Be sure to give it at least 4 to 6 months before determining whether or not you are experiencing hair regrowth. Spironolactone for hair loss has been used orally to treat baldness in extreme... Both Propecia (finasteride) and Avodart (dutasteride) block type II 5-alpha-reductase enzymes, which when combined with the hormone testosterone, converts to DHT, the hormone responsible for hair loss. Unlike Propecia, Avodart also inhibits type I 5-alpha-reductase enzymes, most likely both increasing the chance at stopping hair loss and the risks of side effects... Zocor is a medication that is used to treat those with high cholesterol by blocking the amount of bad cholesterol or low density libroprotein (LDL) in the body. One of the reported side effects is potential hair loss among many others such as... Beta-sitosterol and saw palmetto are among a multitude of herbal compounds that supposedly block DHT, treat benign prostatic hyperplasis (BPH), and stop hair loss. I am certainly not opposed to using herbal remedies, but the main problem I have with these, is the lack of compelling evidence of efficacy. Virtually no clinical studies exist, and the ones that do are anecdotal. Despite what you may have read, sodium laurel sulfate (SLS) does not cause or facilitate genetic hair loss. If this was true, every man and woman would be bald. This cheap ingredient may not necessarily be helpful to the hair, but it helps turn a shampoo gel into a... There is no rule that says that Rogaine for hair loss has to be used at exactly the same time every day or regular intervals in order for it to be effective. In fact, many balding men and women have used Rogaine only... Scalp Med is a topical hair loss treatment solution that contains FDA approved hair regrowth ingredient minoxidil. The other ingredients in Scalp Med may help promote a healthy scalp and hair but do nothing to regrow hair. There is always a "chance" to stimulate hair regrowth, but there is no guarantee. Despite the claims of late night infomercials that promise the world, they seldom deliver a desirable result. Restoring all of your lost hair with nonsurgical hair loss treatment solutions is... I have purchased an 18 month supply of Rogaine foam hair loss treatment. After starting my daily regime, I noticed that the aerosol canisters have a serious problem. After using it only 5 times, the foam doesn't count out anymore. Instead it drips down in liquid form. At first, I... The active ingredient in Propecia is finasteride, which has been FDA approved to treat baldness. This hair loss treatment works to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase enzymes which attaches to the hormone testosterone creating dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Severe cases of scalp dermatitis can be the cause of a certain type of hair loss known as diffuse alopecia. This condition is typically reversible and hair growth returns to normal with proper treatment of the scalp condition. Because this is not the same as male pattern baldness... Without knowing why the hair in the bald area didn't return, (whether due to surgery, chemotherapy, or alopecia areata) it's difficult to give you specific advice. In many cases however, hair growth will return to normal once chemotherapy treatments have stopped. Hair Transplant surgery might... This sounds like a case of alopecia areata, which is a type of baldness that can affect both men and women characterized by rapid patchy hair loss in various areas of the scalp and sometimes the body. Evidence suggests that alopecia areata is caused by...
You are asking some difficult questions and some that only a physician can address specifically. Let me just say first that physicians who prescribe Avodart (dutasteride) for hair loss typically prescribe a dosage of .5mg daily, which is the same amount used for men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasis (BPH) or an enlarged prostate. Because Avodart blocks both... Is it ok to wash your hair maybe 3 or 4 hours later after applying Rogaine (minoxidil), or are you losing possible beneficial effects? Hair loss treatment options such as Rogaine (minoxidil) are typically more effective on areas with thinning hair than completely bald areas however; it might be worth a try. Though it most likely won't... There are a number of hair loss treatment options available on the market today, but the real question is, which ones really work and deliver what they promise? Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil), two FDA drugs for baldness have the potential to stop hair loss and possibly stimulate hair regrowth... There has been a small clinical study on Vitamin E molecules (tocopherols and tocotrienols) related to hair loss. Evidence suggests that it's possible that tocotrienol molecules in Vitamin E may have...
