Hair Loss - Will A Topical Hair Loss Treatment Be Enough?

Hair loss is a subject I'm passionate about probably because I fought in the Battle of hair loss for more than ten years, at least to this point believe that their efforts would be successful. In this article I will offer my opinion on whether or not topical hair loss treatment alone will be enough to deliver significant results.

topical treatment comes in many different forms of the most popular to a wide range of hair care products that contain either 2 or 5 percent minoxidil.

Minoxidil was originally approved as an oral medication for blood pressure, but is now primarily used as a topical treatment for androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern balding). Static, it is said to re-grow hair 80 percent of the time, but the truth is that only about 15 percent of the time does not look like the new hair growth. In fact, it has more the look and feel of the peach fuzz. On the other hand, the success rate increases significantly when the goal is to protect the existing hair.

The reason for low success rates when it comes to quality hair regrowth is the way male and female pattern baldness attack scalp.

the driving force behind these two common conditions of androgenic hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which attacks a small pouch-like structure just beneath the scalp called a follicle. Over time, DHT begins to decrease and destroy these tiny pouches that hair re-growth difficult at best and impossible at worst.

Even more worrisome is that the male and female pattern balding is progressive condition that gradually spread turns what could initially be seen as irrelevant to the problem in full blow case of baldness.

If you just use topical hair loss treatment that focus on areas where the most damage was done. These types of products are not designed to be used as a full scalp treatments, and to slow balding around the crown. Also not suggested for the front of the scalp and do not claim that the receding hairline slow.

As we now know by using only a topical treatment for hair loss will probably always be a little behind the curve. For this reason I believe that oral treatment is necessary to protect and nurture the areas that are yet to be impacted.

There are several different ways to go when it comes to oral treatment of hair. Some believe that saw palmetto alone (for men) would do the trick. I do not agree with this belief. On the other hand, when the saw palmetto in combination with biotin, or other hair stimulating ingredients, the results tend to be better.

oral hair regrowth formula that produced the best result for me they are in liquid form to promote healthy blood flow and circulation to hair follicles and scalp, and offsetting other underlying problems (such as thyroid inconsistencies) that could be contributing to hair loss. Some of the ingredients commonly found in these types of hair re-growth formulas are ginkgo, rosemary, prickly ash, yarrow, purple coneflower and east.

Finally, in my opinion the best formula to reverse hair loss is a combination of oral and topical treatments. That said, perhaps the most important message in terms of slowing down, and we hope to reverse hair loss is to solve the problem before it gets out of control because it is always easier to protect the existing hair than it is to produce a new quality of hair growth.
