Two Effective Thinning Hair Treatments You Have To Know About.

 

Thinning hair is a real problem for many men and women today. For one reason or another, people experience rapid thinning of the hair as well as sudden hair loss. While there are many products on the market that claim to combat hair thinning, not all of them have been scientifically proven. As it stands today, there are only two prescription drugs available that have been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for hair loss treatment. These are Rogaine and Propecia.

Rogaine - Rogaine has been approved by the FDA as a product that can effectively slow the rate of hair loss and effectively reduce the level of baldness. It is available by prescription and is applied as a topical ointment to the scalp twice a day. Users will recognize very quickly how effective the product is at slowing or stopping hair loss. In a couple of months, you will see wonderful new growth.

Propecia - Propecia is the only other drug approved by the FDA for hair loss treatment. It was initially thought to be effective for men who experience baldness. However, it has since been shown to be an effective treatment for women also experience hair thinning and baldness. The difference between Propecia and Rogaine is the fact that this particular drug is taken orally and not applied as a topical ointment like Rogaine.

One thing that people with thinning hair need to recognize however is that once use of the products has stopped, any new hair growth that you have experienced over time will be lost. In order to continue seeing new growth and to maintain what has already grown back, you need to continue using either of the products listed. Otherwise, you can expect all new hair to shed over a short period of time.
