subject: Hair Loss Treatment Options [print this page] A healthy head of hair can go a long way toward making a good first impression. Unfortunately, millions of men and women suffer from thinning hair as they age. There are many causes of hair loss. These include, but are not limited to, environmental factors and genetics. But thinning hair doesn't have to be a source of anxiety. There are many options that can help slow the thinning of your hair. In some cases, treatments may even help regrow hair.
Hair loss treatment options range from pills and creams to shampoos, sprays and more sophisticated laser technologies. There are pros and cons to each method. When selecting a treatment option, you'll want to consider your own personal needs in conjunction with the abilities of each specific product.
Pills, such as Propecia, often require a prescription, which can be costly. They may also have harmful side effects. Prescription pills may, however, prove to be effective at combating thinning hair. Topical treatments such as creams like Rogaine, shampoos such as Revita and sprays like DermMatch can be messy and expensive, because you have to purchase and use them continually. The effectiveness of topical hair loss treatment options can also be hit or miss.
Laser technologies, such as the HairMax Laser Comb system, are a less expensive option in the long run, because they represent a one-time cost. They are also less messy, because they operate using low-level laser lights. Laser treatment options are also the most effective at stimulating regrowth, because they act on your follicles at the cellular level.
As with any product designed to help improve your appearance, you should research your product options based on your specific needs and choose the right one for you. The variety of options to combat thinning hair, however, means a healthy head of hair can be yours once again.
