Finasteride
At DiStefano Hair Restoration Center, we offer Finasteride (Propecia), an FDA-approved oral medication designed to address hair loss and promote regrowth. By reducing levels of DHT, a hormone linked to hair follicle shrinkage, Finasteride effectively combats male pattern baldness, helping to maintain a fuller, healthier head of hair and restore confidence.
Finasteride Overview
Finasteride is an FDA-approved oral medication used to treat male pattern baldness and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by lowering dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, slowing hair loss and reducing prostate size. While effective, it may cause side effects like decreased libido and mood changes.
How it Works
Finasteride inhibits 5-alpha reductase, blocking testosterone’s conversion to DHT. Lower DHT prevents hair follicle miniaturization, preserving hair and sometimes promoting regrowth. In the prostate, reduced DHT shrinks the gland, easing BPH symptoms.
Side Effects
Finasteride may cause side effects, including uncommon sexual side effects (1.2–1.4% of cases) and, in some reports, depressive symptoms. For those avoiding oral medication, topical finasteride (82F) offers a lower risk of sexual side effects while still promoting hair regrowth, though with slightly lower efficacy.
Topical 82M & 82F
At DiStefano Hair Restoration Center, we offer Formula 82M and Formula 82F, advanced prescription topical treatments formulated to combat hair loss effectively. These cutting-edge solutions combine clinically proven ingredients to stimulate hair regrowth and enhance scalp health, providing a convenient, non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments.
Overview of Topical 82M & 82F
Formula 82M and 82F feature proven ingredients like Minoxidil, Tretinoin, Fluocinolone, and Finasteride to treat hair thinning by targeting scalp health and hormonal factors. Both are propylene glycol-free, ensuring a lightweight, quick-drying application suitable for daily use.
How it works
82M uses Minoxidil’s ability to stimulate hair follicles, aided by Tretinoin and Fluocinolone to reduce inflammation and improve scalp health. 82F incorporates Finasteride to reduce dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels while Minoxidil supports thicker, healthier hair.

How it Works

Side Effects
Laser caps have no known side effects other than mild scalp warmth or tingling during use, which is temporary and harmless.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is an innovative, non-invasive solution that replicates the look of natural hair follicles to create the appearance of fuller hair. Ideal for individuals experiencing hair thinning, pattern baldness, or scarring, SMP offers a cost-effective and long-lasting alternative to surgical hair restoration procedures.
Discover (SMP)
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a safe, non-invasive procedure that creates the appearance of fuller hair by depositing tiny pigment dots into the scalp, mimicking hair follicles. With no incisions, stitches, or risk of scarring, SMP offers a cost-effective alternative to hair transplants and hairpieces. The results are long-lasting, typically enduring for several years, depending on factors such as skin type and lifestyle, making it a low-maintenance solution for hair loss.
How it Works
SMP uses a number of custom pigments and three microscopic needles to deposit pigment into the upper dermis, replicating natural hair follicles. This precise technique follows the patient’s unique follicle pattern, creating a realistic, fuller appearance. The pigment is designed to be biocompatible and fade-resistant, ensuring long-lasting results. With no surgical downtime, the procedure is minimally invasive.
Side Effects
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) has minimal side effects, including temporary redness, mild swelling, and slight pigment fading over time. Infection risk is low if aftercare is followed, and allergic reactions are rare. Overall, it is a safe and well-tolerated procedure.
