The Role Of Medicines In Hair Restoration
In hair restoration, drugs are - at best - a risky, short term and often ineffective approach. Rogaine and Propecia are the only FDA approved drugs for hair loss. Rogaine was originally developed as a medication for high blood pressure, so its primary function is NOT the restoration of hair. That is a side effect of its main function.
While Rogaine can grow a small amount of baby hair within the crown area, it has no real effect whatsoever on frontal baldness. In addition, lifetime use of Rogaine is required. If discontinued, all new hair growth is lost. Plus, like every drug, it does have some side effects. If you age and require other medications for any reason you may have to discontinue Rogaine anyway. So, the results are truly temporary.
Propecia, originally developed to treat prostate enlargement, slows down the balding process while growing some hair. Propecia works best for those who are just beginning to lose their hair. If you are in the very preliminary stages of hair loss, and after we evaluate your situation, we may recommend and prescribe Propecia, but, and we must stress, ONLY if it is appropriate for your needs. Our surgical methods are vastly superior and longer lasting than drug intervention.
