Propecia & Rogaine

Propecia & Rogaine: Despite claims and advertisements, the only medications ever proven to regrow hair and approved by the FDA for the treatment of hair loss are Propecia & Rogaine.

Propecia & Rogaine are the only medicines demonstrated in scientific studies to have a beneficial effect on hair loss.

Rogaine (Minoxidil) was the first FDA-approved treatment for growing hair in both men and women. This popular, topical solution must be applied directly to the balding areas.

Rogaine is available without a prescription. Currently Minoxidil 5% is recommended for men while 2% is recommended for women.

Although it is used to combat hair loss in its early stages, Rogaine is also recommended by John Porcaro, MD after hair restoration to enhance initial, new hair growth. Usage of both Rogaine and Propecia can help optimize the result of a hair transplant.

Propecia is the only FDA-approved pill that is used in treatment of male pattern hair loss.

Available by prescription only, it is specifically designed for men; Propecia is not recommended for use by women.

When appropriate, Dr. Porcaro will prescribe Propecia in an effort to stop further hair loss

Propecia is perfectly partnered with hair restoration because it successfully slows future hair loss.

While taking Propecia, hair loss will be stabilized, giving you control over your own hair restoration plan. Propecia should be seriously considered because it successfully stops further hair loss in 90% of men and half of these man actually regrow hair!

The hormone DHT is the cause of hair loss in genetically susceptible men. Propecia begins to block the formation of DHT almost immediately and decreased levels of hair shedding can be seen in as little as three months.

Men who forgo Propecia will continue to lose their hair.
