Top Treatments for the Determined Woman to Conquer Hair Loss

When it comes to treatments for hair loss and hair thinning, there are many. Some good and some not so good, so it’s important to do your homework and not believe everything you see in an advertisement. “Your best source of accurate information is from a trusted dermatologist,” advised Callender, a hair care expert and consultant.

Here are the top hair loss treatments she recommends:

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which the hair is taken from the back of the scalp and transferred to top or front. This tends to be a very effective treatment, although the most extreme—and expensive. Costs range from $5,000 to $8,000.

The Leimo Hair Treatment Pack is an at-home treatment that can easily be part of your daily hair care regimen. It essentially helps restore the hair into a healthy condition. Each product in the pack is customized to address specific hair and scalp needs such as fine, medium to coarse, chemically-treated or natural, normal to thin-looking or noticeably thinning. The suite or products cleanses, restores and activates the hair and scalp to achieve thicker-looking hair and is available at Leimo retail stores.

The laser comb by Leimo International is a low-energy light treatment that delivers energy to stimulate hair follicles. It is a TGA-approved device—classified as a class-2a device for the stimulation of hair follicles and hair growth—and is still subject to approval by the FDA.

Natural treatments include biotin supplements, iron supplements and a healthy diet. “Don’t underestimate the importance of a diet high in protein,” said Callender. “This is crucial because protein deficiency causes hair loss.” A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids also helps to avoid dry, brittle hair and breakage.

Callender’s last piece of advice? Be patient. “Hair grows in cycles and it can take up to six months for hair loss to stop and correct itself. Don’t give up on finding a solution that works for you.”
