Hair Loss Medicine for Men
Alloroots offers doctor-led plans for hair loss medicine for men, combining prescription drugs and clinical therapies. Under Dr. Alok Kumar Sahoo, patients receive an individual assessment and options such as male hair loss treatment, hair transplant, and regenerative care. Medicines like finasteride or minoxidil may be prescribed based on diagnosis, with consultations handled privately.
Proven hair loss medicines and treatments for men
Two medicines have consistent evidence for treating male-pattern hair loss. Your doctor may recommend one or both depending on hair loss pattern, health, and tolerance:
- Finasteride, taken orally on prescription, lowers DHT levels to slow hair loss and may encourage regrowth.
- Minoxidil, applied topically as solution or foam, stimulates follicles to support regrowth.
Ongoing use is needed to maintain benefits, and results vary. Periodic follow-up helps adjust dosage and combine medicines with other therapies when appropriate.
Regenerative therapies with medical oversight
Medicines can be paired with regenerative treatments to support scalp health and density. Options include:
- Growth Factor Hair Therapy (GFC), using concentrated growth factors to boost follicle activity.
- Microneedling for Hair Growth, increasing topical absorption and encouraging scalp repair.
- PRP, i-PRF, exosome therapy, SVF, and autologous cellular micrografts, offered after medical review.
Procedures are done in sterile clinical settings. Records are confidential. Booking is available by phone or online. Sessions usually take 30 to 60 minutes.
Hair transplant when medication is not enough
If medicines do not meet goals, a male hair transplant may be advised. Alloroots uses FUE techniques for natural hairline placement. Transplants are planned after stabilising hair loss with medication when possible, to protect donor hair quality and set realistic expectations. Recovery typically involves a few days of rest and careful scalp care.
