What are the best hair loss treatments? 

The best treatment options for hair loss depend on the underlying cause of the problem. There are various causes of hair loss, including genetics (male or female pattern baldness), hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, and other factors. 

Once you fully identify the cause of your hair loss, you will then be better placed to find the right treatment that works best for you, individually.  Here, we look at some common treatment options for different types of hair loss.

Best Hair Loss Treatment Options 

Minoxidil (Rogaine)

Minoxidil is an over-the-counter topical medication that can help promote hair growth in both men and women. It is typically applied directly to the scalp and is available in various forms, such as foam and liquid.

Finasteride (Propecia)

Finasteride is a prescription medication for men with male pattern baldness. It works by inhibiting the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a key factor in hair loss. Women should not use finasteride, especially if pregnant, as it can cause birth defects.

Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are harvested from one area of the body (usually the back of the scalp) and transplanted to areas with thinning or no hair. This method is effective for those with male or female pattern baldness.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

LLLT devices, such as laser combs or caps, use low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes to stimulate hair follicles and encourage hair growth.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the PRP into the scalp. This can stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.

Prescription Medications

In some cases, prescription medications other than finasteride may be recommended by a healthcare professional. These can include anti-androgen drugs or medications for underlying medical conditions contributing to hair loss. Take with caution, though, as medications can cause long-term negative side-effects. 

Topical Steroids

Topical corticosteroids may be prescribed for conditions like alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder causing hair loss.

Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) 

Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF), also known as fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF-7), is a protein that plays a crucial role in the growth and development of various tissues, including the skin and hair follicles. It is produced by fibroblasts, which are cells that support the structure of connective tissues. The most common use of KGF is by topical serum. 

Hair Supplementation

HR23+® is the leading non-prescription hair loss treatment, designed to prevent excessive hair shedding, and support the function of healthy hair growth in men and women suffering from early stages of baldness and thinning hair.

It's worth consulting with a healthcare professional or dermatologist to determine the underlying cause of your hair loss and to discuss the most appropriate treatment options for your specific situation. Treatment effectiveness can vary from person to person, and it may take time to see results, so patience is key when addressing hair loss.

Can Saw Palmetto Stop Hair Loss?

Saw Palmetto and its connection with Blocking DHT Saw palmetto is a plant with small berries that has been used by Native Americans as medicine and food for hundreds of years. There is evidence that this herbal remedy may treat an enlarged prostate. It also has been used to treat hair loss, bladder infections, prostate cancer, and decreased sexual drive. Research on the effectiveness of saw palmetto in treating hair loss is promising. An extract of saw palmetto berries may block 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT.  DHT is the molecule responsible for hair loss, and also is involved in the enlargement of the prostate. The components of saw palmetto that block the enzyme work in a similar way as the synthetic ingredients in prescription medication for hair loss. A study was taken for men with moderate cases of male pattern baldness where they were given a saw palmetto oral supplement to take twice daily for a few months. When asked to rate their ...
