Hair loss can lead to worrying about changes to your appearance and what your hair might look like in future; it’s perfectly understandable to think this way, but we want to help you rationalise hair loss.

Today, we want to examine whether hair regrowth is possible and how it can be achieved. Let’s examine the medications that would work best to promote possible healthy hair regrowth.

Can Hair Regrow?

Yes, it’s possible hair can regrow after hair loss has begun, but there are no guarantees that it will, no matter which medications you take to fight hair loss. However, the likelihood that hair will grow back often depends on the reason it was lost in the first place; if the reason were that you were receiving treatment for an unrelated illness or suffered severe stress, your hair would likely grow back with the right course of hair loss medication. However, for androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss), it can be more challenging to regrow, but it’s possible.

When you take Oral Finasteride or Topical Minoxidil, the two FDA-approved medications proven to stop hair loss, there is a chance your hair can regrow healthily afterwards; however, this doesn’t happen for every man who is prescribed these medications. When hair loss occurs, the hair follicles have been more miniaturised, meaning worse-looking, thinner strands will grow. Consuming or applying a prescribed drug to fight this thinning and loss works in at least 80% of men, and regrowth sometimes occurs.

Generally, the sooner you fight back against hair loss, the more likely hair can regrow with the proper treatment. You are unlikely to see hair regrowth occur if you have left it too late to start prescribed treatment, but hair loss can be halted as long as you have some hair left.

Will Supplements Regrow Hair?

Unfortunately, no supplements can instigate regrowth when hair loss has occurred. Products like Hair Growth Complex can make already healthy hair continue to produce thick strands, but it isn’t a prescribed medication proven to stop hair loss.

The same logic applies to Biotin, which supports the body’s keratin protein production for hair maintenance. At the same time, Biotin is helpful to consume; it won’t cease hair loss but promotes healthier hair maintenance. For regrowth to occur, you need to take either Minoxidil or Finasteride; these proven medications are the only options that give you a chance of experiencing hair growth.

Every man is different, and the reasons for hair loss vary, even if male pattern hair loss is the most common reason. Therefore, a consultation with a hair loss specialist will enlighten you about the severity of your hair loss, what you can expect from the treatment, and how likely hair regrowth will occur.
