Hair loss is a concern that affects people of all genders, ages and backgrounds, and our team is here to provide you with effective hair loss solutions you can trust. We understand that hair thinning or loss can occur for a wide range of reasons, from hormonal changes to genetic predisposition or environmental factors. Hair loss medications are one of the tools that can be used to slow, manage, or stabilise hair loss and support hair regrowth, forming an important part of comprehensive hair restoration solutions.
At Hair Transplants Melbourne, our doctor-led team tailors treatment plans for men, women and transgender individuals to achieve natural-looking results and address individual hair loss patterns. Whether you’re experiencing a receding hairline, thinning at the crown, or diffuse hair shedding, medications can play a role in improving hair density and maintaining healthy hair growth.

Causes, Treatments & Myths.
How Medications Work for Hair Loss
Medications for hair loss can target the underlying factors that contribute to thinning hair. They typically work by:
- Slowing the rate of hair shedding
- Promoting healthier, stronger hair growth of existing hair
- Supporting the existing hair follicles and prolonging their growth cycle
These treatments are often used as part of a broader plan to maintain or improve hair coverage and can be particularly effective in the early stages of hair loss. Our team carefully assesses your hair and scalp condition to recommend whether medication is appropriate as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other solutions.
Men, Women, and Transgender Individuals:
Tailored Approaches
Hair loss medications are effective for men, women and transgender individuals, but they must be prescribed and managed with care. Different factors can influence hair thinning in each group, including:
Male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) commonly affects the hairline and crown. Medications can be used to maintain hair density and slow the progression of hair loss.
Female pattern hair loss often presents as overall thinning or a widened part. Medications help manage hormonal influences and stabilise shedding.
For those transitioning, hair loss may occur due to hormone therapy, genetics, or a combination of both. Medications can be incorporated thoughtfully to align with gender-affirming care, always prioritising your goals and overall wellbeing.
At Hair Transplants Melbourne, our team works closely with each individual to understand their needs and create a supportive, safe, and inclusive environment.
Prescription Hair Growth Medications
for Different Types of Hair Loss
Hair loss doesn’t have a single cause, and that’s why a thorough medical evaluation is essential. Medications can be considered for:
- Genetic hair loss (pattern hair loss) – The most common type in men and women
- Stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium) – A temporary condition where medications may help restore a healthy hair cycle
- Hormonal hair loss – Including changes around menopause, postpartum hair loss, or androgen-related thinning
- Scarring hair loss – Though typically requiring more advanced treatments, medications can play a stabilising role in some cases
For some types of hair loss, early intervention with medications can help maintain hair density and reduce the risk of permanent hair follicle miniaturisation.
Combining Medications with
Other Hair Growth Treatments
At Hair Transplants Melbourne, we believe in a comprehensive approach. Medications often work best when combined with other hair growth treatments, creating a multifaceted plan to support hair restoration. These may include:
- Growth Factor Therapy: Using your own blood’s growth factors to nourish hair follicles and stimulate hair regrowth.
- Liquid Hair Therapy: A nutrient-rich, doctor-formulated solution that revitalises the scalp and promotes healthy hair growth.
- Exosome Treatment: Harnessing regenerative cellular messengers to support hair follicle function and repair.
- Regenera Stem Cell Treatment: Using micrografts derived from your own skin to restore scalp health and stimulate hair regeneration.
These treatments can complement the action of medications, encouraging healthier, thicker hair over time.
Hair loss medications can be a crucial part of a personalised hair restoration plan, working on their own or alongside other medical hair growth treatments or hair transplants. Our experienced team ensures every patient receives expert care tailored to their individual hair restoration journey.
Using Prescription Medications
Before or After a Hair Transplant
Hair transplants are a permanent solution to hair loss that work by redistributing your own healthy hair follicles to thinning or balding areas. Medications can be a valuable companion to hair transplantation, both before and after the procedure:
- Before a hair transplant: Medications can help stabilise hair loss, ensuring the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with existing hair and reducing the risk of future shedding.
- After a hair transplant: They can maintain hair density and support the newly transplanted follicles, promoting overall scalp health and a more even, natural-looking result.
Our doctors will discuss how medications fit into your personal hair restoration plan and provide detailed guidance for best results.
