Medical Therapies for Hair Loss in NYC

We recommend clinically proven medical therapies as a foundation for addressing hair loss. These therapies aim to slow the progression of hair loss and, in some cases, promote regrowth.

Prescription Medications

  • Finasteride (Propecia) or Dutasteride: These oral medications work by inhibiting dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles. By reducing DHT levels, they help preserve existing hair and, for some patients, stimulate regrowth.
  • Low-Dose Oral Minoxidil: A convenient oral formulation that supports hair growth by extending the hair’s active growth phase. It is effective for various hair loss conditions.
  • Customized Topical Solutions: Park Ave Derm offers a unique, tailored approach to topical treatments. Utilizing advanced formulations developed under expert guidance, these customized topicals synergistically enhance hair growth and thickness by targeting multiple aspects of hair loss.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Hair Loss in NYC

PRP therapy harnesses the body’s natural healing processes to promote hair regrowth and strengthen existing follicles. The process involves:

  • Extraction: A small sample of your blood is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors.
  • Injection: The PRP solution is injected into areas of thinning hair to stimulate follicular activity and improve density.

PRP therapy is non-surgical, minimally invasive, and requires no downtime. The experts at Park Ave Derm design a treatment plan specific to your needs, including the number of sessions required to achieve optimal results.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) in NYC

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive option for promoting hair growth and improving overall hair quality. Using red light to stimulate cellular activity, LLLT enhances follicle function and supports hair regrowth. Our team will recommend a schedule based on your hair loss severity and treatment goals, ensuring a regimen that fits seamlessly into your routine.

Lifestyle and Nutritional Support for Hair Loss

We believe in a holistic approach to hair restoration. Lifestyle changes and nutritional support can play a crucial role in improving hair health and maintaining results. Our dermatologists may recommend:

  • Stress Management: Chronic stress can contribute to hair loss. We provide guidance on effective techniques to reduce stress and promote overall wellness.
  • Nutritional Supplements: Ensuring a diet rich in vitamins and minerals is essential for optimal hair health. Supplements tailored to your needs may be suggested to support regrowth.

Hair Transplantation Referrals

For patients seeking a permanent solution to hair loss, we partner with top-rated specialists in hair transplantation. These procedures involve transferring healthy hair follicles from a donor area to areas of thinning.

Techniques include:

  • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Minimally invasive and offers natural-looking results with minimal scarring.
  • Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Ideal for addressing more extensive hair loss with long-lasting outcomes.

While Park Ave Derm does not perform surgical procedures on-site, our team will guide you to experienced surgeons to ensure the best possible care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Loss Treatments

Early signs of hair loss include thinning around the temples, a receding hairline, or noticeable hair shedding during combing or washing. Some individuals may also notice a widening part or decreased density at the crown.

While hair loss caused by genetics cannot always be fully prevented, early intervention with medical therapies, such as finasteride, low-dose minoxidil, or PRP, can slow progression and, in some cases, stimulate regrowth. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and minimizing stress can also help promote hair health.

Results depend on the treatment type and individual response:

  • Medications (Finasteride/Minoxidil): Noticeable improvements typically begin after 3 to 6 months of consistent use.
  • PRP Therapy: Most patients see results within 3 to 4 sessions scheduled monthly.
  • LLLT: Hair quality and density improvements often become apparent after several weeks of regular use.

Some treatments, such as medications and PRP therapy, require ongoing maintenance to sustain results. Hair transplantation, however, offers a more permanent solution by relocating healthy follicles to thinning areas. Maintenance therapies can support the longevity of any treatment.

A consultation at Park Ave Derm will determine the best approach based on your diagnosis. We offer effective treatments for most types of hair loss, including:

  • Androgenetic Alopecia (Genetic Hair Loss)
  • Telogen Effluvium (Stress-Induced Hair Shedding)
  • Alopecia Areata (Autoimmune-Related Patchy Hair Loss)
  • Traction Alopecia (Caused by Hairstyles That Pull on the Scalp)

At Park Ave Derm, our experts carefully assess your medical history to minimize any risks. Side effects are generally minimal and vary by treatment:

  • Finasteride/Dutasteride: Some individuals may experience decreased libido or other mild hormonal changes.
  • Low-Dose Minoxidil: Rarely, temporary shedding may occur as dormant hairs transition into the growth phase.
  • PRP Therapy: Mild swelling or sensitivity at injection sites is possible but resolves quickly.
  • LLLT: This non-invasive option is virtually risk-free.

Yes. A combination approach often yields the best results. For example, medications may be paired with PRP therapy or LLLT to enhance hair density and promote faster regrowth. Your dermatologist will recommend a tailored plan during your consultation.

Prescription medications like finasteride and low-dose minoxidil require approval from our dermatologists. Other treatments, such as PRP therapy or LLLT, do not require prescriptions but must be administered or supervised by a qualified professional to ensure effectiveness.

Our team provides personalized recommendations based on your needs. In addition to treatments, the following can support hair regrowth:

  • Reducing stress through activities like yoga or meditation
  • Maintaining a balanced diet rich in protein, biotin, and iron
  • Avoiding harsh hair products or heat styling that can damage follicles

If you have additional questions about hair loss treatments or need guidance on choosing the right solution, schedule your consultation with Park Ave Derm today. We look forward to helping you restore your hair and confidence.
