Female Pattern Hairloss Treatments

There are several treatments that may work to help halt and/or regrow hair lost to female pattern hairloss.   Currently, the only FDA approved hairloss treatment for women is Rogaine (2% Minoxidil), although an extra strength Rogaine for women (5% Minoxidil) is expected to be approved within the next year.  Other treatments can be prescribed "off-label" (used for an indication other than it is approved for) by your physician.
