Propecia
Propecia (Finasteride) is the first and only FDA approved oral medication that effectively treats male pattern baldness. Propecia works my blocking the enzyme 5-alpha reductase type ll which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). For those genetically predisposed to male pattern hair loss, the hormone DHT miniaturizes susceptible hair follicles causing the hair to progressively become shorter and thinner until it only produces, essentially invisible vellus hair. Early intervention with Propecia has been shown to be extremely effective in slowing or stopping the miniaturization process that leads to male pattern baldness.

The International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons is a consumer organization that selectively screens skilled and ethical hair transplant surgeons. The IAHRS does not offer an open membership policy to doctors practicing hair transplatation, and is the only group that recognizes that all surgeons are not equal in their skill and technique. Its elite membership seeks to represent the best in the discipline, the true leaders in the field of surgical hair restoration.
