Which Hair Loss Treatment Is Best?

Updated: Sep 22, 2024

Hair loss can feel overwhelming, but with so many treatment options available today, there’s hope for regrowth and restoration. Whether you're dealing with thinning hair, bald patches, or just want to add fullness, there's a solution that fits your needs and lifestyle. From medical treatments to natural approaches, here’s a comprehensive menu of hair loss treatments to help you find the right path.


Treatment Menu:

There are several effective hair loss treatment options available, depending on the cause, severity, and desired results. Here’s an overview of the most common treatments:




1. Medications

  • Minoxidil (Rogaine): A topical treatment that stimulates hair follicles to promote regrowth. Available over-the-counter, it’s typically applied directly to the scalp and can be effective for both men and women.

  • Finasteride (Propecia): A prescription medication taken orally, primarily for men, that helps prevent further hair loss by reducing the hormone DHT, which is linked to hair thinning.

  • Spironolactone: Another oral prescription often used for women with hormonal hair loss. It blocks the production of androgens, which can cause hair thinning.


2. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP involves drawing your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting it into the scalp. The growth factors in the plasma are believed to stimulate hair regrowth by promoting healing and revitalizing the hair follicles. It’s a popular option for those looking for a more natural, non-surgical treatment.




3. Hair Transplant Surgery

This is a more permanent solution for hair loss, especially for men with male pattern baldness. In a hair transplant, hair follicles from one area of the scalp (usually the back or sides) are surgically implanted into thinning or bald areas. Two common techniques are:

  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Hair follicles are individually extracted and transplanted.

  • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): A strip of scalp is removed, and the hair follicles are transplanted from it.


4. Laser Therapy

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) uses light energy to stimulate hair growth. It’s a painless, non-invasive option often used in combination with other treatments. Devices like laser combs or caps can be used at home and are FDA-cleared for promoting hair regrowth.


5. Scalp Micropigmentation

For those not looking to regrow hair but still wanting to address the appearance of thinning, scalp micropigmentation involves tattooing tiny dots on the scalp to mimic the look of hair follicles, creating the appearance of a fuller scalp.


6. Hair Extensions or Hair Systems

For a more immediate solution, people often opt for hair extensions or hair systems. While these don’t treat hair loss, they offer a way to add volume and cover thinning areas while undergoing other treatments. Extensions like the Ultimate Link Weft offer a natural, damage-free solution.






7. Nutritional Supplements

Hair loss can sometimes be a result of nutritional deficiencies, particularly in vitamins like biotin, zinc, and iron. Taking hair-specific supplements or improving your diet can help support hair health. Popular options include:

  • Biotin: Known for promoting stronger hair and nails.

  • Collagen: Improves overall hair strength and elasticity.

  • An herbal remedy thought to reduce DHT levels.


Shampoos that target hair loss often contain ingredients like biotin, caffeine, ketoconazole, or DHT blockers that help strengthen hair and reduce hair thinning. These are more effective as part of a broader hair care routine and may provide support in combination with other treatments.


9. Scalp Care and Massage

Promoting good scalp health can improve hair growth. Regular scalp massages stimulate blood flow, which can increase nutrients reaching the hair follicles. Oils like rosemary and peppermint oil have been known to improve circulation and potentially encourage growth. Book regular a scalp treatments with your hairstylist.




If hair loss is extensive, wigs or toppers can provide a full-coverage solution. These come in natural or synthetic hair and can be styled just like real hair. Shop Hair Toppers on Amazon.



11. Stress Management and Lifestyle Changes

Since stress can contribute to hair loss (like telogen effluvium), managing stress through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and a balanced diet may help prevent further loss.

Depending on your hair loss cause and severity, a combination of these treatments may provide the best results. Consulting with a hair loss specialist or dermatologist is a good first step to create a personalized treatment plan.
