Not all hair loss can be treated with lasers and topicals alone. At Medi Tresse Wellesley, prescription medications may be a key part of your custom care plan when used with precision and purpose.
When Medication Becomes Part of the Plan
Our providers may consider prescription medications in two ways:
To Treat Medical Forms of Hair Loss
Certain diagnoses—like scarring alopecia or autoimmune-related shedding—may require prescription steroids, antibiotics, or other drugs to calm inflammation and protect the follicle environment.
To Assess Your Current Medications’ Impact
Medications like birth control pills and hormone replacement therapies can influence hair density, texture, and retention. We’ll review your medications in detail and provide insights to discuss with your prescribing physician, helping ensure your current treatment isn’t working against your hair health.
Please note: We never recommend stopping or changing medication without medical clearance. We aim to support you with facts and collaborative care, not interfere with your ongoing treatments.
