There is a new product on the market called Hairisol that claims to re-grow hair in men when they suffer from Male Pattern Baldness or Androgenetic Alopecia. This condition is the number one cause of hair loss in men and ABC news reports that over 40 million men in the US suffer from the embarrassing situation of thinning and balding hair. Hairisol claims to be able to re-grow lost hair because it has an active ingredient that has been approved by the FDA.

Baldness is a major problem in this society that worships youth. Hair loss has always been thought of a sign of aging and it really is. About 40 percent of men in their mid 30’s will show some level of balding and by age 60 nearly 65% of the men will. So it does seem to be associated with aging. Some interesting studies have been conducted in which the pictures of men with varying degrees of hair loss have been shown to people who were then instructed to guess the age of the men. The ages of the men with substantial hair loss were always assumed to be 10 to 15 years greater than they actually were. This means if you are bald or going bald you can take years of age off your appearance just by re-growing some of the hair you lost.

This product, Hairisol, claims on their website to regrow hair with the FDA approved drug Minoxidil. Minoxidil is the active ingredient in the widely popular hair loss product Rogaine. In clinical studies it has been shown to stop or slow the loss of hair and help some hair follicles to become active at growing hair again. This drug target a specific area of the scalp only and is not very affective in the others. If you are losing your hair on the crown or top of the head then Minoxidil does seem to have some positive affect for the majority of men. It does not treat the front of the head, though, so if you are having a problem with a receding hair line then it really won’t do anything for that. In reality, the best hair loss method for a receding hair line is hair restoration surgery.

The product Hairisol has Minoxidil in it but I have not been able to determine what other ingredients may be present. Their website is very good at offering ways to buy the product but all the links to more information are not active. Therefore, I have not been able to tell what other ingredients may be present. In products such as Rogaine, a 5% Minoxidil mixture is usually used when treating men and 2% for women. This seems to be the most effective levels.

It would be nice to have more information about this product in order to make a comparison of it versus other hair loss products. Unfortunately, the owners of their web site have decided to not give out that information. I will report back here when I have been able to determine more specifics about Hairisol.
