Minoxidil is a cornerstone of our treatment plan for combating hair loss in both genders.
A popular choice for many of our patients, topical Minoxidil is a treatment applied directly to the scalp. It’s suitable for individuals experiencing hair loss, regardless of gender. One of the reasons it’s favored is its targeted approach, which concentrates the medication precisely where it’s needed, minimizing systemic effects. For those concerned about scalp sensitivity, we often recommend the foam version of this medication. The foam is less likely to cause irritation than liquid formulations, as it is free from propylene glycol, a common irritant found in some topical treatments. Its easy application and quick absorption make it a convenient and comfortable option for daily use.
Oral Minoxidil Treatment: Oral Minoxidil is another avenue for hair loss treatment, offering a more systemic approach. This method can be particularly beneficial for individuals with extensive or challenging patterns of hair loss. In men, oral Minoxidil can be prescribed more freely, while in women, especially those of child-bearing age, we typically reserve this option for post-menopausal individuals. This caution stems from the broader systemic effects of oral medication, which might not be suitable for everyone.
Personalized Combination Treatments: Recognizing that hair loss is a multifaceted issue, we often recommend a combination of treatments. For some, using both oral and topical Minoxidil simultaneously may yield the best results. This approach allows us to target hair loss from multiple angles, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment while keeping side effects to a minimum. The combination of systemic and localized treatment offers a comprehensive strategy to tackle hair loss, tailored to your specific needs.
Our Approach: We understand that hair loss is a sensitive issue and that finding the right treatment can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to guide you through each step, from initial consultation to selecting the treatment that’s right for you. Our goal is to provide you with options that not only promote hair growth but also fit comfortably into your daily routine, minimizing discomfort and maximizing results.
barret abramow2025-01-14 I recently had a FUE hair transplant with Dr. Kopelman in New York City, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I had 2,800 grafts focused on restoring my hairline, which had become more recessed than I was comfortable with. The change has been subtle yet transformative — my hairline looks completely natural, and it frames my face in a way that feels more like me. It’s not overly dramatic, just exactly what I hoped for. What really stood out about working with Dr. Kopelman and his team was their expertise and attention to detail. From the initial consultation, it was clear they understood how to approach my specific situation to achieve the best outcome. The procedure itself went smoothly, and the aftercare instructions were thorough and easy to follow. I felt confident every step of the way because of how knowledgeable and professional they were. Finding their practice in NYC was a relief — it’s not easy to trust just anyone with something as personal as your hairline. I’m really glad I chose them because they delivered excellent results without any of the typical hype. If you’re considering a hair transplant, this is definitely the team to go to. Beth Zimmerman2025-01-09 I am very happy with my experience with Dr. Kopelman. They are an amazing team. I had been looking for physician who could address my hair loss that had been bothering me for years. I am now doing mesotherapy treatments and I am so happy that my hair loss has reverted over the past 4 months. I really appreciated that a hair transplant was not forced upon me but is instead a last resort. I really appreciate the honesty. Thank you! Yoel Ohayon2025-01-03 I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Dr. Kopelman and the entire team at Kopelman Hair Restoration! I had my hair transplant last year, and the results are simply fantastic. I am fully recovered and thrilled with the transformation—my hair looks natural, and I feel like myself again. Every step of the process was handled with such expertise and care. Dr. Kopelman took the time to explain everything thoroughly, and his team was kind, professional, and supportive from start to finish. I’m beyond grateful for their exceptional work and highly recommend Kopelman Hair Restoration to anyone considering a hair restoration procedure. Rick2024-12-08 Dr. Kopelman is extremely knowledgeable and was willing to talk through my concerns and needs to develop an optimal treatment plan. He helped me evaluate a variety of options and decide on a protocol I was comfortable with. I am happy I found him! David Cohen2024-12-01 My experience with Dr. Kopelman has been nothing short of incredible. From the moment I stepped into his office, I could tell I was in the hands of a true expert. I came to him for both an eyebrow hair transplant and an FUE hair transplant, and I am very happy with the results. My eyebrows look so natural, and the precision and artistry he brought to my FUE procedure completely transformed my hairline. What really stood out was how comfortable and confident he made me feel throughout the process—he explained everything in detail and answered all my questions with such patience and care. I actually discovered him on YouTube, where his videos about hair loss and transplants are so informative, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve never felt more confident in my appearance, and it’s all thanks to Dr. Kopelman’s expertise and attention to detail. If you’re looking for the best hair surgeon in NYC, he’s the one to trust. Yedidyah Leo Samuels2024-11-25 Dr. Ross is incredible! So much knowledge and expertise in the field. Best hair surgeon in New York City!! Juan Fraustro2024-11-22 I paid for a consultation with one Dr. Kopelman and I actually got both Dr’s Kopelmam. They spent over an hour with me carefully studying my scalp, explaining my options, and providing the necessary prescriptions. I cannot recommend this practice or these doctors more highly. Odellya Sohnis2024-11-19 Ross is a top hair transplant surgeon in NYC. He was so kind when I came in. I wanted to understand why my hair was thinning after using a shampoo a dermatologist had sent my way to stop my bad dandruff problem. He was so patient through my 10 million questions, I felt he really cared about what I need instead of feeding into a consumerist magic pill. He also was able to find that I could be balding and give me tips and a prescription and I felt like he saved me from tripping over a ledge I didn't see. Thank you so much! K Salalah2024-11-01 I've been to many hair specialists, and I can confidently say that Dr. Kopelman and his team stand out for their incredible care and attention. The hair industry is unfortunately filled with people who are simply looking to make a sale, and think little about your longterm goals or happiness. I'm fortunate to have found Dr. Kopelman, who is incredibly attentive, knowledgable, puts my goals and comfort first, and is willing to think outside the box. Six stars! Andres Delgado2024-10-24 I had a consultation with Dr. Joel Kopelman. It was worth my time and money. The doctor answered all my questions and provided valuable insights.
