Q. Why are there so many hair restoration and gray removal products for men?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Hair loss and graying are two of the most common issues that men face as they age. As a result, there are numerous products available on the market designed to restore hair and reverse or cover up signs of graying.
The most popular products for these purposes include minoxidil (known as Rogaine) and finasteride (sold under brand names such as Propecia or Proscar). Both minoxidil and finasteride have been shown in clinical studies to be effective treatments for male pattern baldness, but neither can completely reverse balding or completely halt the process of graying. Finasteride has also been found to be a helpful treatment for prostate enlargement in men over 55.
Other options available include medicated shampoos, conditioners and scalp treatments with ingredients like ketoconazole or saw palmetto (for DHT inhibition), copper peptides, biotin supplements, capsaicin-based scalp creams, facemasks enriched with keratin proteins for scalp repair and nourishment. These contain ingredients thought to help stop hair fall out by stimulating blood flow in the scalp area while providing nutrients needed for hair growth at maximum speed without any side effects.
The latest technology used in many anti-aging products is laser therapy which combines visible red light therapy with infrared low level laser treatment – both safe methods that rely on non-invasive collagen stimulation within skin tissue to achieve excellent results in treating gray hair strands and receding hairlines due to genetic predisposition. This method has been proven safe even after repeated use over long periods of time without causing any damage underneath the epidermis layer of skin on your head where your follicles live giving you thicker fuller looking locks within weeks!
Finally some people don’t want take medication/drugs or go through lasers/light sessions so they resort back to cosmetic solutions like wearing wigs/ toupees which do work but require daily maintenance care & servicing just like if it was actual real human full head tresses attached permanently onto one’s own head! So depending upon how much effort & money one wants invest into changing their look totally will determine which type product(s) they choose regarding both masking grey hairs & restoring lost thickness into existing thinning areas!
