About Medical Therapy
Medical therapy is a physician-supervised approach using proven medications and targeted supplements to support hair regrowth, skin health, and overall dermatologic wellness. For hair loss, this may include topical minoxidil to stimulate follicle activity, finasteride and dutasteride to block the hormone responsible for hair thinning, and science-backed supplements like Nutrafol and Augustinus Bader's Hair Revitalizing Complex. For skin, options include prescription retinoids and customized medication regimens tailored to your specific concerns. Think of medical therapy as the daily foundation that supports and extends the results of your in-office treatments. While procedures like PRP, microneedling, and laser therapies deliver powerful improvements, medical therapy provides the ongoing support that maintains those results and continues working between visits. It addresses hair loss, aging, and skin quality at the cellular level. This is a daily regimen rather than a single treatment, and we customize every protocol to your individual needs and health history. There's no downtime or recovery — it integrates seamlessly into your everyday routine. We monitor your progress and adjust your protocol as needed to ensure optimal results. Most patients begin noticing improvements within 3–6 months of consistent use. For hair loss, your medical protocol may combine several evidence-based options: Minoxidil (Rogaine) — Available as a topical solution or foam (2–5%) and as a low-dose oral tablet, minoxidil extends the active growth (anagen) phase and improves blood flow to the follicle, encouraging thicker, denser regrowth. It is FDA-approved for pattern hair loss in both men and women. Finasteride (Propecia) — An oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers scalp DHT — the hormone that drives follicular miniaturization — to slow shedding and support regrowth, particularly along the crown and hairline. Dutasteride (Avodart) — A more comprehensive DHT blocker that inhibits both type I and type II 5-alpha-reductase enzymes, reducing DHT more completely than finasteride. Used orally or in compounded mesotherapy to preserve and rebuild density. Augustinus Bader — The Hair Revitalizing Complex — A clean, science-backed daily supplement (three capsules) clinically shown to improve hair health and quality, support new growth, and combat thinning, shedding, and breakage. It enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the follicle and supports keratin and collagen synthesis, drawing on botanicals such as moringa leaf (keratin support), fenugreek and millet seed (scalp balance), inositol, and ashwagandha for hormone balance. Nutrafol — A physician-recommended nutraceutical that targets four root causes of thinning at once — hormones (DHT), stress (cortisol), inflammation, and oxidative stress. Its Synergen Complex and Nutrafol Blend combine standardized botanicals and adaptogens, including saw palmetto, ashwagandha (Sensoril), curcumin, tocotrienols, and marine collagen, to support visibly thicker, stronger hair. Xtressé™ Hair Growth Gummies — A restorative nutraceutical gummy built around a proprietary X3-BioActive Blend™ developed by dermatologists and hair-restoration experts. It combines NAD+ (to fuel follicle mitochondrial energy and counter the age-related decline that impairs growth) with saw palmetto (to lower DHT and limit follicle miniaturization), pumpkin seed extract (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory follicle protection), and taurine (follicle metabolism), alongside ashwagandha, turmeric, and horsetail extracts plus vitamins A, C, B6, D3, and E, niacin, folate, magnesium, and zinc. Sugar-free, biotin-free, and vegetarian, it targets the inflammation and oxidative stress that drive shedding to support a healthier scalp and stronger, denser growth.
