Hair Loss Treatments

Evidence-based guides to every major treatment option — from FDA-approved medications to surgical procedures.

Medication

FDA-approved DHT blocker that stops hair loss in 85-90% of men. The gold standard oral medication for male pattern baldness.

FDA-approved topical treatment that stimulates hair growth. Available over-the-counter in 2% and 5% formulations.

Follicular Unit Extraction — individual follicles harvested from the donor area with minimal scarring. The most popular transplant method.

Follicular Unit Transplantation — a strip of scalp is removed for follicle harvesting. Higher graft yield per session but leaves a linear scar.

Direct Hair Implantation — follicles are placed directly using a Choi implanter pen for precise angle and depth control.

Platelet-Rich Plasma injections use your own blood growth factors to stimulate dormant follicles. Typically 3-4 sessions per year.

FDA-cleared devices use photobiomodulation to stimulate hair growth. At-home devices available from $200-$1,000.
