What is the Best Hair Loss Treatment for Men?
Before deciding on the best hair loss treatment for men, the cause of hair loss must first be determined. Hair loss can be temporary or progressive.
Temporary hair loss will often resolve on its own. Common temporary hair loss causes are stress, reactions to medication, hypothyroidism, or traction alopecia.
Progressive hair loss is permanent unless available treatments are utilized. Treatments include Propecia®, Monixidil, low level laser therapy, and the most permanent solution — hair transplant surgery. A complete hair restoration plan can include more than one hair loss treatment, such as a hair transplant coupled with supplemental treatments. The best way to determine what hair loss treatment is best suited for you is to receive a free hair loss assessment, discuss your options, and form a treatment plan with your Bosley physician.
If your doctor determines your hair loss is progressive, there are proven hair loss treatments approved by the FDA.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) – New Technologies That Work
LLLT technology works via the principle of photo-biostimulation, a process which delivers laser energy to the hair follicle. This can result in increased blood flow and circulation within the scalp, resulting in revitalized follicles and a general strengthening of the hair.
The Bosley LaserComb Elite® and Theradome™ Laser Helmet utilize LLLT technology and are available in the Bosley store.
