Medical Management of Hair Loss
Men and women trust the hair loss treatment specialists at the Quatela Center for Hair Restoration for safe, medically sound treatments that help them maintain and regrow their hair.
Double board-certified facial plastic surgeons Dr. Quatela, Dr. Lee, and Dr. Montague offer medical treatment options for people at all stages of hair loss. These medications and supplements support hair health and vitality, whether taken before, instead of, or after hair transplant surgery.
Our hair restoration specialists are here to guide you through your many options during a private consultation. They often recommend medical therapy before proceeding to hair transplant surgery and pre-treat hair transplant patients before surgery. Our surgeons believe that more comprehensive hair loss treatment plans produce better overall results.
TrichoTest™
Developed by trichology experts (hair and scalp specialists), TrichoTest (made by Fagron Genomics) uses in-depth analysis of your DNA to take the guesswork out of treating hair loss. The process is simple:
- We collect a saliva sample using a simple cheek swab and have you complete a medical history and lifestyle questionnaire.
- We send your sample and questionnaire to the Fagron Genomics US lab.
- The lab performs a detailed analysis and, within about 5 to 7 business days, sends us a detailed report identifying specific genetic markers associated with different types of hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), alopecia areata, and other forms of hair thinning. The report also lists the treatments you are most likely to respond to and not respond to. It also identifies risk factors proactively before significant hair thinning or balding occurs.
- Your hair restoration surgeon creates a tailored treatment plan that includes the treatments and medications that are best suited to you.

Nutrafol® Supplements
Nutrafol oral nutraceuticals improve the quality and health of the hair as it grows. With options formulated specifically for women and men, these products can help if you have thinning hair, early signs of receding hairline, bald spots, or simply want to thicken and improve your hair fullness. They contain natural, medical-grade ingredients such as curcumin, ashwagandha, amino acids, marine collagen, hyaluronic acid, organic kelp, vitamins, and minerals to address the effects of stress, control inflammation, inhibit the hormone linked to hair loss, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and more.
Rogaine® (Minoxidil)
The active ingredient in Rogaine, minoxidil, revitalizes shrunken hair follicles, increasing their size. With continued use, applied to the scalp twice a day, Rogaine provides the following benefits to hair follicles:
- Increased size
- Improved blood flow
- Extended growing phase (shortened rest phase)
Rogaine Extra Strength for Men is the strongest FDA-approved hair regrowth product available without a prescription.
Propecia® (Finasteride)
DHT is a male hormone thought to cause hair follicles to shrink (miniaturize), contributing to male pattern hair loss. Finasteride (the active ingredient in Propecia) blocks the formation of DHT to interrupt a key factor in developing inherited male pattern hair loss in men.
Propecia, a prescription tablet taken once daily, has been proven to effectively lower DHT in the scalp. With continued use, it increases the number of scalp hairs. Generally, you will not be able to regain all your lost hair. If you stop taking Propecia, you will likely lose the hair you have gained within 12 months of your last pill.
Note: Propecia is only for men; it has not been proven safe for women or children.
A Reputation Built on Results
Four months ago, I underwent a hair transplant at Quatela. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. The staff, particularly Stacie, at Quatela is exceptional and made my experience very enjoyable. If you are considering any hair procedure, I highly recommend contacting Quatela for a consultation.
Life changing - I would never consider going anywhere else
I had a neck lift on May 1st. I reviewed Dr. Quatela extensively, because let's face it, your face is the first thing people see. The staff was phenomenal. Dr. Q is soft spoken, sweet, and he KNOWS what he's doing. I would never consider going anywhere else. I look in the mirror now, and I'm happy and grateful. It changed my life!

Fantastic result - I feel so much better now
Dr Quatela was amazing, kind, thorough and overall excellent at what he does. I wouldn't let anyone touch my eyes but Dr Quatela and his team . His reputation is stellar and I also have friends who are prior clients / patients who also had great results. I no longer look as tired. I inherited the hooded eyes from my mom and I feel so much better now.
Formula 82F® & Formula 82M® Topical Hair Loss Medication
These topical prescription hair loss medications made by Hair Science are helpful for patients seeking nonsurgical hair loss solutions and those who want to increase hair retention and the growth and strength of the hair after follicular unit extraction (FUE) or follicular unit transplantation (FUT) surgery.
- 82F is a compounded medication that combines the therapeutic advantages of minoxidil and finasteride with a small amount of tretinoin to increase the rate of scalp turnover and a topical steroid to decrease irritation. This product is for men only and has not been tested for women.
- 82M is formulated without finasteride, so it’s safe for women. This topical medication combines 5% minoxidil with tretinoin and a topical steroid to promote hair retention while improving absorption and reducing irritation to the scalp.
