  • Learn the latest information about oral medications for all types of hair loss in women. Does oral minoxidil work as well as topical? What about hormone therapy for androgenic alopecia? Hear about the efficacy and safety of new JAK inhibitors for Alopecia Areata and possibly for Scarring Alopecia as well. These are just a few of the medications we will review.

    You may want to add a new type of hair loss to the presentation termed fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution (FAPD) which although a type of AGA it is also a form of scarring alopecia and hair regrowth is typically NOT possible

    I need a hair loss specialist in Tampa FL area, any recommendations? Three different dermatologists was a waste of my time. Thank you so much,

    I've been on finasteride 2.5mg for almost 2 months and wondering how long to take that dose before going up to 5mg (if that's even needed). No results yet except for a random 2-day shed at the 2-week mark 😬 but had early side effects that faded so don't want to go up unless it's needed. Thanks!

    • @meditresse

      Finasteride takes 6-12 months to help. I generally have our patients wait 6 months before increasing the dose from 2.5 to 5.0mg. As always make sure to discuss your plan with your hair loss specialist.

    Dr. I have been using topical Minoxidil and it has been causing me eye problems. Is this normal?

    • @meditresse
      @meditresse  6 месяцев назад +1

      @alajandrajuarez6156 - Never heard of any eye problems from minoxidil. Go to your ophthalmologist.

      @@meditresse . I did. I stopped using it and the irritation stoped. Now I am trying the pills instead.

    I am losing my eyebrows and eyelashes from Lichen Planopilaris. What about microblading?I do have Roceasa so would that be bad for my skin?

    • @meditresse
      @meditresse  6 месяцев назад

      @carmenwilley8858 - Microblading is an excellent solution and often works well. It is typically okay with rosacea, but you should check with your dermatologist.

    Rogaine worked for me until I became allergic to the formulation---probably the carrier

    Oral minoxidil is disgusting. Made me shed even worse for 3 months, never helped at all. Stopped it completely. Topical still works better.

    Hi, Thank you for these videos! I have had a tingly sort of feeling on my scalp that kinda comes and goes. Inflammation has been ruled out through genetic testing. Most likely androgenetic. I have been on oral minoxidil for almost 4 months now with no improvement yet… still hopeful! My question is if it is possible to feel hair loss and hair growth?

    • @meditresse
      @meditresse  6 месяцев назад

      @jeffevieramsey3499 Tingling is usually from inflammation. We don't feel hair grow or fall out. Inflammation is not ruled out by genetic testing but rather by examining the scalp.

    I am dealing from hair loss maybe due to telogen effluvium or anxiety. Nobody that I have seen can help me. Do you know a good clinic near Montreal in Canada. Thank you.

    In the other video you said that women who have had breast cancer should NOT use Finasteride?

    • @carmenwilley8858
      @carmenwilley8858 11 месяцев назад

      Thank you for answering this. I have been using Finasteride and will now quit.

    • @meditresse
      @meditresse  6 месяцев назад

      Asbolutely do not use finasteride with a history of breast cancer.

    Ugh refusing to prescribe medication to women because they are at child baring age is so backward. Im a young women and I take isotretinion and finasteride and it has been very successful. I source the medication myself as my doctor refused to prescribe it. I don’t want kids. If I do I will stop using the medication and get pregnant when it is safe
