Finasteride is considered to be the very best among the thinning hair remedies by the American Hair Loss Association. Finasteride meant to combat male pattern baldness.
Finasteride (the generic name for Propecia) is the treatment that will reduce DHT systematically throughout your entire body. Finasteride at a dose of 1mg will reduce DHT levels up to 70% (source: Dr. Robert Bernstein, Professor of Dermatology at Columbia University). Finasteride is available by prescription only for adult males, females should not use finasteride. The normal dose of finasteride is 1mg, taken everyday. Although finasteride is available from overseas pharmacies, I highly suggest that you purchase it from a legitimate American pharmacy with a prescription from your doctor.
Minoxidil or Rogaine (FDA-approved for androgenic alopecia)
Minoxidil is an FDA approved thinning hair remedy that is clinically proven to regrow hair. Minoxidil, also commonly known as its patented name 'Rogaine' is an over-the-counter hair loss medication that is clinically proven to prevent hair loss.
Rogaine or minoxidil is a clinically proven hair loss remedy. Minoxidil or Rogaine is used one or two times daily. Using Rogaine also reduces how much hair you lose in the shower. A controlled research analysis conducted by the "Internatonal Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons" explains that adult males that used five percent Rogaine for a year - reduced the amount of hair lost while showering from a mean of 69.7 hairs lost to a mean of 33.8 hairs lost. This marks over a half reduction of hair lost.
Azelaic Acid
The compound 'azelaic acid' is an effective hair loss solution. Azelaic acid, like finasteride and rogaine, is scientifically proven to inhibit and reduce DHT when it applied to your skins.
To combat hair loss or decreasing hair thinning, purchase a solution that contains both minoxidil and 5 percent azelaic acid. The 2005 "American Journal of Clinical Dermatology" reports that azelaic acid can destroy or block 100 percent of DHT on your scalp. If you haven't used a Rogaine or minoxidil, you are encouraged to begin with a five percent formula before using any higher strength. Make sure the formula has 5% azelaic acid to inhibit DHT. Perfect Image makes a good formula that isn't oily and dries quickly. The reviews of the Perfect Image 5% Minoxidil and 5% Azelaic Acid formula are quite favorable. Azelaic acid appears to be a more effective thinning hair remedies than topical spironolactone.
Ketoconazole (in shampoo)
Ketoconazole, an anti-androgen ingredient in shampoo, is clinically proven to combat hair loss and is one of the most effective thinning hair remedies. As of October 2011, Ketoconazole is the only shampoo ingredient that is clinically proven to prevent genetic pattern hair loss. Ketoconazole, like azelaic acid can prevent the synthesis of testosterone to DHT. This compound is the only shampoo ingredient that is among the legitimate thinning hair remedies. In a study published in the journal of "Dermatology" Belgian researchers concluded that ketoconazole, when applied topically to the scalp in a shampoo carrier, was as effective as 2% minoxidil in the "long-term" treatment of genetic pattern androgenic thinning hair. In a study published in the 2005 "Journal of Dermatology," Japanese researchers found that ketoconazole, applied topically, can stimulate hair growth and aid the treatment of thinning hair. I use a ketoconazole shampoo every other day, it definitely reduces the amount of hair lost when showering.
Spironolactone (Topically Applied)
Spironolactone is also clinically established to prevent hair loss. Spironolactone, typically known as a hypertension or high blood pressure medication, when topically applied can block 5-ar scalp hair receptors from DHT - the primary cause of hair loss. Since DHT cannot attach to receptors, hair thinning cannot occur. A 2010 study in the "Journal of Dermatological Clinics," describes how spironolactone, when taken orally, can reduce androgen levels in women. Spironolactone, orally ingested, is not considered among viable thinning hair remedies because of it feminizing potential effects.
