There are many stores that offer different types of hair restoration products. Hair loss products can greatly vary from medicinal to herbal. However more and more companies nowadays create a more advanced device in treating hair loss. This device is commonly known as laser comb or brush which produces low level laser therapy or LLLT.
Generally, you can prevent alopecia or hair loss by using products, particularly the topical solutions that contain DHT inhibitors or blockers. This mode of defense targets the main culprit of the condition which is the hormone DHT and hence can stimulate hair regrowth at the same time. Other hair loss sufferers take finasteride pill on a daily basis. Both topical solution and finasteride pill are believed to obstruct the formation of DHT, preventing DHT from binding to the receptor’s site and inhibit the activity in the androgen receptor itself.
Highly recognized treatments for hair loss are as follows:
* MINOXIDIL is highly accepted by most people, this medication is a vasodilator and it was originally used as an oral drug to treat severe high blood pressure. However, physicians have discovered its surprising side effects such as the unwanted growth of hair on the body parts. Minoxidil like “Rogaine” promotes and stimulates the growth phase of the hair growth cycle. Minoxidil is sold in the market in many forms as a 2% solution for women and a 5% solution for men and it is applied directly on the affected balding area of the human scalp twice a day per 1ml. Common side effects include scalp itching, swelling and redness of the site.
* FINASTERIDE is one of the most utilized hair restoration products especially in men. It is the generic name of Propecia and Proscar. This antiandrogen pill acts by inhibiting type II 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Dermatologists consider this to be the most effective hair loss remedy and while it is in fact the first and only FDA-approved pill proven to treat male pattern hair loss on the vertex and middle front of the head. This pill comes in a 1mg and 5mg, which is advised to be taken daily orally.
* LASER COMB is a more advanced type of hair loss restoration system that stimulates hair growth with other solutions applied to the scalp. The “laser comb” has been in use for several years already. Primarily, the laser device uses low level laser energy directly on the scalp with the intent to stimulate hair growth through “Photo-Biostimulation” of the hair follicles. A Laser device can effectively stimulate hair follicles in the scalp which increases the density, the growth rate and normalizes the scalp condition. Through this process, the laser penetrates and stimulates the root of the hair to produce a new healthier hair follicle thus promoting a thicker and stronger hair. A laser comb is marketed as a useful, reliable and more economical than getting a hair transplant which costs a person for thousands of dollars.
* SAW PALMETTO is the most extensive form of “herbal” extract used in many hair restoration products such as Procerin, Avacor, Revivogen, Provillus and Leimo. Saw palmetto was originally used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia or BHP. This exquisite extract has been intricately studied by researchers and is proven to be bountiful in fatty acids and phytosterols which are responsible to block dihydrotestosterone or DHT.
