Trump's Go-To Hair Loss Drug Unveiled by Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Gary Linkov, a New York City plastic surgeon, recommends finasteride as a primary treatment for male pattern hair loss, a drug reportedly used by Donald Trump. Originally for enlarged prostate treatment, finasteride prevents testosterone from converting into DHT, a compound causing hair loss. While effective in slowing hair loss, it may have side effects like decreased libido. Dr. Linkov also prescribes minoxidil to thicken hair. Despite its benefits, finasteride cannot restore lost hair but can delay further loss, especially in young adults.
