Medication can be used as an alternative non-invasive option for hair loss including androgenetic alopecia, male pattern hair loss and female pattern hair loss. Medication is known to be a safe, effective, steroid-free alternative treatment for Alopecia Areata. It will take at least six months of treatment to stop further hair loss and begin hair hair growth. It may take several months to determine whether the treatment is effective for you. If it’s working, you’ll need to keep taking it indefinitely to retain the benefits. The medication protocol is available in sprays and creams.
