Targeted Medications for Real Medical Needs

Hair loss is not a one-size-fits-all condition and is not always cosmetic. For certain types of hair thinning or shedding, prescription medications may be essential in restoring scalp health and preserving follicles. But we should never jump to prescriptions blindly.

Our Worcester team begins with a detailed consultation, comprehensive lab testing, and a review of your health history. If a deeper medical issue is contributing to your hair loss, we’ll explain the role prescription therapy may play—and how it fits into a personalized, well-rounded plan.

When Prescriptions Make Sense

We may recommend prescription medications in two key scenarios:

When Treating Specific Diagnoses

Certain medical conditions—like alopecia areata or forms of scarring alopecia—may require oral or topical steroids, antibiotics, or anti-inflammatory agents to prevent permanent damage to the follicle.

When Reviewing Your Existing Medications

Prescription drugs for other health concerns, such as birth control, hormone therapy, or antidepressants, can influence hair growth. We’ll assess how your current medications may be contributing to hair loss and offer informed suggestions to discuss with your prescribing provider.

We never encourage stopping or altering prescriptions without your doctor’s involvement. Our role is to educate and support, not to override your care.

Part of a Bigger Picture

Medication alone isn’t the whole answer. In most cases, prescription treatment works best when paired with complementary therapies that support your overall scalp and hair health, such as:

  • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or OPC therapy
  • Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
  • Medical-grade topicals
  • Nutritional supplementation
  • Scalp detox treatments

Our Worcester team takes a comprehensive approach to care that supports your internal and external health, with every treatment selected for its relevance to you.

“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.”
