💊 Evidence-Based Therapies

Oral Minoxidil: Promotes Regrowth and Thickness

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

• Randomized trial: 1 mg oral ≈ 5 % topical minoxidil for female pattern loss ¹

• Large multicenter study (n = 1,404): > 90 % clinical improvement, < 2 % discontinued for side effects ²

• A temporary shedding phase is common during the first 1–3 months as follicles synchronize into a new growth cycle; regrowth usually begins by months 3–4 ³

  
  

Finasteride: Stops Progression of Hair Loss

• Inhibits DHT to slow androgen-driven thinning.

• Clinical data: ≈ 90 % of men maintain or increase hair count and ≈ 65 % show visible regrowth at 1–2 years ⁴

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

  
  

🧪 Relevant Nutrient Markers

While routine labs aren’t required for every patient, optimizing ferritin, vitamin D, and zinc can support healthy hair growth.

• Low ferritin and vitamin D are frequently associated with diffuse or female-pattern hair loss ⁵ ⁶

• Low zinc has mixed but suggestive evidence for contributing to shedding ⁷

• Laboratory evaluation and correction may be coordinated with your primary provider if indicated.
