Strengthen Your Hair With Targeted Medical Therapies

Hair loss can be frustrating, especially when over-the-counter products or home remedies make little difference. At StudioMD Midtown, our medical team offers clinically supported prescription options and supplements to help slow hair thinning, preserve existing density, and encourage healthier long-term growth. These treatments are often combined with in-office therapies such as PRFM, exosome therapy, and LED light therapy for enhanced results.

Cost: Varies depending on the treatment prescribed.

What Are Prescription Hair-Loss Treatments?

Prescription hair-loss therapies are FDA-approved or medically guided treatments designed to improve follicle function, protect existing hair, and slow the progression of androgenetic alopecia—one of the most common forms of thinning in both men and women. Depending on your needs, your practitioner may recommend oral medications, topical formulas, supportive supplements, or a combination of approaches to create the best outcome.

How Supplements Support Hair Growth

Nutritional supplements may be recommended if stress, inflammation, or micronutrient deficiencies are contributing to hair thinning. StudioMD Midtown frequently recommends formulas that include:

Saw palmetto for DHT balance
Biotin for keratin support
Zinc and selenium for follicle strength
Iron (when medically indicated)
Ashwagandha for stress regulation

These supplements help support internal wellness, which plays a vital role in long-term hair health.

How Medical Hair-Loss Prescriptions Work

Prescription therapies work by either stimulating follicles, blocking hormonal triggers of thinning, or improving scalp health. The most common and clinically supported options include:

Minoxidil (Topical Therapy)

Minoxidil increases follicle activity by improving blood flow and extending the growth phase of the hair cycle. Consistent daily application is required for optimal results.

Finasteride (Oral Therapy)

Finasteride reduces levels of DHT, the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in pattern hair loss. This medication is taken once daily and is approved for male patients.

Formula 82S Shampoo

This physician-dispensed formula combines shampoo, conditioner, and DHT-blocking technology. It supports hair strength while avoiding harsh ingredients that could damage fragile follicles.

Nutrafol Supplements

Nutrafol uses medical-grade botanicals, stress adaptogens, and DHT-balancing ingredients to support systemic wellness and promote healthier growth from within.

What to Expect During Your Evaluation

A Personalized Hair-Loss Assessment

Your visit begins with a detailed consultation to evaluate scalp condition, hair density, medical history, lifestyle factors, and treatment goals. Many types of hair loss overlap, so establishing an accurate diagnosis is essential.

Customized Medication Planning

Your provider will explain the benefits, limitations, and timelines of each medication, ensuring you understand what to expect.

Combination Therapy When Needed

Many patients benefit most from a combined approach—such as prescriptions paired with PRFM injections, LED therapy, or exosome therapy. Your practitioner will design the plan that best supports your long-term results.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Patients who benefit from prescription hair-loss therapy typically include:

Men with early or moderate male-pattern baldness
Women with female-pattern thinning or postpartum shedding
Individuals with diffuse shedding caused by stress or hormones
Anyone seeking a non-surgical approach before considering transplant
Patients looking to maintain results after an FUE/FUT procedure

During your appointment, our team will help determine whether prescriptions, supplements, or a combined approach fits your needs best.

Frequently Asked Questions Supplements & Prescriptions

Do prescription medications really work?

Yes. Finasteride and minoxidil remain the most clinically supported treatments for slowing or preventing androgenetic alopecia. They are FDA-approved, widely researched, and effective when used consistently as directed.

How long does it take to see results?

Most patients begin noticing improvements between 3–6 months, with maximum results around 12 months. Because hair grows in cycles, patience and consistency are essential.

Can women use finasteride?

Finasteride is generally not recommended for women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Minoxidil and Nutrafol Women are usually better options for female patients.

Are there side effects?

Minoxidil may cause mild scalp irritation or unwanted facial hair growth. Finasteride can cause rare sexual side effects in men, though most patients tolerate it well. All risks will be reviewed during your consultation.

Is Nutrafol safe for everyone?

Nutrafol is safe for most adults but is not recommended for individuals under 18 or pregnant women. Your provider will discuss whether it fits your needs and medications.

Is treatment expensive?

Prescription and supplement costs vary. Minoxidil is generally affordable, while finasteride and specialty formulas may be moderately priced. Your provider will review costs during the consultation.
