hair growth by reactivating dormant follicles. New research suggests a topical solution can help regrow hair and prevent further hair loss with a lower risk of sexual side effects compared to oral medications.

Minoxidil / Finasteride / Ketoconazole / Latanoprost Scalp Solution

Best for Overall Thinning, Receding Hairlines and Bald Spots

 

Topical finasteride reduces DHT in the scalp (hormone that causes hair loss in men) and stops more hair from falling out. Topical minoxidil promotes hair growth by reactivating dormant follicles.

Ketoconazole, an anti-fungal medication, can also be effective in stimulating new hair growth. it is also helpful in countering the effects of DHT.

 

Latanoprost, a drug that mimics naturally-derived compound molecules called prostaglandins, significantly increases hair density on the scalp.

 

The formula, which is exclusively produced by Vitality RX®, provides maximum hair restoration when used regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Loss

Hair loss is typically a result of heredity, a medical condition or a hormonal change or imbalance. The most common cause of hair loss is hereditary hair loss, which typically occurs or worsens as you age. Hereditary hair loss in men is also called male pattern baldness or by its medical name, androgenetic alopecia. For men, the first sign of male pattern hair loss may be a receding hairline or bald spot. Hair loss can also be caused by several medical conditions, including alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and trichotillomania. Alopecia areata causes the body’s immune system to attack its own hair follicles. This type of hair loss may be temporary or may need treatment if hair does not grow back. Stress, severe illness or another traumatic event can cause a temporary hair loss condition called telogen effluvium. Typically, after the stress or shock is reduced, the hair will grow back. Trichotillomania is a mental health disorder characterized by compulsive hair-pulling. This condition will last until sufficient mental health treatment is received. Hair loss can be treated with medication, therapy, or a combination, but determining the cause of the hair loss is the first step. If you are experiencing new or worsening hair loss, see your doctor or book a consultation. Sources: American Academy of Dermatology National Center for Biotechnology Information

It may be easy to determine the cause of hair loss, or a doctor may need to run tests to determine the root cause.

 

For men who are experiencing a receding hairline or hair loss that worsens slowly with age, the condition may be a result of male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness is permanent hair loss type with no cure, but there are several treatments available to help slow hair loss and even regrow hair.

 

However, it is recommended that men who are suddenly balding with no apparent cause or pattern seek medical attention to determine the cause. These cases of sudden hair loss may be caused by a medical condition, such as alopecia areata, vitamin deficiency or the side effect of a medication. The good news is that these types of hair loss are typically temporary and resolve when the medical condition is treated.

While the best type of medical treatment depends on the cause of hair loss, male pattern hair loss can be treated with FDA-approved medications. Minoxidil, the generic of Rogaine®, is a topical treatment that is applied directly to the scalp. Minoxidil is best for new hair loss or to treat mild to moderate balding because it works by stimulating hair regrowth. For men who are experiencing thinning hair, minoxidil can help to restore some hair density. Another medication for hair loss is finasteride, an oral medication that treats hair loss by blocking the hormones that inhibit hair growth. Finasteride can help to prevent additional balding and can even stimulate hair regrowth.

 

However, men experiencing hair loss due to stress, a mental health disorder or a vitamin deficiency should treat the hair loss by treating the root cause. With any hair loss, consult a doctor or other qualified medical professional to determine the proper treatment.

As with any medication, there are potential side effects caused by finasteride. Some common side effects include new problems with your erection, ejaculation or sexual desire, pain in the testicles, rash, breast pain or enlargement and depression. If any of these side effects are severe, bother you, or don’t go away, consult a medical provider. If you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as trouble breathing or hives, seek emergency medical attention.

There isn’t a cure for hair loss, but there are effective medications and hair restoration treatments. While these medications or procedures may slow hair loss or even reverse balding, beware of any company claiming to “cure” your hair loss, as there is no complete cure for hair loss.
