What Medi Tresse does

Medi Tresse is a privately held, physician-led medical practice founded in 2015 by Dr. Mary Wendel in Wellesley, Massachusetts, specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of female hair loss. The practice operates under a dual-brand model: Medi Tresse serves women and Northeast Hair Restoration serves men, both housed under unified clinical leadership that includes Co-Founder Dr. Mark Distefano, Medical Director Dr. Kathleen Joyce, and Chief of Surgery Dr. Thomas Brand. The clinical approach is diagnostic-first — every patient journey begins with comprehensive lab work, trichoscopy, and medical evaluation to identify the underlying cause of hair loss before treatment selection. The practice addresses a broad set of conditions including androgenic alopecia, telogen effluvium, scarring alopecia, alopecia areata, postpartum, menopause-related, PCOS-related, thyroid-related, post-cancer, and vitamin-deficiency-related hair loss.

The treatment portfolio spans surgical and non-surgical modalities. Surgical offerings include Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), No-Shave FUE (a technique in which Dr. Distefano was the first in New England), beard transplants, and eyebrow transplants. Non-surgical offerings include Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, a proprietary Optimal Platelet Concentration (OPC) therapy, a Painless PRP protocol delivered via hydroporation (needleless mist-jet technology), Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) via LaserCap devices, medical prescriptions including compounded minoxidil, spironolactone, and finasteride, and a proprietary supplement line branded as Tresse (Prebiotic, Revitalizer, Fortifier). The practice operates six clinical locations across Massachusetts (Wellesley, Worcester, Westford, Somerville) and New York (New York City, Scarsdale/Westchester), supported by an in-house e-commerce storefront for direct-to-consumer product sales.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time and recurring streams. Surgical procedures are one-time purchases; PRP/OPC therapies are sold as treatment series with maintenance boosters every six months; compounded topicals, supplements, and prescriptions generate recurring revenue; LaserCap devices are hardware sales with optional in-office recurring sessions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with financing available to patients. Customer acquisition relies on educational content marketing (blog, Instagram, YouTube, online quizzes) combined with phone and in-person consultations, a sales-led motion rather than digital self-serve. The patient base is entirely individual consumers; there are no enterprise contracts or institutional customers.
