    GlossaryHair Loss Treatment (treatment)

    involves medical and cosmetic methods to prevent or reverse alopecia

    Hair Loss Treatment refers to a variety of medical and cosmetic interventions aimed at preventing, slowing, or reversing hair loss, also known as alopecia. These treatments can include medications like minoxidil and finasteride, surgical procedures such as hair transplants, and non-invasive therapies like laser therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. The goal is to stimulate hair regrowth, improve hair density, and enhance the overall appearance of the scalp.

      Oral treatments for hair loss, like Dutasteride and Minoxidil, may be more effective than topical ones, though topical formulations can be similarly effective except for Minoxidil. Topical treatments can be a chore to apply and are often used as supplements to oral treatments.
