Can Products like Toppik Prevent Hair Loss?- Monday, March 01, 2010
Question: Do Toppik and Nanogen provide and medical benefit for thinning hair? What exactly do they do? They're considered topicals, correct?Answer Toppik and Nanogen are topical concealers composed of microfibers (organic keratin protein) that coat your existing hair upon application, making it appear more dense. These types of products should not be confused with medical treatments for hair loss; concealers are essentially hair "make up". You basically shake the "powder" out of a small canister onto your head, and the fibers magnetically bond to each strand. You generally need to have a minimal to moderate amount of hair to work with, though. There are a few other types of topical concealers available on the market: DermMatch, which coats the scalp and expands each hair; Prothik, an aerosol hair thickening system; and Couvre, another lotion-compound that can reduce scalp contrast. Some brands are more durable than others, and each has its own limitations. Finding the right color and mastering the application is usually the key to success with most concealers. - Anthony - Editorial Assistant and Forum Co-Moderator of the Hair Transplant Network, the Coalition Hair Loss Learning Center, and the Hair Loss Q & A Blog.
