Medical Hair Therapy
Topical & Oral Therapy for Hair Loss
FDA-approved Minoxidil, Finasteride and Dutasteride, combined for maximum, lasting results at Clinique Internationale.
Overview
What is Topical & Oral Medical Therapy?
Minoxidil, Finasteride and Dutasteride are the FDA-approved medicines for the management of hair loss, backed by decades of clinical use and proven results.
At Clinique Internationale, we combine your hair transplant, hair vitamins, and these medications in a way that extracts maximum advantage from all of them together achieving lustrous, sustained hair growth for our patients.
Used correctly and under supervision, this medical foundation doesn't just slow hair loss it actively supports the results of any surgical or nutritional treatment you undergo alongside it.
The Science
How These Medications Work
Each medication targets hair loss through a different mechanism together, they address both the vascular and hormonal drivers of thinning hair.
FDA-Approved Medications
A vasodilator that increases blood flow to hair follicles and prolongs the active growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle.
A Type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that lowers scalp DHT levels, the hormone primarily responsible for pattern hair loss.
Blocks both Type I and Type II 5-alpha reductase, offering broader and often stronger DHT suppression than Finasteride.
Using these together tackles hair loss from multiple angles simultaneously, rather than relying on a single mechanism.
Mechanisms of Action
Minoxidil widens blood vessels at the scalp, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to weakened follicles.
Finasteride and Dutasteride reduce the hormone that causes follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair.
Follicles spend more time in the active growth phase, resulting in thicker, longer-lasting strands.
Medication is layered with vitamins and, where appropriate, hair transplant surgery for compounding results.
Lead Specialist
Medical Hair Therapy at Clinique Internationale
At Clinique Internationale, medical hair loss management is designed and monitored by Dr. Bhavesh Gupta, who evaluates each patient's hair loss pattern, medical history, and goals before prescribing any combination of Minoxidil, Finasteride, or Dutasteride.
Dr. Gupta integrates this medical foundation with cyclic vitamin therapy and, where relevant, hair transplant surgery building a coordinated plan rather than treating each option in isolation.

The Protocol
How the Treatment Plan is Built
Medication is never prescribed without an assessment every plan is matched to the patient's hair loss pattern and health profile.
Dr. Gupta assesses the hair loss pattern, family history, and any contraindications before prescribing.
The right combination Minoxidil, Finasteride, and/or Dutasteride is chosen for the individual case.
Dosage is started conservatively and adjusted based on tolerance and response over the following weeks.
Vitamins, and hair transplant surgery if planned, are layered into the same coordinated protocol.
Regular follow-ups track shedding, density, and any side effects, with adjustments made as needed.
Once results stabilise, the patient moves to a maintenance dose to sustain hair growth long-term.
