subject: Doctor Reviewed Best Hair Loss Treatments [print this page] No matter how long you have been losing your hair and to what extent it has affected you, there is a good chance that you would really like to find a hair loss treatment that can actually help you regrow your hair. There is also a good chance you know it's not easy to find such products sometimes.
As a doctor, I talk to and hear from lots of friends and patients who want to find a hair loss product that will work effectively for them. Lucky for them, I have looked into most of the leading current treatments on the market and I've evaluated their rate of success based on consumer reviews and even by keeping track of my own patients' rates of success. Most hair loss products that do not contain any FDA approved ingredients are also not likely to have a very good rate of success. They tend to be mostly hype and not have actual facts, testing, or science behind them. So, it's best to stick to products that do have FDA approved ingredients.
The ingredient in most hair loss products that make them so successful is minoxidil. It's the main active ingredient of Rogaine. However, since the time that Rogaine was first put on the market, lots of other effective hair loss treatment supplements have been found to help increase the effectiveness of minoxidil products like Rogaine. These additional ingredients significantly increase the rate of success of any product that contains minoxidil.
Almost all of the most effective hair loss products also have an oral portion to go along with the topical solution. Although a topical solution can work very effectively by itself to stop hair loss and even regrow hair, if you combine a topical solution with an oral supplement that has the right active ingredients, you chance of success will be significantly higher. Some of the most effective oral supplements contain zinc, Saw Palmetto, uva-ursi extract, and other know DHT blockers. Over time those supplements have proven that they can reduce the effects of DHT, which is the largest and most significant cause of hair loss.
The bottom line is that there are only a handful of products on the market right now that contain all the ingredients I am talking about, and almost all of the ingredients that do not fall far short of people's expectations and rarely work as you might hope. Lucky for you, if you look around for reviews online, you are likely to be led in the right direction and you will most likely end up buying a product that will actually work. Some products that I do know work are ProRestora, and Scalp Med. Feel free to do your own research on those products and see what you find!
