CAPILLARY MEDICINE – PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENT
At Instituto Médico del Prado, we consider oral medication a fundamental part of any successful hair treatment, always knowing the patient’s type of alopecia. Whether you opt for PRP hair treatment, mesotherapy, or a hair transplant, we always recommend accompanying these procedures with medications like Finasteride, Dutasteride, and Minoxidil to slow androgenetic alopecia and maintain existing hair.
Although transplanted hair will not fall out in the future, alopecia can continue to progress in untreated areas. The diagnostic consultation we conduct at our clinic is essential for determining the best pharmacological treatment for each case. We also typically request a comprehensive blood test that includes hormonal values to ensure proper and effective treatment.
These three medications have different mechanisms of action, but share a common goal: to help slow hair loss and improve hair density. Finasteride and Dutasteride are powerful antiandrogens that block the action of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), one of the main causes of androgenetic alopecia. Minoxidil, on the other hand, is a vasodilator that promotes blood circulation and stimulates hair growth.
