Treatments, and where each stands with the FDA

As of September 2026, the FDA has approved 2 drugs for pattern hair loss: oral finasteride and topical minoxidil. A Revive 365 plan can draw on those 2 and on 4 treatments that carry no FDA approval for hair, and you hear which is which before anything starts. For the mechanics of each treatment, see hair restoration in Weston.

  • Finasteride 1 mg: a tablet taken once a day. Its label reads “MEN ONLY” and makes it contraindicated in women “when they are or may potentially be pregnant.” Expect at least 3 months of daily use before judging it, per the label.
  • Topical minoxidil needs no prescription and comes in versions labeled for women and for men. The women’s 5% foam label tells some users to expect at least 6 months of once-a-day use before results appear.
  • Minoxidil tablets for hair are an off-label use. 
  • Peptides, either systemic or applied to the scalp, are compounded by a state-regulated pharmacy. Compounded drugs aren’t FDA-approved.
  • PRF during scalp microneedling: the PRF comes from a blood draw taken at the same appointment and is applied to the scalp while the microneedling is under way. The FDA’s authorization for microneedling devices covers improving the look of 3 things in adults 22 and older: acne scars on the face, wrinkles on the face and scars on the abdomen. The scalp isn’t one of them. The PRF hair studies we reviewed delivered PRF by injection, including a 2026 trial in 46 men that added microneedling to injected PRF. We found no published trial of PRF used only on the scalp’s surface during microneedling. See what those PRF studies measured.
  • Exosomes can be added to a microneedling session if you choose them. The FDA’s 2019 public safety notice on these products, still in place in September 2026, puts their status in 1 sentence: “There are currently no FDA-approved exosome products.” You hear that before you decide, and saying no changes nothing else in the plan. 

Age changes what treatment can do. The AAD’s page on the causes of hair loss says that “with age, most people notice some hair loss because hair growth slows,” and that “at some point, hair follicles stop growing hair.” We treat follicles that still make hair, and the first appointment checks whether yours do. For women, the AAD says female pattern hair loss tends to begin in a woman’s “40s, 50s, or 60s” and “is more common after menopause.” See treatment options for women with thinning hair.

The drive from Coconut Creek, with and without tolls

The clinic is 22 to 27 miles from the 7 Coconut Creek starting points we routed, or 33 to 36 minutes without traffic. The fastest routes all use a toll road, the Sawgrass Expressway or Florida’s Turnpike. Neither accepts cash: tolls go to a SunPass or other transponder, or to the car’s owner through Toll-By-Plate.

Sawgrass routes leave I-75 at Exit 15, Royal Palm Boulevard, and run 1.5 miles north on Weston Road. Turnpike routes follow I-595 west to the ramp for SR 84 West and Weston Road, then turn south. Both end on SW 160th Avenue.

To skip the toll roads, take US 441 south to Broward Boulevard, west to Hiatus Road, then south to I-595 west and the exit for SR 84 West and Weston Road. Stay in I-595’s regular lanes, since its express lanes charge a toll. From City Hall, Wynmoor Village and Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, that route ran 22.3 to 23.3 miles and 41 to 44 minutes, 7 to 10 minutes slower than the toll roads.

Times come from free-flow OpenStreetMap routing we ran on September 30, 2026. Traffic adds time.

What the first appointment covers

Expect an evaluation. By the end, you have either a written plan or the name of a specialist to see instead.

  1. Your medication list goes through the 4 questions above, line by line.
  2. You walk through when the thinning or shedding began and what changed in the months before it.
  3. Your scalp is examined. 
  4. Labs are ordered if your history suggests thyroid disease or an iron shortfall. 
  5. The written plan lists each treatment with its FDA status, and which visits need the drive to Weston.

Where transplant surgery happens for Coconut Creek patients

Outside the city. We found no hair transplant practice with a Coconut Creek street address when we checked on September 30, 2026. Wherever you book, get the operating room’s street address in writing, along with the name and license of the person who harvests the grafts and makes the incisions. Florida’s Board of Medicine ruled on who may do those steps in 2016, and our PRF page covers that ruling. Check each license through Florida’s MQA license lookup, run by the Department of Health, which shows its status and any discipline on file.

Take your medication list to that consultation too. If you go ahead with surgery elsewhere, medication for the hair around the grafts can still be handled here. Our page on how a transplant compares with treatment covers the trade-offs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Revive 365 Wellness have an office in Coconut Creek?

No. Revive 365 Wellness has 1 location: 1310 SW 160 Ave, Weston, FL 33326. From the 7 Coconut Creek starting points we routed, it’s 22 to 27 miles, or 33 to 36 minutes without traffic.

Can I drive there without paying tolls?

Yes. Take US 441 south to Broward Boulevard, west to Hiatus Road, then south to I-595 west, staying out of the tolled express lanes. From City Hall that route ran 22.3 miles and about 41 minutes in our routing, around 8 minutes slower than the Sawgrass.

Can my first appointment be by telehealth?

A video visit can cover your history, your medicine list and what you want from treatment. The scalp exam and any microneedling happen in Weston.

Does Medicare cover hair loss medication?

Not under basic Part D coverage. Federal Medicaid law lists “agents when used for cosmetic purposes or hair growth” among the drugs a program may exclude, and Medicare’s Part D rules leave those drugs out of the definition of a Part D drug, so basic coverage won’t pay for them. A plan with “enhanced alternative coverage” may add excluded prescription drugs as a supplemental benefit, so check your plan’s formulary. A Part D drug also has to be a prescription drug, which leaves over-the-counter minoxidil out either way.

My doctor has me on a daily aspirin. Can I still be treated?

Yes, starting with medication. The FDA lists low-dose aspirin among the blood thinners that can make microneedling unsuitable, and finasteride (for men) and topical minoxidil need no needles. Keep taking the aspirin unless the doctor who prescribed it says otherwise. 

Will finasteride change my PSA results?

Yes. Finasteride lowers PSA: the Propecia label reports a drop of about 50% in older men with an enlarged prostate on the 5 mg dose, and a smaller drop in younger men on the 1 mg hair dose. The label tells doctors to evaluate any confirmed rise from your lowest reading while you take it. Tell whoever orders your PSA test that you’re on finasteride.

Am I too old to treat thinning hair?

Age alone doesn’t rule you out. The men’s minoxidil label sets no upper age limit, though it rules out use for thinning at the front of the scalp, for sudden or patchy loss, and for loss with no known cause. Finasteride’s label notes that its efficacy studies “did not include subjects aged 65 and over,” and your provider weighs that with you. What decides it is your scalp exam and the Medicine Cabinet Check.
