Womens hair loss treatment
Womens hair loss could be cause by many reasons, heredity, stress, under medication, under diets (such as Nutrisystem, some women experience hair loss while using Nutrisystem), use of chemicals (such as wrong shampoo type) or because of certain hair styles (such as use of tight rollers etc).
Unlike men, women seldom experience male pattern baldness, women usually experience thinning of hair around the scalp which is sometimes know as female pattern baldness.
So what are the current known effective methods of womens hair loss treatment?
One of them is Aldactone or Spironolactone which is a diuretic and testosterone inhibitor. This stops the hormone that causes hair loss. This would usually require a doctor’s prescription. Some women do experience side effects of breast soreness.
Another that requires prescription, is Propecia, although Propecia is usually used to treat men’s hair loss or male pattern baldness. Some women have used this medication with much success. Propecia is an oral medication that is a DHT inhibitor (Dihydrotestosterone, the hormone consider to be the cause of hair loss). It is unsafe for women who are pregnant and who are breast feeding their babies. There have been cases of birth defects through the use of Propecia. For men using Propecia about 1% may experience undesirable sexual side effects such as decrease in libido.
Next Minoxidil, a womens hair loss treatment that is approved by FDA (US Food and Drugs Administration), which is less invasive than Propecia or Aldactone. This is because usually Minoxidil is used in the form of a topical application, applied twice a day on the affected scalp region. Minoxidil is a popular treatment used by both men and women, not only of that fact that it is FDA approved but also the user do not need to have a doctor’s prescription to use it. Minoxidil is marketed under many brand names the more popular ones being Rogaine and Provillus’ womens topical hair loss treatment.
For severe cases, hair transplants should be considered. There are also a variety of shampoos and conditioners that claim to treat hair loss in women. However, it some cases, women reported losing more hair!
Some of the safer womens hair loss treatments besides use of Minoxidil are the use of hair loss supplements or vitamins. There are a huge variety of supplements that are for womens hair loss supplements. One of the more popular ones that could be purchased online is Provillus which provides a proprietary blend of ingredient specially selected to support hair growth in women and to retard the process of hair loss (for more information on Provillus womens supplement and topical serum application click here).
Lastly before undertaking any supplementation or treatment it is always best to check if reducing stress (at work for example) or a different hair style may just do the job. Else if you should require any womens hair loss treatment we suggest giving Provillus a try, Provillus a natural herbal supplementation and a topical application which could be less invasive on the body.
