Thoughtful Use of Medical Therapies

Hair loss in women is complex. While some types respond best to non-surgical therapies or lifestyle adjustments, others—like scarring alopecia or alopecia areata—may require short- or long-term prescription support.

That’s why our first step is always a comprehensive medical workup. We take time to understand your history, symptoms, lab results, and current prescriptions before determining whether medication could affect your treatment plan.

When Might a Prescription Be Part of My Plan?

At our Scarsdale office, prescription therapy is considered case-by-case and always grounded in your specific diagnosis.

Inflammatory and autoimmune conditions

In select cases, we may prescribe steroids, immunosuppressants, or antibiotics to help reduce inflammation and stabilize active hair loss.

Medication-related hair thinning

Some commonly prescribed drugs, such as hormonal therapies or antidepressants, can impact hair health. We’ll help you evaluate whether your current medications might contribute to shedding or thinning, and guide you on addressing it with your primary care provider if needed.

We’ll never recommend stopping a prescription without consulting your physician, but we will ensure that every factor affecting your hair health is considered.

“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 was a bit nervous because hair loss treatment can involve costly fad tonics and creams, snake oils. That is not the case at Medi Tresse, where only medically proven techniques are suggested. I would recommend them highly.”

Complementary Treatments for Stronger Results

When prescription medications are used, they’re rarely the entire solution. We often pair them with therapies that target other dimensions of hair restoration, including:

  • Regenerative treatments like PRP or OPC Therapy
  • Medical-grade topicals and nutritional support
  • Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for follicle stimulation
  • In-office scalp exfoliations to optimize scalp health

This integrative model helps our Scarsdale patients experience more complete, more sustainable results.

Women-First Care, Backed by Medical Expertise

Unlike general dermatology or aesthetic clinics, Medi Tresse was built from the ground up to serve women facing hair loss. Our approach is rooted in empathy, medical rigor, and years of experience treating female patients who’ve been ignored or misdiagnosed elsewhere.

You’ll never feel rushed, dismissed, or pressured. Just informed, supported, and taken seriously.
