Finasteride & minoxidil consultation

Hair loss does not have one treatment. A clinician reviews whether the pattern fits inherited thinning, shedding or another cause before discussing finasteride, minoxidil or other appropriate options. Photos and a timeline help distinguish gradual changes from sudden hair loss. Existing prescriptions can be reviewed and continued through the same visit.

Before your visit

Bring clear scalp photos, when shedding started, previous treatments, and any recent illness, pregnancy or medication changes.

What happens next

Hair regrowth takes time and may require labs for reversible contributors. Discuss pregnancy plans and adverse effects before starting or continuing medication. Pharmacy and testing costs are separate from the consultation.
