Benefits

What Minoxidil (topical) can do for you.

  • FDA-approved + OTC

    Decades of clinical use; 5% strength is the standard for men.

  • Combines with finasteride

    Different mechanism from finasteride — combination produces compounding effect on serious hair loss.

  • Localized action

    Topical application minimizes systemic exposure compared to oral options.

How it works

From consult to follow-up.

  1. Initial consultation

    A board-certified physician reviews your symptoms, history, and goals. At many participating clinics the first visit is complimentary.

  2. Baseline labs

    Bloodwork tailored to the protocol. Results come back in days, not weeks. We don't prescribe before we have your numbers.

  3. Personalized protocol

    Your physician calibrates your dose based on your labs and your goals — not a template. Adjustments happen as your data evolves.

  4. Ongoing follow-up

    Recheck visits at six and twelve weeks, then quarterly. Real follow-up, structured into the plan.

Duration
~30 seconds — twice-daily application
Results timeline
Shedding common in weeks 2–8; visible regrowth or stabilization typically by 4–6 months

Designed around your schedule

  • Consults are short

    Initial visits are typically 45–60 minutes. Many participating clinics waive the fee for new patients.

  • Telehealth follow-ups

    Where state regulations allow, follow-up visits are conducted via telehealth — no extra drive time.

  • Medication shipped

    Prescriptions ship directly from a 503B-licensed pharmacy. No standing in line.

  • Quarterly check-ins

    Structured follow-up at six and twelve weeks, then quarterly. Real medicine, not a one-and-done.

    Honestly impressed by how methodical Dr. Leo Urbinelli, MD is. Started conservative, monitored, adjusted. That's how this should be done.

    A friend recommended Upsize Syracuse after I'd been struggling with low energy for two years. I finally have an actual diagnosis backed by labs, not just guesses. Game-changing.

    Nausea the first two weeks but it passed. Down 24 lb after five months. Worth every dollar.

    Booking was easy. Office is nice. The provider was thorough during the initial intake. Only knock is that appointments can run a little behind, but the care quality more than makes up for it.

    Knowledgeable, patient with questions, doesn't push you into the most expensive option. Brandon Crandall, NP earned a long-term patient out of me.
