Hair Loss Treatment Review For Men & Women

Ever since men and women started losing hair, there have been
’remedies’ to stop or reverse the process, and many a con-artist
or trickster happy to make a quick buck through the misery and
misfortune of others. I can imagine one of our distant ancestors
buying a toupee fashioned out of twigs only to be ridiculed by
the rest of the tribe.

Indeed potential cures have ranged from Wiccan magic spells to
getting various animals, commonly cows in India to lick the
scalp of a balding man. An eighth century Chinese remedy which
involves catching a green grass snake and pounding it to death
in a bag of silk and then boiling the remains and rubbing them
into your scalp and the Native Americans had a similar remedy,
replacing the snakes with scorpions, nettles and the urine from
a pregnant woman!

On a more serious note, bearing in mind all causes of hair loss
as discussed in my other articles, there are only two types of
treatments are going to work, those which address the hormonal
sensitivity, or treatments that stimulate growth despite it. And
as it happens there are only two drug treatments approved by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for male baldness:
Minoxidil and Finasteride. And we will begin by looking at
Minoxidil today.

Minoxidil (more commonly known by its trade names Rogaine and
Regaine) is a vasodilator medication which was first used
exclusively as an oral drug to treat high blood pressure.
However those using it will noticed an interesting side effect,
namely increased growth and darkening of fine body hairs.

Seeing the potential of this Upjohn Corporation produced a
topical solution that contained 2% minoxidil to be used to treat
baldness and hair loss, under the brand name Rogaine in the
United States and Canada, and Regaine in Europe and the
Asia-Pacific. Treatments are available in 5% concentration
solution for men and 2% concentration solutions for women.

How Minoxidil works is still not fully understood but studies
have shown it is effective in preventing hair loss and may help
attain some regrowth. One particular study in healthy males aged
18–50 years with male pattern baldness found that compared to a
baseline of 103 to 106 hairs/cm2, those who applied of a 5%
solution of minoxidil for 32 weeks increased their hair counts
by an average of 39 hairs/cm2, in contrast to 5 hairs/cm2 in
subjects who received a placebo.

It should be noted that Minoxidil has shown to be more
effective in younger men (18 to 41 years of age) and has shown
to work only in the central vertex are, so will not help those
with a receding hairline.

As with most medicines some side affects should normally be
expected however Minoxidil fares pretty well in this department.

The most common side effect of topical (i.e. external use) is
in fact an itchy scalp, dandruff and hair loss. Yes you did read
that correctly, hair loss is a common side effect of minoxidil
treatment, however manufacturers and users say this is part of
the shedding and regrowing effect. However there is no guarantee
that the new hair loss will be replaced with hair growth.
Regardless Minoxidil remains one of the most widely used
treatment of balding in the world today. It is my personal
recommendation for slowing down the balding process before you
consider hair transplant.

What Is The Best Hair Loss Treatment?

by Rosemary Braithwaite


There are many hair loss treatments and as you've probably heard before most of them don't work. It's the usual scenario out of the hundreds that are available at any one time only a few really have stood the test of time and seem to do what they are designed to do.

The main reason for this bad press as it were is that most people who are experiencing alopecia (baldness) in whatever form don't seem to realize two things. The first is that they need to potentially look at underlying causes i.e if you are in your 40's and are in the menopause and you've noticed your hair thinning it might just be that you need some HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Maybe you have gone down that route and didn't like the side effects. If that is the case then you would be probably prefer a 'natural' herbal based remedy.

The main point I'm making here is to try and recognize what may be contributing to your hair loss before you go out and buy any expensive medications. You may even be better off seeking professional medical advice in case the hair thinning is representative of an underlying problem.

This is the reason why so many perfectly good hair treatments don't work. If you know what is contributing to the condition then it is much easier to find a solution isn't it?

So what treatment is best for me then?

Well having completed the first step - examining potential causes and having found that it's not menopausal, not from pulling your hair out and that it is hormonal and/or genetic there are some well respected products available. These include Procerin, Propecia and Provillus.

Procerin is an all natural treatment and is one of those that's best for women with mild hair thinning - it's not as potent for men but has been known to work where the alopecia is just starting. they always say prevention is better than cure!

Propecia is a drug. It's FDA approved but it is very very strong and it is not recommended for women especially expectant mothers but it will go a long way to being a good treatment for male pattern baldness but be warned it can have side effects.

Provillus is a combination of natural ingredients and FDA approved drugs especially Minoxidil. The good thing about this one is that the manufacturers have made a male and female strength variety and it seems to provide a very good balance and therefore should be considered. The only negative is that Provillus isn't sold in shops!
