Hair Loss Medications
Are you starting to notice signs of hair loss? Clumps of hair in your brush or a receding hairline can make you self-conscious about your appearance. Avance Hair Transplant offers a variety of non-surgical medical hair growth solutions for men and women in Reno, Nevada. Two of the most popular and effective options that have provided significant results for many individuals are Finasteride and Minoxidil. Here is everything you need to know about these hair growth medications to make an informed decision regarding your aesthetic goals.
Finasteride
Finasteride, also known as Propecia®, is one of the medical hair growth solutions designed specifically for men. The prescribed medication is designed to treat male pattern hair loss caused by genetics. It works by inhibiting hormone production that destroys hair follicles. Men take the medication once per day and visible results can be seen within four months to a year. You may experience hair loss if the medication is discontinued.
Minoxidil
Minoxidil is one of the most well-known medical hair growth solutions. Originally developed as Rogaine®, it is designed to treat androgenic alopecia in both men and women. When massaged into the scalp twice a day, it can promote new hair growth while slowing hair loss. The treatment can be used indefinitely, with results becoming most noticeable within four months to a year. The most common side effects include facial hair growth or scalp irritation and redness.
