New hair loss products are born every day often promising great results but seldom delivering them.  But though it is easy for us, being emotional about our balding condition, to buy into claims of success, you are encouraged to look for real proof that a product really does what it claims.  Examples include scientific proof, obtaining a list of and researching each active ingredient, third party clinical studies documenting its success, and real satisfied patient testimonies with before/after picture verification. 

We were recently contacted by a company that swears their product (Satura Rosta) may be the answer to our hair loss woes.  But claims of success mean nothing without proof.  Could this be the baldness cure everyone is looking for? Click here with skepticism and demand evidence that proves this product has any level of benefit for the bald.

This insightful article was written by Dr. Michael Meshkin of Newport Beach, CA who is one of our recommended hair restoration physicians.

Hair loss can be devastating in men and women. When I started in hair restoration 20 years ago I rarely had female patients, however in the past few years, I have noticed that the number of patients with female hair loss has increased tremendously.

Following evaluation and examination if female pattern baldness is due to hyper androgenic conditions she can benefit from anti-androgen therapy. We consider hair transplant surgery if the patient is a good candidate. I have had many female patients that had great results with anti-androgen therapy and also I have treated women that had success with hair replacement. In either case the results had tremendous effect on the clients self esteem.

After hair transplant surgery, are there any drugs that the hair loss doctors recommend or prescribe to get a good amount of hair growth or is it just surgery that causes the new hairs to grow?

The good news is, transplanted hair will grow on it’s own and does not require any use of hair loss or any other kind of medication.  Some physicians believe however, that using Rogaine 5% (minoxidil) for the first 3 months after hair replacement surgery might help “jump start” early growth however, it is not required for the hair implants to grow. 

Hair loss drugs such as Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine with minoxidil however, are typically used to help maintain any “native” or natural hair you might have left.  Remember that hair transplant surgery does nothing to stop the progressive and unpredictable nature of male pattern baldness.
