Hair loss treatments roundup
-
Sep 12
This is the second part of the hair loss roundup. This time, we will be focusing on the various treatments available for hair loss.
You may attack hair loss through different ways. You may use prescription drugs, commercial products, natural remedies such as herbal medicines and proper nutrition, or through hair restoration surgery.
These are all discussed in the succeeding sections.
Prescription Drugs
Propecia is the first and only FDA-approved pill demonstrated to treat male pattern hair loss on the vertex (top of head) and anterior mid-scalp area (middle front of head) in men only.
Minoxidil is the only anti-baldness drug approved for women. Topical minoxidil (Rogaine) has been shown to stimulate hair growth on the bald spot of the back of the head in men. In women, Rogaine can increase hair growth in the forehead areas.

Non-drug Commercial Products
Though not approved by the FDA, certain studies show that non-drug products also promote hair growth in the same way as those prescribed drugs but without the side effects.
This is a sample of products that have been subjected to testing or at least have had their effectiveness supported by independent feedback.

Tricomin is another hair loss treament that delivers copper to the base of the hair follicle. It is clinically proven to be effective in stopping hair loss and stimulating hair regrowth.
Herbal Hair Loss Remedies
If you prefer the natural approach, myhairlossadvisor.com has a good list of herbal hair loss remedies for internal and external use. The list includes ginkgo biloba, green tea, he shuo, saw palmetto, and aloe vera.
Hair Loss and Nurition
It is sad to note that lifestyle and diet have a significant link to hair loss. News Target has this to say:
We can blame the typical American diet for yet another unfavorable thing: Hair loss. American's high-fat, high-animal protein and high-salt diet damages the kidneys and creates acidic blood, thereby leading to hair loss, according to Paul Pitchford's Healing with Whole Foods and Janet Zand's, Allan N. Spreen's and James B. LaValle's Smart Medicine for Healthier Living.
The typical American diet is also usually low in vitamins. This lifestyle leads to vitamin deficiency, which is another cause of hair loss. And thanks to the globalization of fast food chains and the American diet, we're exporting hair loss overseas.
Servihoo also gives additional insight to this issue.
Surgical Solution
When all else fails and you need a quick fix for your hair loss problem, then hair replacement surgery may work for you. A good hair transplantation surgery can produce long-lasting results that even the most meticulous hairstylist could not detect.
To answer the most common questions concerning hair transplantation, hair transplantation FAQ and hair restoration procedures may provide the much-needed help.
It is good that you need to assess all options before really deciding on which type of treatment is best for you. Always remember that hair loss is not the end of everything. There are proven medications and procedures that help solve the problem. The decision on what hair loss treatment to use is really up to you.
Hope this write up helps.
