Medical Hair Restoration for Hair Loss
Medical hair restoration is usually a preventative method to slow down or stop further hair loss and could be used with or without hair transplant surgery. When you talk to friends and family about hair loss treatments, you will find a lot of do-it-yourself hair loss methods or products such as creams, ointments, lotions, nutrition supplements, scalp products and other herbal treatments, all promising to stop hair loss and re-grow hair.
Among all the options for nonsurgical treatment of hair loss for men and women (pattern baldness), you will find only two that have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and are recommended by physician hair restoration specialists. Hair loss products not approved by the FDA are often a waste of money and can even be harmful to your hair and scalp.
The two medications that have been FDA approved are finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine). The other products that are considered effective as hair loss treatment may have one or both of these medications or similar chemicals as ingredients.
Other options that cannot be medically recommendable are a variety of techniques such as laser treatment with low level laser or herbal products. For many of these products we simply do not have enough evidence based information. You need to talk to your doctor about all options before committing to try them. US Hair restoration combines medical treatment of hair loss with surgical options or hair transplant to create a master plan for obtaining the best final results.
