Treatment of hair loss in women

Treatment of hair loss in women
Female hair loss treatments include minoxidil (Rogaine), hair transplants, hair powder fibers like Toppik, wigs, hair extensions, and weaves.

Minoxidil (Rogaine) is available over the counter and available in 2%, 4%, and 5% concentrations. It is marketed for women at the 2% concentration but may be used in higher strengths as directed by your doctor.
 It may be something of a nuisance to apply twice daily, but it has been shown to help conserve hair and may even grow some.
 Minoxidil tends to grow very fine small hairs wherever it is applied. It is important to avoid running the liquid onto the face or neck where it can also grow hair.

Multiple vitamins   containing zinc,vitamin C,vitamin E, vitamin B, folate, iron, and calcium is a very reasonable choice. Newer studies suggest that vitamin D may be somewhat helpful and worth considering. Specific vitamin and mineral deficiencies like iron or vitamin B12 may be diagnosed by blood tests and treated.

Biotin have been promoted for hair growth, but solid scientific studies for many of these claims are lacking.

ketoconazole (Nizoral) : Itchy scalp may cause mild, reversible hair loss.

Causes may include seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff).

 Nizoral shampoo and topical cortisone creams and lotions

 to help decrease itching.

Low Level Laser Therapy

Laser Hair Therapy (LHT) is a non-surgical, scientific approch in a cosmetic treatment of hair loss , thinning hair and scalp problems. LHT has been tested for effectiveness and safety for over 30 years all around the world.  

The therapy supposedly energizes and improves blood circulation while stimulating the growth of individual hair follicles, and, as a result, produces thicker, healthier hair and combats hair loss.
In fact the hairmax laser comb has been approved by the FDA for specifically this purpose.
