Reversing Testosterone Induced Hair Loss with Medical Therapy

At 72 years old this female patient noticed worsening hair loss after taking testosterone pellets for 4 years.

She had previously tried topical minoxidil but did not like the daily application or the way her hair felt after use. After consultation with Dr. Rogers, we changed her to low-dose oral minoxidil for the first 6months and then added finasteride 5mg on a subsequent visit.

Her photos showed gradual hair regrowth over a 3-year period. Today, at 76 years old, her husband was so excited for her that he said, “Your hair finally looks just like it did before!”
