Thinning hair can change how you feel about your appearance long before others can even tell. At our medspa in Short Hills, New Jersey, our team supports hair health for men and women using a combination of supplements, topical products, and in-office treatments. Because every cause of hair loss is different, recommendations are personalized rather than one-size-fits-all.
As part of the Beverly Friedlander MD practice, our approach focuses on science-backed options that strengthen hair from the inside out and help you feel truly rejuvenated.
What Hair Restoration Can Help With
Our treatments may benefit:
- Early thinning along the part or temples
- Excessive shedding
- Mild recession patterns
- Loss of density from stress, hormones, or aging
- Weak or slow-growing strands
- Hair loss from trauma or scarring
During your consultation, we review your health history, patterns of hair change, and available treatment options so your plan aligns with your goals.
What to Expect During Your Visit
During your visit, your provider will examine your scalp, review the likely contributors to your hair thinning, and outline which therapies are appropriate for your situation. Because causes vary — hormones, nutrition, stress, genetics, medications, or inflammation — treatment plans are individualized.
Some solutions focus on internal support, others on topical stimulation or targeted in-office therapy. Most patients combine several approaches for the best long-term improvement.
Hair Restoration Options
We are all subject to hair loss beginning at different times in our lives. Those who are lucky enough to escape hair loss until much later in life would still benefit from nutritional hair health support. Others would benefit from more focused interventions such as:
- Non-prescription nutritional support that nurtures hair from the inside out, appropriate for everyone:
Supplements
Daily use of targeted supplements can improve hair strength, reduce breakage, and support a healthier growth cycle. We often recommend Nutrafol, which includes marine collagen, botanicals, and anti-inflammatory ingredients, as well as biotin-based formulations to provide key nutrients that support follicle health over time.
Topical Minoxidil
Over-the-counter topical minoxidil(Rogaine) can help stimulate blood flow to the scalp and extend the growth phase of the hair cycle. It is commonly used for both men and women and may help slow shedding or promote fuller growth when used consistently. Although some see shedding initially, noticeable results are usually seen in 4-6 months
- Prescription-based therapies for more advanced or hormonally driven hair thinning :
Low-Dose Oral Minoxidil
For men and women who do not respond to topical solutions—or who prefer oral therapy—low-dose minoxidil may be prescribed. It supports similar pathways as the topical version but may offer broader stimulation when monitored appropriately.
Finasteride (Propecia)
For male patients experiencing androgenic thinning, finasteride (Propecia) may help block the hormonal conversion that contributes to follicle shrinkage. It’s used selectively under supervision and is not recommended for women.
- Non Surgical, in office, treatment options:
PRP Hair Restoration
PRP hair restoration is an in-office treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma from your own blood to stimulate the follicles. It supports stronger, healthier strands and can help slow genetic thinning.
PRP is often paired with supplements or topicals to reinforce results and maintain density between sessions.
Low-Level Light Treatment
Low Level Light Treatment (LLLT) uses red or near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity in the scalp. This noninvasive therapy supports blood flow, reduces inflammation, and helps revive dormant hair follicles—making it a helpful tool for early-stage hair thinning.
With consistent use, LLLT may also help strengthen existing hair strands and promote a healthier environment for new hair growth.
- Surgical treatment options:
Hair Transplants (FUE)
For men and women whose hair loss continues despite early interventions started long before progessive hair loss and balding is seen, hair transplants offer a viable solution. Gone are the days of hair plugs. State of the art FUE ( follicular unit extraction) is suggested. Hundreds of small tissue grafts containing 1-3 hair follicles each are transplanted into the troubled areas, improving a receding hair line or overall hair density.
