Topical Spironolactone Women's Hair Loss Treatment
Information presented by HairlossTalk.com![]() |
What is Women's Topical Spironolactone?
Which women should use Topical Spironolactone?
Applying Topical Spironolactone for Females
Natural Alternative to Oral Spiro?Oral Spironolactone is a potent treatment for women with thinning hair. However the side effects can be very strong, and undesireable. There is now a topical version of this potent androgen blocker that addresses the same issues, but locally, and without side effects. You can use Topical Spironolactone s5 cream by itself or with other topical or oral antiandrogens to help stop and reverse your thinning hair. Note - this treatment is not for women with patchy or total hair loss. |
What is Topical Spironolactone?
Spironolactone is most commonly prescribed in a pill form by doctors for the treatment of thinning hair in women. While it is one of the most common orally ingested antiandrogens, some women don't feel comfortable taking it. Others prefer to add to the regimen by using a topical antiandrogen as well. Topical Spironolactone (pronounced: spy-row-nolack-tone) can be considered a topical alternative, or addition to oral spiro, but without any risk of side effects. Its a topically applied lotion or cream that works as an incredibly potent "androgen blocker".
Whereas oral spiro works in the bloodstream to inhibit the hormonal processes causing your thinning hair, topical Spironolactone works locally to block DHT from binding to receptors and damaging your follicles. Using Topical Spironolactone in conjunction with other growth stimulants like Rogaine Foam or other topical antiandrogens like Revivogen is a great multi-faceted way to completely protect your hair from further loss
How does Topical Spironolactone work?
Remember that antiandrogens are not the same as growth stimulants. It can take years to begin to notice thinning hair, and eliminating the cause can take time as well. Topical Spironolactone stops further hair loss, and enables your hair to restore itself. This takes many hair cycles, and will require your patience.
Hairs in certain areas of your scalp have, have become sensitive to the presence of DHT, which is manufactured there. There are receptors in the follicle which enable the DHT to attach, and begin the process of rejecting the follicle. Spironolactone instead attaches itself, blocking the remaining DHT from doing so. Even without oral Spiro, Topical Spironolactone can do its job just fine.
Who is Topical Spironolactone For?
Topical Spironolactone is for women with thinning hair. It is not for women with patchy or complete hair loss. It is for women who want to add a little more power to their oral spiro regimen, or avoid oral treatments all together. It is for women who understand that this helps stop the cause, and it should be used in conjucntion with a growth stimulant for an even more effective hair regrowth regimen.
How do you apply Topical Spironolactone?
This treatment is applied to the parts of your scalp that still have hair, but are thinning. Using your fingertip, you can dab a small amount and smear it up a "part" in your hair. You can also swirl it around the base of your hair. A very small amount is needed, and after application, it will absorb up to an inch in all directions. It goes on clear and should not affect your styling at all.
Natural Alternative to Medications?
If you are more of a natural treatment proponent, a wise combination regimen can include Revivogen. This combination can effectively replace an oral/topical spiro combination. Revivogen is also applied topically, and has absolutely no side effects. It is a treatment that has solid science backing it as a topical antiandrogen, and yet contains all natural ingredients. Though it was written for men with androgenetic alopecia, we encourage you to read this helpful article on a combo treatment of Revivogen and Topical Spiro. The last paragraph hits it on the head.
