Treat What's Driving It. Not Just What's Visible.

No regenerative treatment produces its full potential on top of an unaddressed root cause. Arbour Longevity's hair restoration program begins with comprehensive labs, identifying the hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, and inflammatory burden that drive hair loss at the biological level. Then we prescribe the right medications and correct what we find.

Regenerative Hair Restoration at Arbour Longevity

Three Tools. Every Regenerative Mechanism.

•

Rx · Topical · Men & Women

Minoxidil

Topical vasodilator · FDA-approved for hair loss

Topical Minoxidil is the most widely studied FDA-approved medication for both male and female pattern hair loss. It works by widening blood vessels to improve blood flow and nutrient delivery to hair follicles, prolonging the anagen (growth) phase and promoting follicular miniaturization reversal. Most effective when combined with regenerative treatments that address the follicular environment directly. Arbour Longevity prescribes clinician-appropriate formulations and concentrations based on your individual assessment.

Appropriate for: Men and women with androgenetic alopecia · Post-partum hair loss · Diffuse thinning

•

Rx · Oral · Men Only

Finasteride / Dutasteride

5-alpha reductase inhibitors · DHT reduction

Finasteride and Dutasteride inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the androgen primarily responsible for follicular miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia. Finasteride inhibits the Type II 5-alpha reductase isoenzyme; Dutasteride inhibits both Type I and Type II, producing a more complete DHT reduction. Both are clinician-prescribed at Arbour Longevity following evaluation, including hormone baseline assessment. Significant potential side effects are discussed at consultation, patient education and informed consent are foundational to appropriate prescribing.

Appropriate for: Men with androgenetic alopecia · Male pattern baldness · Hamilton-Norwood classification I–VI

•

Rx · Oral · Women Only

Spironolactone

Aldosterone antagonist · Anti-androgen for women

Spironolactone is prescribed off-label for women with androgenetic alopecia and hormonal hair loss, acting as an anti-androgen to reduce the effect of androgens on hair follicles without the systemic testosterone reduction that makes 5-ARI medications inappropriate for women. Particularly effective for women with PCOS, elevated androgens, or postmenopausal hormonal hair loss. Potassium and blood pressure monitoring required. Spironolactone is prescribed and monitored as part of a comprehensive hormonal and hair restoration protocol.

Appropriate for: Women with androgenetic alopecia · PCOS-related hair loss · Hormonal/post-menopausal hair loss · Elevated androgen levels

Root Cause Hair Loss Assessment

What Your Labs Reveal That a Mirror Cannot.

Hair loss is rarely a single-cause condition. Androgenetic alopecia, the genetic component, may be the diagnosis, but what is accelerating it is frequently nutritional depletion, thyroid dysfunction, cortisol burden, or hormone imbalance that a scalp examination and a genetic history will never reveal.

Ferritin is the most commonly missed driver of female hair loss. Levels that fall within the conventional "normal" range produce significant hair shedding when below the functional optimal threshold. The same is true for thyroid function, subclinical hypothyroidism, missed by TSH alone, drives both shedding and follicular miniaturization without a diagnosable disease state.

Arbour Longevity's hair loss assessment identifies every identifiable contributing factor and addresses it directly, because a regenerative treatment program that doesn't correct a ferritin deficiency or a thyroid imbalance is working at a fraction of its potential.
