Dr Lam's Hair Restoration Forum

[arroy13]

I'm 51 female , I've been experiencing hair loss and I wondered if any women out there have bought any hair loss product out there that they felt work for them. Is there any real good answers? Thanks!

minoxidil is the only FDA cleared product that can help but NOT completely fix the problem. i would definitely have a laboratory workup evaluation from your physician including iron, hormones, testosterone, thyroid, and autoimmune workup. if there are any patches or scaliness you should also see a qualified dermatologist for a skin biopsy and workup. if not, sometimes the best answer after all of that is a hair transplant if the condition merits it but always do the medical workup first to see if there is a correctable problem.
best,

Dealing with the actual medical problem may stop extreme hair loss and permit the hair to re-grow.
