From a medical standpoint, effective products against hair loss are not defined by marketing claims, cosmetic texture, or short-term visual improvement. They are defined by their ability to interfere with the biological mechanisms that cause follicular miniaturization and progressive hair thinning.
In clinical hair medicine, hair loss is understood as a chronic, progressive condition, most commonly driven by androgenetic factors. Therefore, products that claim to be effective must go beyond surface-level care and act at the follicular and hormonal level.
The majority of commercially available hair loss products fail for one simple reason:
they do not address DHT.
Many shampoos, serums, and ampoules focus on:
improving hair shine,
increasing temporary volume,
coating the hair shaft with cosmetic polymers.
While these effects may create the illusion of improvement, they do not slow down or stabilize the hair loss process.
From a clinical perspective, any product that does not interact with DHT-related follicular damage cannot be considered truly effective.
In my clinical practice, effective hair loss products must meet three non-negotiable medical criteria:
DHT is the primary hormone responsible for progressive hair follicle miniaturization in genetically predisposed individuals. Products that fail to modulate DHT—either locally or systemically—cannot offer long-term protection.
This is why Saw Palmetto–based formulations are central to modern, evidence-based hair loss management.
Hair follicles constantly cycle through:
Anagen (growth phase)
Catagen (transition phase)
Telogen (resting/shedding phase)
Effective products help prolong the anagen phase and reduce premature transition into telogen. This requires biologically active ingredients—not cosmetic fillers.
Hair loss is not treated for weeks or months, but for years. Products with aggressive pharmacological profiles often lead to poor compliance. Natural, well-tolerated actives such as Saw Palmetto allow sustainable, long-term use, which is essential for real results.
From a medical perspective, Saw Palmetto represents one of the most rational and clinically compatible ingredients in hair loss management.
Its effectiveness lies in its ability to:
naturally modulate 5-alpha reductase activity,
reduce excessive DHT impact on hair follicles,
support follicular stability without systemic hormonal suppression.
This makes Saw Palmetto particularly suitable for:
long-term hair preservation,
post–hair transplant patients,
men and women seeking non-aggressive medical support.
Products containing Saw Palmetto are not cosmetic solutions; they are medical-supportive tools.
One of the most common mistakes patients make is searching for one single “best product” against hair loss.
From a clinical standpoint, this approach is flawed.
Hair loss is multifactorial. Therefore, effective management requires:
topical intervention at the scalp level, and
systemic support at the hormonal and metabolic level.
This is why isolated products—no matter how well formulated—rarely deliver stable, long-term results on their own.
FOLLIACTIV® Hair Care Solutions was developed precisely to meet the medical criteria of effective products against hair loss.
Instead of relying on a single product, FOLLIACTIV® is designed as a complete clinical system, in which:
all topical products (shampoo, foam, serum, lotion) contain Saw Palmetto for local DHT modulation,
the FOLLIACTIV® Hair Multivitamin delivers Saw Palmetto orally for systemic support,
additional vitamins and minerals support follicular metabolism and hair shaft strength.
This synchronized, inside–outside approach is what differentiates medical-grade hair loss products from standard cosmetic care.
After hair transplant surgery, the need for effective products becomes even more critical.
Surgery relocates hair follicles, but it does not change the patient’s genetic sensitivity to DHT. Without proper medical support:
native hair continues to thin,
transplanted hair remains stable,
visual imbalance develops over time.
Saw Palmetto–based products help:
protect native hair from ongoing miniaturization,
support graft adaptation,
preserve overall density harmony.
This is why, in my protocols, effective hair loss products are not optional after surgery—they are essential.
From an evidence-based, clinical perspective, effective products against hair loss must:
address DHT directly or indirectly,
support the hair growth cycle biologically,
be suitable for long-term, consistent use,
work as part of a coordinated treatment system.
Saw Palmetto–based formulations meet all these criteria.
This is why all FOLLIACTIV® products are built around Saw Palmetto, and why they are integrated into Hairmedico’s medical hair restoration philosophy—not as cosmetics, but as clinical support tools.
