The most popular FDA approved treatment for hair loss and thinning hair is Minoxidil. It is applied twice daily externally to the scalp and has been medically proven to regrow lost hair in some cases. Minoxidil is most likely to be effective in the crown area of the scalp with less promising results shown in the frontal hairline area. Once starting treatment, any new hair growth or ceasation of hairloss resulting from the use of Minoxidil will need the continued application of Minoxidil on a regular basis. Minoxidil is produced under the names Rogaine® and Regaine®.
Propecia (Finasteride) is quickly becoming the number one choice for arresting hairloss and reversing male patern baldness.
Propecia has in clinical trials stopped hairloss in up to 80% of cases with regrowth seen in 64%.
Propecia works by inhibiting 5 alpha-reductase, the enzyme which produces Dihydrotestostrone (DHT) which is scientificaly and medically known to be the cause of male patern baldness. By reducing DHT production, Propecia can prevent and even reverse hairloss.
Propecia, however, may have side effects and cannot be used by women.
