<title><![CDATA[Abruptly Stopping Rogaine Hair Loss Treatment]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[It's unlikely that your thinning hairs have become minoxidil-dependent after only 4 days of use. The initial shedding period normally occurs within the first few weeks of treatment, so it's possible you may not experience any temporary hair loss. Even in long-term users, it can take up to several months to lose the hair that was regrown or maintained by regularly applying Rogaine...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Why Hair Shedding on Rogaine Hair Loss Treatment is a Positive Sign]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Minoxidil-induced hair shedding is usually an early indication that you're responding well to treatment; it essentially stimulates a new hair growth cycle. Reversal of miniaturization occurs when weaker follicles are pushed out to make room for stronger, healthier hairs...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Chlorine Exposure: Does it Cause Hair Loss? ]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Chlorination of the public's water supply is pretty common in many places. Constant chlorine exposure could lead to dry, brittle hair; however, this will not cause permanent hair loss. If you're still concerned, you could always try to neutralize it by attaching a shower filter. Honestly, with your genetic background, it sounds like you may be experiencing the onset of male pattern baldness...

<description><![CDATA[Toppik and Nanogen are topical concealers composed of microfibers (organic keratin protein) that coat your existing hair upon application, making it appear more dense. These types of products should not be confused with medical treatments for hair loss; concealers are essentially hair "make up"...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[5mg of Finasteride (Propecia) Verses 1mg for Hair Loss]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[No clinical evidence exists to support that taking 5mg of finasteride daily will increase your chances of success. So far, you've been taking approximately 1mg of finasteride daily for 6 months. It's recommended to take Propecia for at least a year before evaluating its effectiveness. In my opinion, unless you're experiencing side effects, consider...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Causes of Gradual Female Hair Loss and Bald Spots on the Scalp]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Gradual hair loss may be a sign of genetic female balding (androgenic alopecia) or possibly telogen effluvium. While androgenic alopecia is hereditary, telogen effluvium is usually caused by a "stressor" and often is only as permanent as the stressor itself. This could include a medical condition, a deficiency, certain medication, a scalp infection, hormonal fluctuations, or even traumatic stress. The bald patches...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Whether or not laser therapy is an effective hair loss treatment has been heavily debated on our hair loss disussion forum. There are some hair restoration physicians who would say that laser therapy is as effective as proven topical treatments such as Rogaine 2% while others believe that it won't provide any real benefit. After speaking with several leading hair restoration physicians who...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Which Hair Restoration Doctors are Providing Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatments?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[While we're interested in viewing clinical studies and reading about people's experiences with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) in treating hair loss, it's still not considered proven. Thus, creating a list of doctors who provide PRP would be like putting a list of physicians together that offer saw palmetto tablets. Saw palmetto too may have some scientific backing in treating baldness, but it's clinically unproven. The same goes for PRP...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[If Working Out Increases Testosterone, Does it Accelerate Hair Loss?]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Working out does indeed temporarily increase testosterone, but probably not long enough to produce an increased amount of DHT. Remember that DHT is produced from a combination of testosterone and 5-alpha-reductase enzymes. While genetics ultimately cause male pattern baldness, DHT is responsible for carrying out the demolition work...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Treatment Options for Women with Hair Loss]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[I can only imagine how difficult it is for a young woman in her early 20s to suffer from androgenic alopecia (genetic hair loss). While balding can be emotionally devastating for men as well, I think women typically suffer more as a whole due to the pressure to appear outwardly beautiful by society’s standards. Women are more limited than men in terms of non-surgical hair loss treatments that really work. In my opinion, you may want to try...]]></description>

For starters, you may want to consider new hairstyles that will help camouflage your recession. More importantly, learn to ignore the idiots who make jokes at your expense in order to feel better about themselves...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Missing a couple of days of Propecia (finasteride) in a row probably won't be critical to your hair loss treatment regimen. However, because the half-life of finasteride is short (4 to 5 hours), it's recommended to take it daily. Some hair restoration physicians will recommend taking finasteride every other day to some patients due to...]]></description>

Thus, it sometimes appears that after 5 years Propecia loses its effectiveness. That said, the rate of loss would probably be far greater in these men if they didn't take finasteride...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, genetic baldness is not age discriminatory. While you may be the first in your family to experience hair loss at such a young age, this is not uncommon.  The good news is, while it's a little thin, you still have a nice head of hair. Thus, I would not consider you a hair transplant candidate at this time. However, a combination of Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) might just do the trick to...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Despite some rumors and false claims made on the internet, every day stress doesn’t cause hair loss. Slight hairline recession can occur naturally in men as they get older. It could also be a sign of male pattern baldness, a progressive type of hair loss brought on by genetics and carried out by the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone). 
No cure exists, but Propecia...]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Dangers of Using Propecia for Hair Loss at 15 - And Alternative Treatments]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[Though certain exceptions can be made, as a general rule, I think Propecia (finasteride) should be reserved for young men 18 years of age or older. Propecia works to block male hormones (DHT), and doing so at a young age may be harmful. In the meantime, you may want to try proven hair growth stimulators such as Rogaine foam. Out of all the Rogaine products, the foam has the greatest success rate. You could also consider talking to your physician about...]]></description>
