Hair Loss Concealers

Once derided as “hair in a can,” contemporary hair loss concealers have become more sophisticated, as well as a very viable solution for people looking to conceal minimal hair loss. Often, these concealers are also the preferred option for fair hair coverage or who use them to enhance the look of hair after a transplant.

Hair Systems (Hair Pieces)

Hair systems – or, more commonly, hair pieces – have made great strides in allowing men and women with thinning or balding hair to conceal their hair loss. In fact, hair pieces from reputable salons are now fitted to the point where the hair piece is barely distinguishable from the person’s natural hair.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

Low-level laser therapy, sometimes called low-level light therapy or LLLT, is one of the newer procedures being used in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, or male and female pattern baldness. LLLT works by directing low-level laser light energy to the scalp tissue, in order to boost the blood supply, and stimulate hair growth cells beneath the scalp.

Minoxidil – mostly known under its established brand name, Rogaine® – was the first hair loss treatment to receive FDA approval.

However, there are some natural hair loss treatments that, when used in combination with medications may create a more hospitable environment in which hair can grow.
