Abstract

This preliminary study focuses on the effect of a topical application of herbal Hair Loss Lepa, in the reduction of hair loss and promotion of new hair growth in men and women. Twenty subjects (15 men and 5 women), with varying levels of hair loss, were enrolled in this six month study. This study indicates that herbal Hair Loss Lepa is effective in reducing hair loss in both men and women: 55% of the male and 51% of the female participants reported a noticeable decrease in hair loss after one month of treatment. 68% of men and 64% of women reported significant fall in the hair loss by three months of treatment. By the end of the study majority of men and women reported new growth of hair. This study also suggests that herbal Hair Loss Lepa may be beneficial in stimulating new hair growth. This effect, however, seems to be more pronounced in men and women under the age of 40 years, who are expected to have normal hair growth cycles. Nevertheless, as most of the subjects of this study have been diagnosed with alopecia, this result suggests that a subsequent study should be performed to determine quantitatively the effect of herbal Hair Loss Lepa in stimulating hair regeneration in patients with severe alopecia.
