FDA Approved, Medically Proven Prescription Treatments:
MINOXIDIL - FDA approved
Minoxidil is one of the two medically proven and FDA approved medications for genetic male hair loss and the only FDA approved medication for genetic female hair loss and is available from the Belgravia pharmacy. It is a topical liquid or cream applied to the scalp once or twice daily. Minoxidil can be used to treat genetic hair loss (Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss) amongst other conditions including alopecia areata, diffuse hair loss and traction alopecia and is available from Belgravia in a 4 or 5% solution with medroxyprogesterone added, or a 12.5% cream with azelaic acid added which is designed for the more stubborn areas of hair loss such as the temples.
Minoxidil increases the blood supply to the areas of application by opening up potassium channels.
This has been proven to stabilise and in many cases reverse hair loss.

PROPECIA (men only) - FDA approved
Propecia is the other of the two medically proven FDA approved medications for genetic male pattern hair loss. It takes its form as a small pill which is taken once daily.
Propecia works by blocking production of the hormone ‘DHT’ (Dihydrotestosterone). DHT is a form of testosterone and is the hormone that causes genetic hair loss. DHT is used by the body for sexual development during the fetal stages (before birth) and then during puberty and has no uses after these times.
