The U.S. generates something close to 1 billion U.S. dollars annually in revenue from the treatment of hair loss. Needless to say, a good many of the systems used are completely useless and only on the power of wishful thinking. However, the enormous amount of valid scientific research, has in the subject of baldness has used some bona fide results, too.

Since it inhibits the conversion of testosterone into hydro-Testosterone, it has been shown beneficial in hair loss retardation as well, and is sold by prescription under the brand names Propecia and Proscar in the U.S..
Minoxidil has found favor in dealing with advanced hair loss. Originally developed as an antihypertensive treatment, it has proved to have some regenerative properties to hair. It is available in the U.S. as the current application under the brand name Rogaine and is also prescribed as an oral medicine. Reports suggest that the results of minoxidil use, though undeniable, are far from dramatic. The best can be hoped for is a thin, fine growth or "peach fuzz", and this is no longer administered and reverse when the drug is stopped. Users were also known for developing moderate-to-severe allergic reactions.
Tricomin (or Triamino Nutritional copper complex) is a product that is reported to have been some of the benefits for a limited number of users. Theoretically, the effect of melanin production and improvement of free radicals, thereby promoting hair growth. Other forms of treatment such as hair cloning have been successful under laboratory conditions and have not found useful applications still human.
