Hairloss Solutions: A Dermatologist's Professional Opinion
Advertorial

Hairloss is a common problem among men and women. About 25 percent of men begin balding by age 30 and two-thirds begin losing hair by age 60, according to the American Medical Association.

Some hairloss is a normal part of the hair growth cycle. In fact, we typically lose 50 to 150 scalp hairs every day. Baldness (alopecia) results when hairloss occurs at an abnormally high rate; when hair replacement occurs at an abnormally slow rate; or when normal hairs are replaced by thinner, shorter ones.

Daniel Taheri, MD, Board Certified Dermatologist has treated many patients with hairloss over the years. Recently, Dr. Taheri shared some valuable insight about the causes and treatments of hairloss, as well as natural solutions.

Q: What causes hairloss?

A: Although there are many reasons for hairloss, 95 percent of all cases are due to Androgenetic Alopecia, which is more commonly known as Male or Female Pattern Hairloss. This genetic condition occurs more frequently in males, affecting approximately 40 million men in the United States.

Q: What remedies are available?

A: Treating patients with male or female pattern hairloss tends to be quite challenging. This is due to the fact that most of the accepted treatments for hairloss have been less than effective and have potential side effects. Currently, there are two FDA-approved medications for treating hairloss: Rogaine® and Propecia®. Rogaine® is a topical solution that works by stimulating the hair follicle and keeping it in the growth phase. The side effects of Rogaine® may include headaches, palpitations and hair growth on the face. Propecia® is another medication available by prescription and is taken orally. It works by reducing the production of a hormone called Dihydro-Testosterone (DHT), which causes hairloss. Propecia® is recommended only for men and can have sexual side effects.

Q: Are There any Natural Options?

A: In my practice, most hairloss patients were concerned about the side effects of Rogaine® and Propecia®. After intensive research into various hairloss products in the market, I learned about a natural, dermatologist-developed product called Revivogen. I have used Revivogen in my practice now for four years and based on my observations, I feel that it is extremely effective for the treatment of hairloss. This is especially true for individuals in the early stages of hairloss - those who can expect to stop further hairloss and regain most of the hairs they lost during the past three to five years. Specifically, I have noticed that hairloss diminishes significantly within two to three months after using Revivogen and regrowth begins as early as six months. In my professional assessment, other hairloss treatments have not proven to be nearly as effective as Revivogen. The most impressive thing about Revivogen is that it is all-natural and does not have the side effects commonly associated with other hairloss medications. And I highly recommend this product to all of my clients and anyone else who is combating hairloss.
