In this article, we are going to explore minoxidil as a treatment for hair loss and give an explanation how, after approximately five (5) years of studies, Hair Restoration Laboratories has created the most effective and powerful minoxidil-based available--the Ultra Strength Hair Regrowth Treatment. While the FDA has approved minoxidil as a hair loss treatment, the scientific community is not in agreeing as to how it exactly stimulates hair regrowth. Most theorize that minoxidil promotes blood circulation to hair follicles and increase the diameter of the hair shaft. Minoxidil was initially approved only as a 2% minoxidil formulation for adult males. In addition, due to the fact that the subjects only used it on the crown of the scalp, it has only been approved to help regrow hair in that region. Minoxidil was later approved for use at a 5% concentration, for males and females. Minoxidil is only suggested for men and women with a genetic or “pattern” hair loss, and not hair loss due to any other reason, which includes stress, medication, childbirth, and so on. Sadly, it is well-known that minoxidil is quite restricted in its effectiveness. If you make a decision to apply standard minoxidil, you should have realistic expectations. Either you will grow a bit back, maintain the hair you have left, or see no outcomes at all. On average, only 33% of customers of standard minoxidil observe slight hair regrowth. The major problem with standard minoxidil is that it does not deal with the actual cause of hair Loss-DHT! Minoxidil does not do anything to stop hair loss because it does not cope with or counter the actual cause of genetic hair loss-Dihydrotesterone ("DHT"). Eventually, your hair follicles (without a DHT blocker), becomes overwhelmed by DHT, leading to more hair miniaturization (more thinning and loss). To properly prevent and reverse hair loss, you must block DHT. Unfortunately, DHT causes havoc for hair follicles. It connects to them and triggers a process called "miniaturization". Because the hair follicles become miniaturized, they will grow in thinner and thinner. Eventually, the hair will become so thin and vulnerable that, once it falls out, it does not regrow again. Therefore, to effectively prevent and reverse hair loss, Hair Restoration Laboratories has mixed FDA-approved 5% minoxidil with potent ingredients which have the capability to block DHT. Unlike regular 5% minoxidil, the Ultra Strength Hair Regrowth Treatment contains powerful DHT blockers which include caffeine, saw palmetto extract, green tea extract, pumpkin seed oil, azelaic acid, borage extract and cumin seed oil. The Ultra Strength Hair Regrowth Treatment additionally includes important vitamins, nutrients and different ingredients, such as biotin, keratin, inositol, vitamin E, vitamin C and vitamin B6 to dramatically increase the strength, health, and thickness of your hair. By treating the root cause of hair loss, the Hair restoration Laboratories’ Ultra Strength Hair Regrowth Treatment can successfully prevent and reverse male and female pattern hair loss like nothing else.
