WHAT ARE THE BEST HAIR LOSS TREATMENTS? DO THEY WORK?

Patients like you, who are looking for information on how to stop thinning hair, are constantly bombarded by advertisements promoting the “world’s greatest hair loss product” that will give them a full head of hair like when they were eighteen years old. As a result, Pizarro Hair Restoration (PHR) has created this informative page to help you avoid these “gimmicks” and use only hair growth products/services proven to make a positive impact against hair loss.

With over 20 years of experience in the hair loss industry, the following is a list of scientifically proven products/services, recommended by Dr. Pizarro, to help you during your hair restoration process:

Propecia (Finasteride):

Most patients that come in to visit our offices often ask DOES PROPECIA REALLY WORK? The answer to this question is it helps 85% of patients who use it. Propecia serves as an enzyme blocker, not allowing a male’s testosterone from further converting to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Since this small pill, taken daily, goes directly to the root of the hair loss problem, it tends to be the most effective hair loss solution of all. However, laboratory tests show that less than 2 out of one hundred men that consume Propecia suffer from sexual side-effects, although they are reversible when consumption is stopped.
 

Rogaine:

Although this product has been in the market for over 25 years, many patients that visit PHR still ask DOES ROGAINE REALLY WORK? The answer to this question is also a yes! Most of our patients have found the new Rogaine Foam to be the most user-friendly. Applied twice daily, morning and at night, Rogaine can result as a very effective topical solution to hair thinning and hair loss. It is most effective in the mid-top and crown areas, although Dr. Pizarro often recommends applying it in the frontal area as well. If you suffer from low blood pressure, however, it is recommended you visit your medical doctor before using Rogaine. 

 Vitamins:

This third option also falls in the category of effective products for hair loss. Since you may be like some of our patients that don’t like to use pharmaceutical products, but instead may be looking for a natural remedy for hair loss, Dr. Pizarro highly recommends consuming Vitamin B12, Biotin, Zinc and Magnesium on a daily basis. These natural remedies have been found to be very effective in strengthening the hair and nails of our patients.
 

 Hair Loss Laser Treatment:

Whether in our offices or at home using a portable laser brush, many of our patients also benefit from laser hair restoration therapy. By using this option three days a week, fifteen minutes each session, your weakening follicles receive more blood supply by the stimulation emitted by the lasers. As a result, a healthier follicle will result in the growth of stronger hair.

IMPORTANT: It is vital to state that hair loss therapy is a progressive process, since hair loss is a progressive challenge. Even though a patient may select a hair transplant procedure to add hair in areas where there is only balding, it would behoove that same patient to partake in some type of hair loss therapy, not to treat the hair transplants which are permanent, but instead to treat hair in other areas that may thin in the near future.
