Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It will most likely not cause a hair fall. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Sahar Nadimi, MD · Answer

Minoxidil is indicated for promoting hair growth in patients with male or female-pattern hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia), resulting in increase hair counts and total hair weight (i.e. re-enlarge the fine hairs).  Finasteride is a medication (5-alpha reductase inhibitor) that decreases levels of DHT. Although it is by far the most effective treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men, it is not FDA-approved for women.  Finasteride therapy for female-pattern hair loss has also been studied and has been shown to result in significant improvement in hair density and hair thickness at higher medication doses. It is therefore sometimes prescribed off-label. These 2 medications have the most evidence to support their safety and efficacy compared to other treatments for hair loss. I recommend an in-person consultation with a hair specialist to learn more about the various treatment options.
