Do hair loss treatments really work?
Proven treatments work for many people, but results vary. Most slow or stop thinning, and some regrow visible hair. The earlier you start, the more hair there is to protect. No treatment works on follicles that are already gone, which is why fully bald, shiny areas don't respond.
How to choose a starting point
- Mild to moderate thinning, want to avoid prescriptions: start with topical Minoxidil.
- Men wanting the strongest non-surgical approach: ask a doctor about adding finasteride.
- Women with hormone-related thinning: ask a doctor about spironolactone.
- Advanced, stable loss: talk to a transplant surgeon.
- Unsure of the cause: see a dermatologist first.

Domande frequenti
Is Minoxidil or finasteride better?
They work differently and are often combined. Minoxidil is applied to the scalp and sold over the counter; finasteride is a prescription tablet for men.
Are hair loss treatments permanent?
Medicines work only while you use them. Transplanted hair usually lasts long term.
Do hair growth shampoos work?
Shampoos are mostly cosmetic. They can make hair look fuller but don't replace a proven treatment.
