When this patient came to see me, she had suffered from thinning hair for 20 years, and her only consistent treatment had been a DHT-blocking medication 1mg/day for 20 years. She also had a large amount of miniaturization throughout the top of her head (her hair check number was 33). I increased her DHT-blocking medication to 5mg/day and started her on the Capillus Laser cap and minoxidil 2%. (DHT-blocking medication is safe for post-menopausal women.)

DHT-Blocking Medication, Laser Therapy, Minoxidil
She returned six months later for a repeat hair check which was 58. She increased from 33 to 58 - a 75% improvement in her density! As you can see in the after pictures, taken six months after she started new treatments, this is a "wow" moment. Until now, I have not seen a patient improve by 75% in their hair check density. (There is usually about a 20% improvement from a good response to medical treatment.) This patient is VERY excited about her progress.
