A Hair Treatment Blueprint?

Although there is no cure for balding or thinning hair, there are many hair thinning treatments available. Hair thinning treatments range from shampoos and conditioners, to tropical treatments. While most have not been scientifically proven to work effectively, the FDA has approved many treatments. There are also many individual cases and success stories that show hair thinning treatments to be worth looking into if significant hair loss is experienced. Minoxidil is one of two FDA approved drugs used in hair thinning treatment. This drug goes under the brand name Rogaine in one case, which is known to reduce the appearance of balding, and slow the rate of hair loss, primarily at the head crown. However, it doesn’t help receding hairlines. Rogaine must be used continually after starting its use, or new hair stimulated to grow by the drug will fall out. Loniten is the pill form of minoxidil. It was initially invented to help lower high blood pressure, with a side effect of hair growth. A significant amount of extra hair growth was discovered by eight out of ten regular users of loniten. Loniten does have other side effects, though. Increased heart rate, breathing difficulties, and salt and water retention are some of those effects. Finasteride, the second FDA approved hair treatment drug, appears in Proscar, the brand name for the finasteride solution originally designed to treat prostate. Like Loniten, a side effect was excessive hair growth. Propecia, originally part of Proscar, is only available by prescription, and must also be used continually or else the results will not last. It also can cause serious birth defects if pregnant women take it. The FDA is currently investigating Dutasteride, another prostate drug with a side effect of hair growth. A hair loss treatment program called Extreme hair Therapy offers a variety of hair thinning treatments for men and women who join the club. The program offers a combination of prescription drugs, and shampoos and conditioners.. Extreme Hair Therapy also offers its members a year’s supply of hair thinning treatment. For those on a tight budget, this program may not be the best route, but it does make treatment options readily available.

What kind of treatments are available over-the-counter for thinning hair?

I have found that Rogaine is the most popular choice of over the counter treatment for thinning hair. The only down side to this topical ointment is that you usually have to wait around six months before you can actually see results. Another treatment is called Propecia, which is an orally ingested drug that is supposed to stop hair loss. However, baldness does reappear when both of these medications are stopped.


Does acne rosacea treatment have side effects?

It depends on what treatment is given. Behavioral treatments (e.g. avoiding sun) have no side effects, and antibiotics are sometimes given, which typically have mild side effects such as indigestion. The drug Accutane can cause more severe side effects, including hair loss, severe skin flare-ups, birth defects in pregnant women, and depression.
