 Hair loss 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 hair loss 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 hair loss
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 hair loss over the years.
Recently, Dr. Taheri shared some valuable insight about
the causes and treatments of hair loss, as well as
natural solutions.
Q: What causes hair loss?
A: Although there are many reasons for hair loss,
95 percent of all cases are due to Androgenetic Alopecia,
which is more commonly known as Male or Female Pattern
Hair Loss. 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 hair
loss tends to be quite challenging. This is due to
the fact that most of the accepted treatments for
hair loss have been less than effective and have potential
side effects. Currently, there are two FDA-approved
medications for treating hair loss: 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 hair loss. Propecia® is recommended
only for men and can have sexual side effects.
Q: Are There any Natural Options?
A:
In my practice, most hair loss patients were concerned
about the side effects of Rogaine® and Propecia®.
After intensive research into various hair loss 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 hair loss. This is especially true for individuals
in the early stages of hair loss — those who
can expect to stop further hair loss and regain most
of the hairs they lost during the past three to five
years. Specifically, I have noticed that hair loss
diminishes significantly within two to three months
after using Revivogen and regrowth begins as early
as six months. In my professional assessment, other
hair loss 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 hair
loss medications. And I highly recommend this product
to all of my clients and anyone else who is combating
hair loss.
