What is AGA Treatment?
At our clinic, both men and women primarily undergo treatment with oral medications to suppress hair loss progression and promote hair regrowth. The main cause of hair loss is DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a type of male hormone that negatively affects hair follicles, leading to hair thinning and reduced hair density. This is a progressive condition, and if left untreated, it can worsen, making early intervention crucial. In our treatments, you can expect to see 78% hair regrowth by 3–4 months and 99.4% by 4–6 months after starting the medication.

Treatment Features
At our clinic, we offer different medications for men and women. For men, we recommend Finasteride, which adjusts the effects of male hormones and prevents hair loss, combined with Minoxidil to improve blood circulation and promote hair growth.
For women, we recommend Spironolactone, which adjusts female hormone levels and prevents hair loss, in combination with Minoxidil for improving blood flow and encouraging hair growth.
- Downtime & Precautions
- In the early stages of treatment, you may experience initial hair shedding. If the treatment has a full-body effect, body hair may become slightly denser.

QWhat is the difference between prescription hair regrowth medication and over-the-counter hair growth products?
Prescription hair regrowth medications are scientifically developed based on the mechanisms of AGA and hair loss in Japanese people, and they are produced with medical evidence. The concentration of Minoxidil is higher in prescription medications compared to over-the-counter products. High-concentration Minoxidil liquid has shown excellent effects for many people. Additionally, Minoxidil tablets are formulated with various patented supplement ingredients to enhance absorption in the body. Minoxidil is a proven hair regrowth ingredient, approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) for safety and efficacy.

QCan I take these oral medications with other medications I am currently using?
Many people use these medications alongside others, and so far, no issues have been reported. However, if you are regularly taking other medications, it’s advisable to consult your primary care doctor to confirm whether it’s safe to take them together, especially with stronger medications. These tablets work by creating an optimal environment inside the body to enhance hair regrowth, and proper usage ensures the best results.

At our clinic, we provide treatments that can only be done in a medical setting.
