What Are Hair Loss Medications?

Quite often when individuals first begin to experience thinning hair and hair loss, they'll attempt minimally invasive, nonsurgical alternatives to restore their missing hair and prevent further balding. With recent innovations in the hair restoration industry, there's a wide range of these treatments available to Bedford, TX patients. One such treatment is hair loss medications, including topicals and pills. At Essential Dermatology Group, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Calvin Williams will determine the cause of your baldness and discuss your hair growth treatment options. The two most common prescription medications are Finasteride for men and Minoxidil for both women and men. Both treatments are approved by the FDA and have their own distinct purpose in treating baldness.
