About Our Hair Recovery Treatment
What We Prepare
Hair loss has many causes, including post-viral shedding, hormonal changes and nutritional deficiencies such as low iron stores. Your prescriber identifies the cause and decides whether a compounded preparation is appropriate, and which actives and strengths to order.
How and how often to apply a compounded preparation is directed by your prescriber and printed on your medication label.
If you are not sure what is behind your shedding, our page on low ferritin and hair loss is a good place to start, and our suggested labs page has a list you can bring to your prescriber.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Common Questions
What is telogen effluvium?
A common type of hair shedding in which more hairs than usual move into their resting phase at the same time, often some time after a stressful event such as an illness, surgery, childbirth or a big change in routine. The shedding is usually spread evenly across the scalp rather than in patches.
Can hair grow back after shedding or thinning?
Often, yes, depending on the cause. Shedding linked to stress, illness, hormonal changes or nutritional gaps such as low iron stores is often temporary. Your prescriber can help work out what is behind yours and the right plan for you.
How do I find out what is causing my hair loss?
Your prescriber can look at the pattern of shedding, your recent health history and, often, blood work such as iron stores, thyroid function and vitamin D. Our suggested labs page has a list you can bring to your appointment.
What can ProCompounding prepare for hair loss?
We compound topical solutions and oral preparations to your prescriber's order, in the actives, strength and base they specify, including several actives combined in one solution.
Do I need a prescription?
For a compounded hair loss preparation, yes. Your prescriber writes the prescription and we prepare it. If your prescriber has not written a compounded prescription before, our pharmacists are glad to talk with them about the actives and forms available.
Can you ship to my state?
We are licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and we ship from our pharmacy in Johnson City, Tennessee. We have a 48-hour compounding time on most preparations; shipping time is additional.
