Drugs & Other Treatments
With the development of new drugs specific for hair loss, medications now play a significant role in both the management and prevention of baldness. This section reviews the two FDA approved medications for hair loss, Propecia and Rogaine, as well as GraftCyte, a substance that promotes wound healing.
The remainder of this section is devoted to a discussion of miscellaneous techniques for hair loss that are not recommended by the New Hair Institute, but are important for your overall understanding of the different types of hair restoration procedures being offered today. These include the standard practice of Mini-micrografting, the use of Dilators to widen the recipient sites, and transplanting Plugs (large grafts). Yes, some doctors still do this.
We also do not advise (but think that you should know about) Laser Hair Transplantation, Scalp Reductions and Flaps. A short review of Hair Systems is discussed at the end of the section. Please refer to The Patient's Guide for a more detailed discussion of this topic.
