New Hair Loss Treatments, Studies, Products & Research

Hair loss studies on Propecia have shown that in about 12 to 18 months men had shown that 66% of the men saw signs of new hair growth. There are no signs that the drug promotes hair growth in the area of the forehead or the temporal parts of the head. It only shows signs of working on the top back of the head as well as the mid scalp area. The study also found that this drug has to be taken for the rest of your life or until you know longer wish to promote new hair growth.

A study done in Britain reported that Crinagen which is zinc, azelaic acid just 5%, grape seed extract and B6, has been seen to reduce dihydrotestosterone by acting as an inhibitor by 90%. Now more studies are required, but by reducing the dihydrotestosterone levels helps prevent hair loss.

All the hair treatment drugs need to continuous use for life if you want to promote hair growth and keep the hair growth you have already. There have been no long-term use studies done with any of the drugs or treatment plans. This is so new that the long-term effects will take some time to be observed.

The FDA approved drugs are approved for doing exactly what they are suppose to do with some listing of side effects. This is important information when it comes to your health. Just because the treatment has approvable does not mean there are no long-term use hazards.

The other side to hair treatments is hair transplants. These procedures are costly and done by doctors that specialize in this type of treatment. The hair on the sides and back of the head are normally the permanent hair in everyone. This means you normally do not lose this hair. What they do is use this hair as transplants to the thinning or balding areas of the scalp.

The procedure as been successful for many people and has had excellent results. The hair for transplants will grow back which is why they take the hair from areas in the back. The hair now placed in the areas of hair loss and you have hair again. The graphs can take a very long time, but they have many professionals to make sure your hair transplant has a successful ending. It takes about six hours to do an about 1500 grafts.

More research on some products as far as their ability to promote hair growth and the long-term effects. There are more and more companies promoting their products as being the only product that works, but the same time you need to realize that the FDA has the final say and even then it doesn’t guaranty the product will work for you.

Before you decide to use products that claim to promote hair re-growth, you need to make sure that there are studies done on these products and that the results have been made public. The ingredients need to a check to make sure they do really have an active part in hair growth. Scientific information is more reliable than medical information.

If the scientific approval is not available then this drug may not have had enough studies and research done to base an opinion on. This could be a cause for concern. The hair growth products need approval both scientifically and medically. These two need to work hand in hand with each other.

Products sold online and not available for review before buying may have you considering an alternative treatment.  If a drug or product is not sold in a local store, you may have some concern to the credibility of the product. Quality products that you buy in stores for the most part received testing before distribution. This is where research on the consumer’s part comes into play.

Research that has been done, points out that any product that states you will see results in a few weeks are claiming a false statement. Hair re-growth takes a long time months and months. The results are slow and cannot be seen in a short amount of time. Taking a product such as Rogaine or Propecia will be a slow process and hair transplants are costly but can take less time for result to show.
