Introduction
If your hairline has been throwing a disappearing act or your once-lush locks are looking a little sparse, donāt stressāMinoxidil and Finasteride are here to help bring the fullness back!
At Chopra Cosmetic Surgery, we take hair restoration seriously in the greater Washington, D.C. area, but that doesnāt mean it has to be complicated! Minoxidil and Finasteride are some of the most trusted solutions for tackling hair loss.
Minoxidil is a topical treatment that promotes hair growth and slows hair loss. It improves blood flow to the hair follicles, stimulates them, and encourages hair growth. Itās available over the counter in liquid or foam form and is typically applied directly to the scalp. While it doesnāt work for everyone, many people have experienced positive results with consistent use.Ā
Finasteride is a medication used to treat hair loss in men. This treatment works by keeping testosterone from converting to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for hair thinning and loss. By doing this can help slow down hair loss.

Your first step to starting Minoxidil or Finasteride treatment is to see one of our specialists at Chopra Cosmetic Surgery. During your consultation, we will discuss your specific hair loss concerns and what you’re hoping to achieve.
We will also assess your condition and determine whether Minoxidil, Finasteride, or a combination of both is the best treatment for you.
If you’re using Minoxidil, youāll apply the topical solution directly to your scalp, ensuring even coverage over areas experiencing thinning.
If you’re starting an oral prescription for Finasteride, your provider will discuss dosage, timing, and what to expect as the medication works to slow hair loss and support regrowth.
No in-office procedure is required; it’s just a commitment to consistently taking your daily dose.
Both treatments have no downtime, so you can continue your day as normal after applying Minoxidil or taking Finasteride. Thereās no need for special care or restrictions following either of the treatments.
