Hair restorers are products that can be purchased at pharmacies.
For those who are concerned about thinning hair, this product is in high demand as a low-barrier thinning hair care product.
This time, I would like to talk about whether hair growth products that can be purchased at pharmacies are effective.
What hair growth products cannot do
The effect of hair growth agents is to adjust the scalp environment.It adds thickness, firmness, and body to your existing hair, and prevents hair loss.
It is easy to purchase as a self-care product at pharmacies, so it is easy to start using it as a hair care product.
It is not a hair growth agent and has no hair growth effect.
Many people may not know that hair growth products have no effect on increasing hair growth or treating thinning hair, or may be mistaken about their effectiveness.
There are patients who come to our clinic who have tried using hair growth products for several years but have not noticed much change.
Are hair growth products a waste of money?
For those who are looking for hair growth, rather than improving the scalp environment or preventing it, hair growth products have no effect on hair growth, so it can be said to be a waste of money as you will not get the desired effect.
As for the price, there are many expensive ones, even if you continue to use them because you think they have a hair growth effect.
This product only has a hair growth effect, so even if you spend a lot of money, it won't make your hair grow and you won't get the desired effect.
AGA Treatments
Hair does not fall out all at once, but gradually, so even if you are aware of the symptoms of AGA, you tend to miss the opportunity to go to the clinic for a consultation tomorrow or next month and end up procrastinating. is.
However, it has become clear that AGA can be expected to improve if treatment is started early.
If you are hoping for a hair growth effect, it is better to spend money on AGA treatment at a clinic early on.
Those who have received treatment at our clinic receive treatments such as oral medications and injections that have been shown to have hair growth effects, such as minoxidil and finasteride.
After starting thorough treatment, she finally realized that the hair growth products she had been using before going to the hospital were actually not very effective.
While this realization is a path that everyone should take, I also believe that it is a path that we don't have to take now that medical care has advanced and hair loss treatments have become widespread.
There are drugs available at the clinic that have evidence that they are effective for hair growth, and many new drugs are also being developed.
The best way to resolve your concerns is to consult a clinic as soon as you notice thinning hair and start treatment as soon as possible using a method that suits your current situation.
Summary of this time
The effects of hair growth agents include improving the scalp environment, adding thickness, firmness, and body to existing hair, and preventing hair loss.
It is not a hair growth agent and has no hair growth effect.
To treat hair loss (AGA), we recommend using oral medications such as minoxidil and finasteride that have been shown to have hair growth effects, as well as undergoing treatments such as injections.
Starting treatment early is a shortcut to resolving your concerns.
