Hair Loss Treatment Tracker: Know What's Working

Most treatments take months to show results. Without tracking, you're guessing. Log your treatments, monitor your progress, and make data-driven decisions about your hair health.

Common Hair Loss Treatments

Here's what's available and how long each takes to show results. Track any of these with Trichometrics.

Finasteride

Oral Medication

Blocks DHT, the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. Typically taken as a 1mg daily tablet.

3–12 months for visible results Stops loss in ~90%, regrowth in ~65%

Minoxidil

Topical Treatment

Increases blood flow to hair follicles and prolongs the growth phase. Available as liquid, foam, or oral form.

4–6 months for noticeable results Varies; best for crown area

Microneedling

Device / Procedure

Creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen production and growth factors. Often combined with minoxidil for enhanced absorption.

3–6 months with weekly sessions Synergistic with minoxidil

PRP Therapy

In-Clinic Procedure

Platelet-Rich Plasma from your blood is injected into the scalp. Growth factors promote hair follicle health and stimulate regrowth.

3–6 months, multiple sessions Promising results in clinical studies

Ketoconazole Shampoo

Anti-Fungal / DHT Blocker

Anti-fungal shampoo with mild anti-androgenic properties. Used 2-3x per week. Reduces scalp inflammation and may reduce local DHT.

Ongoing adjunct treatment Supportive role alongside other treatments

Hair Transplant

Surgical Procedure

Permanent solution that moves DHT-resistant follicles from donor area to thinning regions. Results look natural and last a lifetime.

6–12 months for full result Permanent; limited by donor area

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best hair loss treatment?

The most evidence-backed treatments are finasteride (oral) and minoxidil (topical). Finasteride addresses the root cause (DHT) while minoxidil stimulates growth independently. Many dermatologists recommend combining both for maximum effect. The best treatment depends on your specific type and stage of hair loss, consult a specialist for personalized advice.

How long before I see results from hair loss treatment?

Most treatments require 3–6 months of consistent use before visible results. Finasteride may take up to 12 months for maximum effect. It's important to track progress with photos because changes are gradual and hard to notice day-to-day. Trichometrics helps quantify these subtle changes.

Why is tracking treatment progress important?

Without objective tracking, it's nearly impossible to know if a treatment is working. Hair loss is gradual, and subjective assessment is unreliable. Progress photos with AI analysis give you data-driven confidence to either continue a treatment or switch to something more effective.

Can I track multiple treatments at once?

Yes! Many people use a combination approach (e.g., finasteride + minoxidil + microneedling). Trichometrics lets you log all your treatments with dosages and frequencies, then correlates them with your analysis results to see what combination works best for you.
