There are more types of hair loss than you think. Androgenetic alopecia (often called “pattern hair loss”) is one of the most common and can affect male and female. Pattern hair loss can be diffuse (spread across the entire scalp) or affect specific areas of the scalp, like the hairline or crown of the head.

It's also possible to have patchy hair loss (alopecia areata being one possible cause) and hair loss driven by a medical condition such as hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels) or other metabolic disorders that affect how the body uses nutrients or produces the building blocks of hair (e.g. collagen, keratin).

If this is the first time you're seeking help with hair loss, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional to correctly identify the type of hair loss you're experiencing and review your treatment options. That's where we come in!

No medication or hair loss treatment is completely risk-free, but the type and frequency of side effects depends on the specific treatment and treatment format.

As an example, finasteride, a popular FDA-approved medication for hair loss, has been associated with side effects like sexual dysfunction, decreased libido, decreased ejaculatory volume and mood disorders. These side effects are similar to those reported with dutasteride use and in both cases, are potentially minimized with topical formulations. XYON is one of few companies offering topical dutasteride.

Not everyone experiences side effects with hair loss treatment. In some cases, if patients do experience side effects, they resolve with continued use of the treatment or once the medication is stopped. If you're ever unsure about your treatment, we recommend contacting your prescribing doctor.

In our opinion, the best hair loss treatments are ones that are backed by clinical research and data. These include finasteride, dutasteride and minoxidil. These treatments have shown positive results in stimulating hair growth and preventing further hair loss in male patients.

If you aren't ready for medicated treatment, there are non-medicated options like shampoos and conditioners. XYON's retail line of hair care products are specially formulated with ingredients that can help create a healthy scalp environment for optimized hair growth.

Propylene glycol and Ethanol are not ingredients in the SiloxysSystem™ Gel. SiloxysSystem™ Gel does contain a type of chemical related alcohol called caprylyl glycol, which is a common ingredient within the cosmetics industry that functions as a humectant. This means that it designed to draw moisture into the skin and helps to keep it hydrated. It is generally considered safe for all skin types and should not be confused with the alcohols you may find in a foam or spray version of other hair growth solutions.

As with any sensitivity or allergy it is still recommended to share these concerns with any physician or pharmacist you may be receiving treatment from.

When it comes to treating hair loss, patience is key. Depending on the medication, it can take 6-12 months or sometimes longer to notice visible improvement in hair loss.

Improvements include new growth and preventing further hair loss.
