There is no cure for alopecia and no universally proven therapy to induce hair re-growth and sustain remission, however, there are treatments. The effectiveness of treatments tends to vary and something that works well for one person may not work well for another. If you find one treatment doesn't work don't assume others won't either. However, bear in mind for some people none of the treatments are effective. Treatments for alopecia are generally divided into two groups:
1. People with less than 50% hair loss
2. People with over 50% hair loss
All of the therapies have documented side effects, some of which can be unpleasant. Treatments such as topical immunotherapy can be very time consuming. Individuals may decide that some of the adverse effects of treatment and the unpredictable outcome are unacceptable.
Treatment for less than 50% hair loss
Corticosteroids: Today, corticosteroids are the most common treatment for alopecia. In mild cases of alopecia the first choice of treatment would be a corticosteroid cream or lotion which is applied directly to the area(s) of hair loss. Alternatively an injection of corticosteroid can be given directly onto and around the bald area(s).
Side Effects: Side effects are generally rare when corticosteroids are used for a short time. However, when they are taken by mouth and when used over a longer period, they may lower the body's ability to fight off infections or may make infections harder to treat. Other common side effects include changes in appetite (increase or decrease), nervousness, restlessness, sleep problems, and indigestion. These problems usually go away as the body adjusts to the drug and do not require medical treatment. Less common side effects may occur with some forms of corticosteroids. Gels or creams may irritate the skin. Again, these side effects do not need medical attention unless they don't go away or they interfere with normal activities. More serious side effects are very unlikely, but they may occur.
In the UK corticosteroids are only available on prescription.
Effectiveness: This type of treatment can sometimes result in a recovery or can cause hair to grow only for the period during which the treatment occurs, so when the treatment is stopped the hair may fall out again. In the case of corticosteroid injections an average of 4 to 6 monthly injections are usually required for significant improvement. However although some re-growth is common it does not always occur.
IRRITANT CONTACT SENSITISATION: Dithranol (also known as Anthralin)
Dithranol is a tar-like ointment that is applied to the scalp and is especially good in the treatment of psoriasis (a skin condition causing red scaly patches). The pharmacist can compound it in various different pastes, ointments, and creams, and the strength may vary from 0.1 to 4%.
Side Effects: It can irritate the skin when applied and can cause burning and redness. It can also stain.
Available on prescription. Commercial and spontaneous Dithranol preparations are inexpensive and, in most cases, the cost is easily covered by the prescription charge. If Dithranol has to be applied by a trained nurse, or combined with UVB therapy, the cost rises sharply but the treatment can then be more effective.
Effectiveness: Dithranol can be effective even if only left on the skin for 10 minutes. This 'short contact' method allows stronger concentrations of Dithranol to be used with much less burning and staining. The stronger the Dithranol, the better the effect on psoriasis.
Retin A / Tretinoin: Retin-A was originally used for the treatment of acne and other skin problems. However studies have shown that Retin-A, when used alone in the form of a gel, which is rubbed onto the area of hair loss, or in combination with topical Minoxidil can result in moderate to good hair growth in individuals with Alopecia. It is recommended that Minoxidil is used in the morning and Retin-A in the evening as Retin-A increases the skin's sensitivity to sunlight.
Side Effects: Immediately after applying, the skin may feel warm or mild stinging or redness may occur. Some peeling of the skin may occur. These effects should subside as your skin adjusts to the medication.
1 tube of Retin-A cream starts at around £20 at online pharmacies. Generally the more you buy the less each tube is.
Effectiveness: Studies have shown that Retin-A, when used alone in the form of a gel, which is rubbed onto the area of hair loss, or in combination with topical Minoxidil can result in moderate to good hair growth in individuals with alopecia.
I RECOMMEND YOU SEE THE DOCTOR BEFORE USING ANY COMMERCIAL MEDICATION
The sites below have much more detailed information for you.
A work colleague of mine had this last year - and it cleared up on its own after about 4 months.
Good luck.

Has anyone tried Provillus for hair loss? Does it work?
I'm a 42 year old female who has been losing more hair than normal for a couple of years. I've been to specialists, had blood/hormone tests done, and tried the laser comb and multiple supplements... nothing seems to make a difference. My doctor says it could be my crappy diet and stress... but no one knows for sure, of course. Regardless - I need something to work! I recently read about Provillus on a couple of websites, and I'm wondering if anyone has had a positive experience with it.
provillus is a scam. why dont you look at all of their "blogs" that theyve set up? MAybe baldingtony.com or honostjonathan or trustmichael.com...they all claim to be their independent blogs reviewing different products. They do all the standards like claiming sexual sides from propecia, and they say spiro cream stinks and so on. The funniest part though is when each one rates rogaine and they say "Its a mess to apply and i got side effects!! ew!" ... When if you do just a LITTLE research into provillus' topical ingredients you see that it contains minoxidil, the same active ingredient in rogaine, but its just simply watered down, over priced, and they throw in some other shit that doesnt work.
Also, their magic pills are just saw palmetto, but again, its overpriced. And not only is it overpriced, it is probably ineffective because Provillus does not state that it is standardized saw palmetto extract 85-95% fatty acids.
So you can spend a shitload of $ on watered down minoxidil and pills that are completely ineffective.
Or you can buy rogaine or generic minoxidil from kostco and if you really are that into saw palmetto go and buy some standardized saw palmetto extract for $6 from a reputable company.
It's being called a "scam" because the very common active INGREDIENTS CAN BE FOUND AT YOUR LOCAL DRUG STORE FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST. The pills contain SAW PALMETTO and the topical contains MINOXIDIL.....of course it will probably work it contains MINOXIDIL. This is why PROVILLUS IS AN OVERPRICED SCAM!

Hair Loss Remedy #3
Provillus
Provillus claim to have the best quality ingredients and the best customer service. However, we are not yet entirely satisfied that Provillus is the best hair loss remedy. There is a six month guarantee which is of course a bonus. But, as they are not FDA approved we don't feel we can recommend them at this stage.
Provillus doesn't work. Used it for 3 months. No improvement at all.

Sorry, I think the results are pretty clear.
