Today's marketplace is filled with numerous products and treatments purporting to treat -- and even cure -- pattern hair loss.  most of us are not specialists in the field, so how is one to know which product or brand to choose?  without naming brands or judging individual treatments, here is a useful guide that you can apply to each hair treatment choice.  see how one product stacks up across the others.   assign a (+) symbol to those products that rise to each challenge and a (-) symbol to those that do not.  the more positives a given product demonstrates, the more likely it is to provide genuine clinical value. 

Question 1

If non-drug based, is the treatment supported with published, peer-reviewed medical evidence?

+ or -

Why it's important

Without objective proof, anyone can claim any benefit for any"thing".  scientific medical research is grounded by a methodology which only validates a substance once it has successfully been proven by critical analysis.  select for substances and treatments that have overcome this burden and you are more likely to be satisfied with your results.
