What Is The Best Hair Loss Treatment?
Anyone who experiences hair loss and wants to stimulate
regrowth is faced with a dizzying array of products, all claiming to be the
best hair loss treatment available. But how
can they all be the best? And which treatments really work? According to the
FDA, the only effective options are to
stop hair loss with Propecia or Rogaine. These two medications, when
used properly, are approved for preventing baldness.
Let’s start by discussing Propecia. This is the brand name for a
prescription-only oral medication called finasteride. It is commonly used to
treat male pattern baldness by
stopping hair loss and stimulating regrowth over time. It is thought by many
doctors to be the best treatment to stop balding in men, but it absolutely
cannot be used or even handled by women. This is because Propecia can cause
serious birth defects if ingested or handled by women who are or may become
pregnant.
The other FDA approved treatment for stopping the loss of hair is Rogaine,
the original hair loss
prevention product.
This is the brand name of an over the counter topical medication called minoxidil. It can be used to treat hair
loss in women and men. (Propecia is for men only). It works best when
applied daily to the scalp, where over the course of several months many
users will see at least some level of regrowth.
Rogaine is the better option for some people because it is readily
available, does not require a prescription, and can be used by either men or
women. Women who lose their hair or experience thinning instead of loss
generally respond well to treatment with Rogaine, as do most men. Propecia
is also quite effective for stopping balding in men (some doctors consider
it the best option), regardless of whether they have a receding hairline or
simply some balding at the crown of the head.
Whichever treatment you and your doctor determine is best for your
particular hair loss – Rogaine or Propecia – remember that it must be
continued in order to maintain results. If you stop taking this medication,
any regrowth that has occurred will be lost once again.
