After ascertaining the type and severity of Alopecia, the dermatologist will recommend a customized treatment plan which may include one or more of these treatment solutions -
Topical medication -Minoxidil is a topical medication prescribed by the dermatologist to treat male pattern baldness. This helps in reversing hair loss by improving the blood flow to the hair bulbs which promotes hair growth.
Oral medication -Finasteride is FDA approved medication that can be taken orally to slow down the progression of Alopecia. It is important to keep taking this medication consistently to see visible results.
