To date, finasteride is the only proven hair loss treatment that can stop the progression of male pattern baldness in its tracks by blocking DHT, the hormone responsible for genetic hair loss.  Though finasteride can be purchased on the internet, patients run the risk of dealing with pharmacies selling illegitimate medication.

Does saw palmetto really reduce hair loss? If not, then what is the best treatment for stopping hair loss?

Saw palmetto is conjectured to block DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and thus has been used as a natural supplement to treat an enlarged prostate (BPH). And though some believe saw palmetto can successfully stop hair loss as effectively as Propecia (finasteride), I have yet to see any clinical evidence to prove this. Not too long ago, we decided to do some research on saw palmetto and sited our findings on the Hair Loss Learning Center. To learn more about saw palmetto and whether or not it can be a successful treatment for baldness, visit “Saw Palmetto for Hair Loss”.

To date, Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) are the most effective treatments for thinning hair and baldness.

Best wishes in restoring your hair,

This blog was written by Dr. Steven Gabel of Hillsboro, OR who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.  

This takes the cake, or should be up there, in a list of top 10 bogus hair loss solutions. There is now an IPhone hair loss application called: “HAIR CLINIC:  for man and woman.” I just found this on the internet and had to check it out and it is true. Go to Apple’s website in the application store and you will find it.

They call it “The World’s first Mobile Hair Clinic System.” From briefly reading this, people are supposed to put the IPhone to their head and the application makes the phone generate inaudible high and low frequencies to promote circulation around the hair follicles.

The best part is the disclaimer: may cause headaches if the built in speaker is used close to the ears. The company states that it is not responsible for the headaches.

And all this for $3.99.

Steven Gabel, M.D.

Evaluating hair loss treatments takes careful research, looking for clinical evidence, and reading real patient testimonies with photos. Recently, a study on mice revealed that drinking green tea may stop and even reverse hair loss.

Mice with identical hair loss were split into groups and given either plain water, or water containing green tea. The results showed that green tea stopped their balding and even stimulated new hair growth in all those in the test group.

Though the results are certainly interesting, how valid is a clinical test on mice for balding humans? Can green tea really stop or even reverse hair loss? View this thread to read the study and offer your input on or experience with green tea.

What are the best available natural hair loss products in the market for hair regrowth.  I don’t have any dandruff.

It depends on what you mean by “natural”.  Many hair loss treatments are advertised as “all natural” alternative to drugs like Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil).  However, in our research, we’ve found very little compelling evidence to suggest many of them can slow down, stop, or reverse hair loss.

At the Hair Loss Learning Center, we have reviewed a number of alternative hair loss treatments.  You are encouraged to read through the data we’ve collected and draw your own conclusions.  Be sure to research any product you are considering to treat your baldness.
