💊 Evidence Based Therapies

Oral Minoxidil

Promotes regrowth and thickness

• Stimulates hair follicles, thickens shafts, and gradually reduces shedding

• Randomized trial data shows 1 mg oral minoxidil comparable to 5 percent topical minoxidil for female pattern hair loss

• Large multicenter study with 1404 participants showed over 90 percent clinical improvement, with fewer than 2 percent discontinuing due to side effects

• A temporary shedding phase is common during the first 1 to 3 months as follicles reset into a new growth cycle. Regrowth typically follows

  .

Finasteride

Slows progression of hair loss

• Inhibits DHT to reduce androgen driven thinning

• Clinical data shows approximately 90 percent of men maintain or increase hair count, with visible regrowth in about 65 percent at 1 to 2 years

• Off label use in select post menopausal women has also shown benefit

  
  

Hair Shedding During Weight Loss

Temporary hair shedding can occur during rapid weight loss, including with GLP 1 medications, due to metabolic and nutritional shifts that push hair follicles into a resting phase.

This type of shedding is typically telogen effluvium and is reversible. It usually begins 2 to 4 months after significant weight change and improves as the body stabilizes.

Our program focuses on:

• Identifying and correcting nutrient deficiencies

• Supporting follicles with evidence based medical therapy

• Adjusting treatment plans to preserve hair density during weight changes

Early evaluation and targeted support can significantly reduce shedding and support healthy regrowth.

🧪 Relevant Nutrient Markers

Targeted Lab Evaluation When Indicated

When clinically appropriate, lab testing may be ordered to identify underlying contributors to hair thinning or shedding. Orders are placed directly through our clinic with convenient specimen collection at a local Quest Diagnostics location.

Labs may include evaluation of iron stores ferritin, vitamin D, zinc, thyroid function, and other markers known to impact hair growth. Testing is individualized and not required for every patient.

Low ferritin and low vitamin D levels are frequently associated with diffuse or female pattern hair loss. Low zinc levels have mixed but suggestive evidence for contributing to increased shedding.

Lab fees are billed separately by the laboratory and may be submitted to insurance when applicable.

💬 Typical Progress

⚠️ Safety Summary

• Oral minoxidil is prescribed off label at low doses 2.5 to 5 mg with blood pressure and side effect monitoring. Serious adverse events are rare

• Finasteride may rarely cause sexual side effects or mood changes and can affect PSA interpretation. Use in women is off label

FAQ

What medications might be used?

Depending on your history and goals, options may include oral minoxidil, finasteride for men, spironolactone for appropriate female patients, and other supportive therapies.

Do I need labs?

Not everyone does. Labs may be helpful in evaluating contributors such as iron stores, thyroid function, and vitamin levels when clinically indicated.

How often are follow ups?

Most patients do a reevaluation about every 3 months at first, then space out once stable.

Can you treat women who might become pregnant?

This program is for women who are not pregnant and not trying to conceive, since some hair loss medications are not safe in pregnancy.
