Medical Hair Loss Prescriptions for Women in Boston, MA

Some types of hair loss require more than just topicals or supplements. At Medi Tresse Boston, medical prescriptions are sometimes essential to a personalized plan.

Targeted Medical Support, Guided by Diagnosis

Unlike over-the-counter products or cosmetic fixes, prescription medications are tailored to your specific type and stage of hair loss. But they’re not one-size-fits-all and are not the first solution we reach for. At Medi Tresse Boston, we lead with diagnostics. That means our providers will first work to understand why your hair is lost, using lab work, scalp analysis, and a detailed health history to determine if medication is necessary.

We don’t use prescriptions casually. But when indicated, they’re used thoughtfully and precisely, backed by science and adjusted to your body’s needs.

When Prescriptions Make Sense

Prescription medication may be used in two primary ways:

To Treat Specific Types of Hair Loss

In cases like scarring alopecia or alopecia areata, we may include short-term or long-term prescriptions such as topical or oral steroids, immunosuppressants, or antibiotics to reduce inflammation and support follicle recovery.

To Identify and Manage Contributing Factors

Many common medications—especially hormonal prescriptions like birth control or hormone replacement therapy—can either contribute to hair loss or help stabilize it. We’ll review your current regimen and, when relevant, provide recommendations you can take back to your prescribing doctor.

We never advise altering or stopping a prescribed medication without collaborating with your other providers. Instead, we help you understand how your current prescriptions may be impacting your hair and explore ways to support regrowth safely.

“I was very impressed with their approach. They follow the science to treat hair loss. Therapies were explained in detail, and I received a follow-up call after the visit in case I had questions. I would recommend them highly.”

Combining Prescriptions With Other Therapies

Medication alone is rarely the full solution. At Medi Tresse Boston, prescriptions are just one part of a broader treatment plan, which may include:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or Optimal Platelet Concentration (OPC) therapy
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
Nutritional supplementation
Topical growth stimulants
Lifestyle and hormonal guidance

We don’t sell treatments; we build care strategies. Sometimes that means combining therapies to create the strongest path forward.

You Deserve More Than a Default Prescription

Too often, women are offered finasteride or minoxidil without a proper explanation or diagnosis. At Medi Tresse Boston, that’s not how we operate. We rarely use finasteride for female hair loss. Instead, we lean on medical judgment, evidence, and partnership—empowering you to understand why a treatment is recommended and what to expect.
