I've organized hair loss treatments by grade! Check this out if you're confused about which ones are actually effective~~

When I searched for information on hair loss, there was an overwhelming amount of data, but everyone had different opinions, so I was even more confused about what to believe.

 

I looked up various materials and summarized them in my own way. (It's already been 8 years of living with hair loss...)

 

First, Grade S, or the essential one, is an oral hair loss medication.

 

It belongs to the finasteride (Propecia) or dutasteride (Avodart) family, and it blocks the production of the DHT hormone, which is the root cause of hair loss.

 

They say that relying only on other treatments without using this is like pouring water into a bottomless bucket.

 

Hair loss is caused by this hormone continuously attacking hair follicles, so unless you stop it at the root, the progression will not stop no matter how good the treatment is.

 

 

Grade A is topical minoxidil.

 

It works by expanding the blood vessels leading to the hair follicles to promote hair growth, and they say that using it together with oral medication creates synergy and raises the score to an A+.

 

However, since there is a possibility of side effects, it is recommended to use it after consulting a specialist.

 

I heard that the mesotherapy injections at the hospital are also A+ level.

 

Since this method directly delivers nutrients to the hair follicles, there are many cases where the results are noticeably better when combined with medication.

 

 

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is classified as Grade B. Although it is an FDA-approved method, it requires time and cost as it must be received consistently at intervals of 2 to 3 weeks.

 

 

Hair loss shampoo is Grade C. They say it is for managing the scalp environment, not a treatment.

 

Also, biotin and brewer's yeast are merely supplementary measures, so it is a mistake to expect hair loss to improve with them alone..!

 

 

Lastly, hair transplantation is rated S-grade, but timing is critical and it must be combined with medication.

 

It is actually a loss to put it off, thinking, "I'll do it when everything is gone."

 

 

Conclusion: Oral medication and topical creams are key; everything else is supplementary. Do not rely on shampoo or supplements.
