Hair loss can begin subtly and progress over time, affecting confidence long before you may feel ready for invasive intervention. Dr. Terry Restivo offers non-surgical hair restoration options grounded in medical insight, discretion, and realistic guidance.
Non-Surgical Hair Restoration Options Offered

Medical Therapy / Prescription Medications
Prescription-based hair loss treatments may help slow shedding, support follicle function, and preserve existing hair. These therapies are often used for early intervention or long-term management and are guided by medical evaluation rather than trends or generalized protocols.

Over the Counter Topicals
Topical treatments can play a supportive role in hair loss treatment in Hawaii for some patients. When appropriate, Dr. Restivo helps patients understand which formulations may be beneficial, how to use them correctly, and what level of improvement is realistic over time.

Is Non-Surgical Hair Restoration Right for You?
Non-surgical hair restoration may be appropriate for patients experiencing early thinning, increased shedding, or gradual changes in density who want to take a proactive, medically guided approach.
Candidacy depends on the pattern and cause of hair loss, overall health, and expectations. During the consultation, Dr. Restivo helps clarify whether medical therapy, topical treatment, or simple monitoring best aligns with your goals. There is no obligation to proceed, and recommendations are collaborative and paced.
