What Are The Best Hair Loss Products Available Today?

There Is A Secret That Hair Treatment Companies Don't Want You To Find Out!!

Find Out Why?

Now adays hair loss is a very common problem not only among males but among females too. Hair loss is a source of great anxiety for many, directly affecting their self-confidence and causing feelings of mental and emotional humiliation. With such a high level of anxiety among hair loss sufferers, it is only natural that the hair loss market be filled with a wide selection of effective and not so effective hair loss products.

There are plenty of effective hair loss products and hair regrowth products to choose from, such as natural essential oils, natural herbs, conventional drugs, shampoos, serums, lotions and conditioners.

Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Rogaine are the more popular hair loss drug products available today to stop or prevent hair loss. Finasteride is sold in pharmacies as Propecia, and this hair loss product is recommended only for men. Like Finasteride, Rogaine is available only through drugstores. Rogaine has to be applied twice daily for 3 to 4 months to get any positive results. Minoxidil is a common and effective hair loss treatment method among younger men.

However, continual use of hair loss drug products such as Minoxidil may lead to side effects such as a itchy scalp, or even more serious complications such as low libido if these hair loss treatment products are used over a long period of time.

With these possible side effects linked to hair loss drug products, more and more hair loss sufferers are turning to natural hair loss remedies to prevent or stop hair loss. Dr Proctor, Thymuskin, Viviscal, Hair Genesis, Revivogen, Tricomin, and Nisim products are just some examples of the best hair loss products available on the market.

Dr. Proctor’s Hair Regrowth shampoo is one of the more popular natural hair loss products, as it has no chemical ingredient. Its Regrowth shampoo is widely used by hair loss sufferers due to its easy application, while its Life Extension Shampoo supports healthy hair.

Thymuskin is more effective (95%) in female than male (67%) for treating hair loss. This hair loss shampoo clears the hair follicle of debris, dirt, oil and other waste. It consists of thymus peptides that diffuse deep into the hair follicles to clean them.

Viviscal shampoo helps to maintain healthy hair. Apart from this, the shampoo treats hair loss and hair thinning. Viviscal products are available in all forms including scalp lotion, conditioner and tablets.

Hair Genesis products are also available as conditioners, topical serums, oral supplements, and hair regrowth shampoo. Hair Genesis is especially favoured by women, and it works mainly by stopping the DHT blockers.

Finasteride- It’s Use For Hair Loss

Merck developed this drug in 1992 for the treatment of an enlarged prostate gland. As with Minoxidil, some patient staking Finasteride grew hair on their head. Soon afterwards, it was released as a prescription medication for hair loss treatment.

The main cause of hair loss is DHT (dihydrotestosterone).Finasteride works by stopping the conversion of testosterone to DHT, reducing DHT levels by up to 75%.

The well-known Finasteride product is Propecia. In a study,over 80% of the balding individuals who used it experienced rejuvenated growth, and about 5% commented that their improvement was dramatic.

As well as increasing the number of hairs, Propecia increases the shaft diameter of existing hairs. Most of the improvement, taking Finasteride, will come in the first year of use. Since the main purpose of this drug is to prevent further hair loss, I usually suggest it as a first-line treatment for younger patients, for whom maintaining the hair they have is of prime importance.

The studies mentioned above did show that there are some limited side effects. A very small number (less than 2%) showed erectile dysfunction and decreased libido, although the same complaints were found in about 1% of patients taking placebos. These effects are completely reversible if the drug is discontinued, and over half of patients who continued the drug with these side effects saw them disappear.

Finasteride has been around for over 14 years, and has not shown any long-term side effects.

Women should not use Finasteride. The drug acts on testosterone and will not have any effect on women, even in women with high testosterone levels. It has also been shown to cause defects in the sexual organs of male infants, so it is advised that pregnant females not take, or even handle, this drug. If the male is taking Finasteride, Merck feels confident that the trace amounts found in the semen do not put the fetus at risk. I sometimes hear this concern from patients, and suggest they use condoms during the pregnancy to completely eliminate the risk of Finasteride entering the woman’s bloodstream.
