Medical Treatment For Hair Loss

1. Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar): A pill taken once daily that blocks the effects of testosterone on hair growth. Testosterone is a hormone found in higher concentrations in men. Finasteride is not currently used for the treatment of hair loss in women.
   
2. Minoxidil (Rogaine, Loniten): A medication you rub directly onto your scalp. This medication enlarges hairs and makes them grow for a longer period.

Hair loss treatments (Surgery)

Hair Transplant process

Hair transplant: A doctor takes plugs of hair from areas on your scalp where hair is thick and puts them on areas where your hair is thin.

These hair plugs can have a bothersome checkerboard appearance.

Follicular transplants, which move individual hairs from one place to another, are replacing hair plug transplants.

Hair loss medical treatments

Scalp rotation: A doctor moves a piece of your scalp that has good hair growth to an area of poor growth. The procedure is effective in children, but adults do not respond well to this type of treatment.
