What are ampoules for hair loss?
With ampoules for hair loss, you don't have to worry about the substance being injected into the scalp. The applications contain an active ingredient to strengthen the hair roots and improve blood circulation in the scalp. Such products are offered by various manufacturers in pharmacies and online. Manufacturers don't always disclose which active ingredients they actually contain. You should take a closer look at the list of ingredients. Various ampoules for hair loss are offered specifically for women. They contain active ingredient complexes that are specifically tailored to the scalp of female sufferers. Only a few such products are available for men. Some manufacturers have developed and patented special active ingredients. This is not minoxidil, as minoxidil is sold as a solution in bottles or as a foam.
What you should consider regarding the active ingredients
The active ingredients contained are usually:
- Chemically based active ingredients
- placental active ingredients that are skin-related and derived from the placenta
- herbal active ingredients
- various enzymes
As a consumer, you don't always know the exact composition of these active ingredients, whether they are well tolerated, and whether they actually help combat hair loss. Therefore, you should pay attention to reviews from customers who have already purchased these anti-hair loss ampoules in online shops and online pharmacies. Many providers allow you to view the package instructions online. You should pay attention to possible side effects and contraindications. Herbal active ingredients are generally well tolerated. They can be extracts from various plants, such as ginkgo biloba, viburnum bark, stinging nettle, or basil. The herbal active ingredients can also be supported by amino acids or enzymes.
Ampoules and their effects
The active ingredients can improve blood circulation in the scalp and hair follicles. The hair follicles are strengthened and can become more resistant to the hormone dihydrotestosterone, which is responsible for hereditary hair loss. Depending on the active ingredient, the scalp can be better supplied with nutrients. If the hair follicles are still intact, they can be stimulated to produce new hair. Depending on the ingredients contained in the anti-hair loss ampoules, additional effects can occur:
- healthier and stronger hair
- Improve hair growth
- Delaying graying of hair
If hair loss is already advanced and you've had bald patches on your head for a while, these products won't regrow hair. However, hair loss can be slowed.
What should you keep in mind when using it?
Before using the bottles, you should read the package insert carefully. You will find information about possible intolerances and contraindications there. To prevent hair loss, you can carry out a treatment twice a year for a period of six to eight weeks, depending on the product. The treatment can be carried out two to three times a week, depending on the bottle manufacturer. The treatment should be carried out in spring and autumn, as this is when hair loss is most severe. The ampoules against hair loss are easy to use. After washing your hair, apply the substance to your hair and scalp. Massage it in to help the liquid penetrate the scalp. One ampoule is sufficient for one application. You do not need to rinse your hair afterward. You can use the bottles on their own or in combination with a shampoo against hair loss. If you are also using a hair growth product such as finasteride or minoxidil, the use of these ampoules is not always advisable.
If in doubt, ask a specialist
Hair loss occurs when you lose more than 100 hairs a day over an extended period. You should act promptly and consult an expert. They can examine your scalp and pluck hairs for a trichogram, which they then examine under a microscope. They can often also determine the cause of hair loss through a blood test. During a medical history, they can ask you about known illnesses, any family history of hair loss, allergies and intolerances, and any medications you are taking. Hair loss is often caused by an illness, such as an autoimmune disease. The doctor must then treat the underlying cause. Hair growth can be promoted with ampoules for hair loss. Hair regrowth can also be stimulated if bald patches are already present but have not been there for long. You should ask your dermatologist whether such ampoules are suitable for your personal case. The dermatologist can recommend a specific product.
Can the ampoules prevent a hair transplant?
Whether you can prevent a hair transplant with the anti-hair loss ampoules depends on how advanced your hair loss has already become. If you want to use the product as a preventative measure, you may be able to permanently avoid a hair transplant as a last resort. If hair loss is already advanced, you can slow the loss, but hair will no longer grow back in the bald areas. To fill these areas, you can have a hair transplant.
