Early medical treatment for hair loss makes it easier to manage the condition. There are various FDA-approved medications available for men and women to treat pattern baldness and excessive hair loss. For example, Minoxidil (Rogaine) is one such topical solution that can stimulate hair growth. Finasteride (Propecia) oral pills also promise to slow hair loss and protect natural hair follicles. Other treatments are also available for exploration, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which promotes blood circulation throughout the scalp. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and laser caps or combs are used to stimulate hair growth on the affected areas of the scalp. Microneedling therapy is used in combination with Minoxidil to stimulate follicles and prevent hair loss in 20s or early stages of ageing.<\/p>\n
