Hair loss remedies work to strengthen the scalp, preventing hair from falling and, in some cases, causing hair to grow in areas that are already bald.
Some of the most used remedies are:
1. Minoxidil
Minoxidil can be used in men and women and acts by causing vasodilation, making the blood more easily reach the hair follicle, carrying the nutrients necessary for its development.
Minoxidil should be used twice daily, preferably in the morning and evening. Learn more about this remedy.
2. Pantogar
Pantogar is a food supplement that has nutrients that provide substances that fortify the hair, preventing the fall. Learn more about Pantogar.
The recommended dose of Pantogar is 1 capsule, 3 times daily for 3 to 6 months of treatment. For adolescents over 12 years of age, it is recommended to take 1 or 2 capsules per day.
3. Zymo HSOR, Gel FF or Revivogen
These are products that inhibit a substance called DHT, responsible for hair loss, especially in men.
The way of use depends on the product chosen.
4. 17-alpha Estradiol
This remedy reduces the effects of hormonal changes in hair loss in women. Learn how to use it and what formulations exist.
5. Follicusan
This is a remedy that normalizes the cycle of hair growth, thus preventing changes of the scalp, in addition to normalizing the production of sebum, avoiding the formation of dandruff.
6. Hair Active
Hair Active improves circulation in the scalp and enables better hair nutrition.
7 . L-Carnitine
L-Carnitine stimulates hair growth, reduces cell death and increases energy.
In addition, ketoconazole is an antifungal used topically on the scalp to decrease the fungal population and excess oiliness that causes hair loss.
Finasteride is a remedy for male hair loss that reduces the damaging effects on the scalp caused by the hormone DHT and makes hair grow, but it can not be used in women because it has negative effects on pregnancy and because it has no proven effect on the population.
Hair loss is especially common in women during the period of breastfeeding, occurring around 3 months after the baby's birth. Learn more about what add-ons you can use during this time.
In addition, specific shampoos and conditioners can also be used to treat hair loss, such as Klorane, Vichy, Loréal Expert or Kérastase, for example.
