Available Treatment Options
Our custom hair growth formulations combine multiple active ingredients at prescriber-specified concentrations. From topical minoxidil and finasteride combinations to oral DHT blockers, each treatment is personalized for your hair loss pattern.
Eflornithine Cream
Eflornithine Cream is used to slow the growth of unwanted facial or body hair. It works on the hair follicles just under the skin. When used as directed, it can make hair grow back more slowly and finer. It is for external use only and should be applied in a thin layer to the affected skin.
Biotin | Minoxidil Capsules
This oral capsule combines biotin, a B-vitamin that supports healthy hair, skin, and nails, with minoxidil, a medication that improves blood flow to hair follicles. The blend is designed to help reduce hair thinning and promote thicker, stronger strands when taken as part of a complete hair-care plan prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Biotin | Minoxidil | Spironolactone Capsule
This compounded oral capsule combines biotin, minoxidil, and spironolactone to help reduce hair thinning and support new hair growth. Biotin supports strong hair structure, minoxidil increases blood flow to hair roots, and spironolactone lowers the effect of hormones that shrink follicles. Your healthcare provider may choose this option when topical treatments are not enough or not tolerated.
Biotin | Finasteride | Minoxidil Capsules
This capsule combines biotin, finasteride, and minoxidil to support healthy hair growth and slow hair loss. It is taken by mouth and is made by a compounding pharmacy. Your healthcare provider will decide if this mix is right for you.
Minoxidil | Dutasteride | Finasteride | Tretinoin | Ketoconazole Solution
This compounded topical solution is applied to the scalp to help slow hair loss and support new hair growth. It combines five active ingredients that work together to improve blood flow to hair follicles, lower the hormone that shrinks follicles, reduce inflammation, and keep the scalp healthy. The formula is alcohol-based for quick drying and enhanced penetration. This medication is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy and is provided only with a valid prescription.
Minoxidil | Tretinoin Solution
This compounded scalp solution combines 5% minoxidil with 0.01% tretinoin to support hair regrowth in men and women with thinning hair. Minoxidil boosts blood flow and nutrient delivery to hair follicles, while tretinoin helps the minoxidil soak in better and keeps scalp skin healthy. The two ingredients work together to extend the growth phase of hair and can thicken existing strands over time.
Minoxidil | Finasteride Topical Solution
This compounded topical solution contains 5% minoxidil and 0.25% finasteride to help slow hair thinning and encourage new hair growth. It is applied directly to the scalp. The combination targets multiple pathways that cause male-pattern hair loss. This product is made by prescription only and is not FDA-approved as a finished drug product, but each ingredient is FDA-approved for other uses.
Minoxidil | Fluocinolone Acetonide | Tretinoin | Vitamin E Acetate Solution
This prescription spray is applied to the scalp to encourage hair growth, calm irritation, and support overall scalp health. It combines Minoxidil to stimulate follicles, Fluocinolone to reduce inflammation, Tretinoin to speed up cell turnover and boost absorption, and Vitamin E Acetate to provide antioxidant moisture. The formula is alcohol-based for fast drying and is meant to stay on the scalp—do not rinse out. Visible improvement usually takes several months of consistent use.
