Medical Treatment
We use medical treatment as a supplement to surgical procedures. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the two well-known medicines for the treatment of common hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). Both these medicines act at different levels; while finasteride is androgen modulator, minoxidil is primarily a hair growth stimulator. For this reason, it is best to use them simultaneously when hair loss is progressive or severe. We also have other option in medical treatment category such as Anti hair loss serum, Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and Aroma massage shampoo..
Finasteride
Finasteride is the single most effective medication proven to treat genetic pattern hair loss. Finasteride works by acting as a potent and specific, competitive inhibition of 5 alpha-reductase, specifically the type II isoenzyme. By inhibiting type II, 5alpha-reductase it causes a decrease in serum dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels by about 65-70 percent. This reduces DHT induced perifollicular inflammation and partial reversal of scalp hair miniaturization as evidenced by histopathologic evaluation of scalp biopsies.
The clinical use of finasteride for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in men dosage is 1mg daily. The clinical studies at 1 year, showed 12 percent increase in hair count and 48 percent increase in hair growth for finasteride group. Those patients who stopped finasteride lost the hair gain.
The finasteride-related sexual dysfunction is the main side effects which can occur varying from 1.1 to 18.5%. These effects are generally reversible after stopping the medicine. The recent study in this year (2019) shows that the use of finasteride does not result in sexual dysfunction in men with AGA. This reflect recent research which suggests that men with alopecia may be inherently more susceptible to sexual dysfunction regardless of treatment.
Minoxidil
Minoxidil is an arteriolar dilator introduced in clinical practice in the 1970s for the treatment of hypertension. Minoxidil acts on three levels for hair growth effects.
1 Induces cell growth factors in dermal papilla cells, so that prolonging anagen phase and contributing to increased hair shaft diameter.
2 Inhibits of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-B) induced apoptosis of hair matrix cells, therefore prolonging that anagen phase.
3 Dilates hair follicle arterioles and increases blood flow in dermal papilla.
Primary indication of minoxidil is in male pattern baldness. Minoxidil seems to reduce the rate of hair follicle miniaturization, increase in thickness of hair and prolongation of anagen phase. All these effects combine to increase total hair mass and consequently coverage. Currently, 2-5 percent minoxidil as lotion used twice daily is considered first time treatment for male pattern hair loss but 56 percent solution is usually preferred over 2 percent solution.
Some side effect can happen after minoxidil usage such as hypertrichosis with hair in undesirable areas like over arms and face due to systemic absorption of the topical drug. After discontinuation of minoxidil,about 3 months the hairs usually disappear but may rarely require LASER depilation. Local skin reactions like pruritic and allergic contact dermatitis may also occur but our formula develop for less skin reactions to all types of scalp skin.
