Hair Loss Medication - Minoxidil

As we all know by now, there is no single cure-all product for hair loss. The innovative way of treating hair loss is to use combination of medication, topical lotions and laser therapy to achieve the best hair restoration results in the shortest amount of time.

We have had a number of people ask about the medication used in hair regrowth, so thought we would dedicate a post to the subject of one of the main hair loss medications that are used. Please remember, as with any drug, please seek the advice of your doctor before using.

Minoxidil

Originally Minoxidil was developed to treat high blood pressure, and it was noticed that it also caused hair to regrow. Since those early days, Minoxidil has become the first drug to be approved by the American FDA for the purpose of treating androgenetic alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness / Female Pattern Baldness).

How does Minoxidil work?

Minoxidil stimulates hair growth in men and women experiencing pattern baldness. However the full breakdown of how it works exactly is not completely documented.

Is Topical Minoxidil safe?

Topical Minoxidil has a very good safety record. The most common side effects that people experience are itching and skin irritation of the treated scalp.

Who would be a good candidate for Minoxidil?

The perfect candidates for Minoxidil use are younger men who have recently stared to notice balding in the vertex/ crown area of the scalp. As with any condition, the sooner you notice it and begin treatment, the better your chances of success.

Can hair care products (hair sprays, gels, hair dyes, etc.) be used while using Minoxidil ?

There is no evidence that the vast majority of hair care products interfere with the effectiveness of Minoxidil. Once again, make sure you speak to your doctor before using Minoxidil, and if you have any hair care products that you use regularly, mention them to your doctor to be on the safe side.

Can both men and women use Minoxidil?

Hair loss in men and hair loss in women can be treated with minoidil as part of their hair regrowth plan. Whilst there has been numerous studies showing Minoxidil causes clinically significant hair growth in both men and women, it is essential that you discuss your hair regrowth options with a doctor who specialises in this area.

If you want to learn more about Minoxidil and hair loss in general, speak to one of the friendly team at Innovative Hair Loss Solutions in Perth, who will be more than happy to discuss the most appropriate hair regrowth treatment for you. Your initial consultation is both cost and obligation free. Call IHLS today on 1300 557 224

Natural Hair Loss Remedies

Apparently garlic cloves and the humble onion may be used topically as a natural hair loss treatment. We have not come across this idea before and thought that we would investigate the claims.

Hair loss remedies can be natural and made with plant extracts, herbs and vitamins, etc. With that being the case, garlic and onions would be recognised as being natural ingredients.

People look for natural solutions to because they want to skip out the potential side effects from chemicals and drugs that are available through mainstream medicines. It is also said that Onions and garlic may also help to cover up hair loss (male pattern baldness), by giving the remaining hair a much better look. We decided to look at these claims more closely…

Can onions and garlic help reduce and prevent hair loss?

One way in which the garlic and onion hair loss remedies may work, is by providing food topically to the hair follicles, especially if the nourishment of the hair follicles is being blocked by DHT. There are other food sources which can do the same thing, and if you look for homeopathy and similar websites through Google you will find a variety of sites dedicated to curing hair loss and skin ailments by making lotions with natural products.

Other ways that the onion and garlic topical remedies may help to cure hair loss, is by destroying germs and parasites that may be infecting the scalp area. Also, some fungal infections may respond to garlic and onions being applied directly to them and that may help remedy some types of hair loss – or so it is claimed. To be honest, these claims may be true to some extent. But the humble onion and garlic clove should not be held in too high a regard as they can only do so much.

Reduce hair fall by being kind to your hair

At the end of the day, if you are looking after your hair and scalp properly with proper shampoos and scalp conditioners, and not mistreating your hair with chemical based dyes and heat treatments, then your hair will probably stay in a fairly healthy state.

There are medical and genetic reasons behind most hair loss cases, and a hair loss treatment company like Innovative Hair Loss Solutions will be able to give you advice on what action you should take to regrow your hair.

Women's Hair Loss Is Treatable With Lasers

One of the most common questions we are asked is, canwomen use hair loss laser therapy for their hair loss?
Yes, they can and one of the many benefits received is thicker hair as well. Thicker hair is one of the most common reported benefits of laser hair therapy

What is Low Level Laser Therapy for Hair Loss?

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is a non-surgical laser treatment that uses non-thermal light photons to stimulate blood flow in the scalp. The type of laser used is different from the common misperceptions of lasers - Low Level Laser (also known as cold lasers) do not heat or burn the skin. These lasers will not cut you in half or burn a hole in your head, contrary to what Hollywood action film-makers would have you believe

What Types of Laser Treatment Are Available?

If laser hair therapy is administered in a hair loss clinic or studio, you will typically will sit under a dome-shaped machine for a certain amount of time while undergoing laser hair therapy. This treatment is generally twice a week for optimal hair regrowth. There are also laser products which you can buy to use at home.

Are All Lasers Created Equally?

The simple answer to this, unfortunately is a resounding "NO". There are two classes to LLLT laser devices - Class 1 and Class 3 lasers. Whilst hair loss laser products which use class 1 lasers can help to regrow your hair, due to their weak lasers, they will take much longer than if you were using a class 3 laser product. And although the class 3 laser devices are stronger than their class 1 counterparts, they are still perfectly safe for women to use. Before purchasing any LLLT laser product for the purpose of regrowing your hair, please check to make sure you are getting a class 3 device.
