What minoxidil preparation to reach for and is it worth supplementing with hair loss?

Good morning, in the last 2 months I have observed increased hair loss. I have heard that a good solution could be to use a rub containing minoxidil, but it occurs in many concentrations and I do not know what preparation to reach for. I would also like to ask whether it is worth introducing some supplementation in such a situation and whether there are proven drugs / supplements that affect the hair? Thank you in advance for your reply

Minoksidil can be especially helpful in the case of androgenic pattern baldness, that is, with the gradual loss of hair of the antero-upper part of the hairy scalp. The substance applied topically inhibits hair loss and stimulates their growth by improving circulation and division in the hair follicles. It is available in concentrations of 2% and 5%. A higher concentration may be associated with a faster and more pronounced effect, but the therapy is still rather long-lasting. Inhibition of hair loss can be observed in the second month, new hair begins to grow more intensively after about 4 months, and you have to wait up to 12 months for the full effect. Due to the fact that minoxidil can cause skin irritation, it may be preferable to start with a concentration of 2%. Products such as Alocutan, Loxon, Minovivax or Piloxidil are available without a prescription: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/101047/alocutan-aerozol/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/45058/loxon-2-plyn/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/92626/minovivax-2-plyn/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/61819/piloxidil-plyn/apteki Vitamins, amino acids, essential fatty acids and minerals can be helpful if the cause of hair loss is deficiencies Food. For example, biotin deficiencies are rather rare, but if they occur, they can cause hair loss and deterioration of the nails. Medicinal products (drugs) containing biotin are, for example, Biotebal or Biotylek: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/11948/biotebal-tabletki/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/99934/biotylek-tabletki/apteki However, sometimes it is difficult to determine whether hair loss is caused by deficiencies of a specific, single ingredient. An individual choice may therefore be the choice of a supplement that will complement the daily diet.

A hair specialist is a trichologist, basic tests to assess general health can also be ordered by a family doctor. The cause may also be incorrect eating habits or cosmetic procedures and errors in care: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/szampony-i-odzywki-na-porost-wlosow
