Female hair thinning
It has been an age old endeavour for men and indeed women with hair loss to try and alleviate the problem ,often being tempted by the alluring assortment of lotions notions pills and potions to treat it. So what actually works? The answer to this depends on how far the hair loss has progressed.
There is a scale of hair loss for men and women devised by Drs Hamilton and Norwood.
This scale can help determine what level of hair loss the individual is at. Once this is established then the appropriate treatment can be successful.
For women level one can often be successfully treated using a topical treatment called minoxidil. This is a lotion containing a medical ingredient that can improve hair growth. Level two can also be treated with minoxidil but less of a result will be achieved. Level three is ulikely to be much improved by using the minoxidil and more of a hair replacement method is required for better results.
