Rogaine w/ Minoxidil

It’s not immediately apparent how Minoxidil works just by reading the label. But, there is plenty to be learned about it if you look in the right places.

Minoxidil does not work on just any area of the body, and it cannot simply cause you to regrow tons of hair if you just rub it into your skin wherever you feel like it. It’s specifically targeted to help with hair loss in the crown of the head, but has not been shown to work in any other areas. For lots of people, the crown or back of their head is the place they first notice hair loss. For those people, Minoxidil is an excellent option.

Minoxidil works by increasing blood flow to the scalp and ultimately the hair follicles on your scalp. At the crown of the head, poor circulation is a major cause of hair loss. As your follicles become less and less nourished, they tend to shrink smaller and smaller, until your follicles are too small to grow hair anymore. If you are already experiencing hair loss, it’s quite likely that you will also notice that your actual hair strands are getting thinner over time as well. That is a sure sign that your follicles are shrinking.

In order to fully utilize the power of minoxidil, you will need to use it every day, in the morning and in the evening. This ensures that it is achieving maximum effect by being on your scalp for the longest time possible. Applying it more often that twice a day does not increase your results.

When searching for a product that contains Minoxidil, remember that Rogaine is not your only option. You can most definitely find something that works even better and contains more key ingredients to help you regrow hair. Many products even have supplements that will help regrow hair over your entire scalp, rather than just at the crown of your head.  Just be sure to shop around and which hair loss products have the best reviews.

Biostim for Hair Loss

For some reason I am a little disappointed every time I look into another somewhat obscure hair loss product, only to discover that it’s obscure for a reason. If it were actually working in people, it would probably be a much more well-known product. Biostim is one such product.

On the Biostim website, they do actually have apparent results of clinical trials that have been conducted successfully. That would normally be enough to put my conscience to rest and just let everyone know that it’s a legitimate product. After all, testing is what proves these results. I do know, however, that they do not offer a 90 day guarantee like the products I recommend, so I was a little skeptical.

After looking into the situation a little further, I discovered that Belgravia Centre in the UK has attempted to contact the developers of this product to look into the methodization for the studies they conducted. The developers have chosen not to release the data for one reason or another.

I know from experience that if a company like Biostim wants to get people to buy their product, I would use real results as a majore selling point. I guess if you don’t have real results though, you might want to try to shy away from bringing light to that.

So, to make a long story short, don’t go for Biostim if you are serious about a hair loss cure.
