Frequently Asked Questions

What non-surgical treatments are offered at your clinic

Options include oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, PRP, microneedling, low-level laser therapy, corticosteroid injections, and combination therapies. These treatments are typically administered in conjunction with surgical options and are medically supervised. They are selected based on individual diagnosis, stage of hair loss, and safety profile.

No. These treatments work best for patients with active follicles and early-to-moderate hair loss. They stabilize shedding and may promote regrowth, but cannot regenerate hair in fully bald zones. They are often used to complement surgical procedures.

Currently, we do not offer new consultations for non-surgical therapy as a standalone service. These treatments are discussed as part of an integrated surgical plan. For ongoing medication management, patients are encouraged to work with their primary care physician.

Stopping treatment may reverse gains. Most non-surgical therapies require ongoing use to maintain results. If you’re considering surgery, medications may still be recommended pre- and post-op to protect non-transplanted hair.

If you are not a surgical candidate, Dr. Sharma will explain why and may recommend alternative strategies such as medical therapy, delay, or no intervention. The clinic prioritizes safety and realistic outcomes over sales.
