27 Oct What Current Evidence Shows About Non-Surgical Hair Restoration
Health Notice: Prescription hair loss medications, including finasteride and oral minoxidil, should only be prescribed and monitored by your healthcare provider. Finasteride must not be used by women who are or may become pregnant. Procedures such as microneedling and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) should be performed by trained, licensed professionals. Hair loss can have medical causes such as iron deficiency or thyroid disease, so have new or sudden shedding evaluated by a physician or board-certified dermatologist before starting treatment.

Hair thinning shows up for a lot of people in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. Some notice it first at the temples or crown. Others see more diffuse shedding after a stressful period or a change in health. When people start looking for answers, transplants get a lot of attention. Surgery can move hair from one area to another, but it does not stop the process that caused the loss in the first place. Many patients want to know what else is available before they consider that step, or in addition to it.
The options that exist today fall into a few categories. Some have decades of data, while others rest on new, smaller studies or laboratory findings. Sorting through them requires looking at what the research actually supports and what remains uncertain. It also means matching the approach to the individual cause of the thinning.
