Dr. Green Talks About Hair-Growth Products with Huffington Post

“Many individuals have found hair loss vitamins and supplements are beneficial, as they can increase hair and scalp health,” said cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Michele Green today in the Huffington Post. The HuffPost article explores the booming market for hair-growth products, noting that many make big claims without substantial scientific backing. The piece cautions that most cosmetic serums and supplements lack rigorous, independent clinical evidence. Experts agree that while natural ingredients like rosemary or pumpkin seed oil are generally safe, there’s limited proof they meaningfully promote regrowth.

Dr. Michele Green, a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, is quoted emphasizing that while vitamins and supplements such as Nutrafol and Viviscal may support scalp and hair health, they aren’t universally effective. She explains that individuals whose hair loss stems from genetics, hormones, or stress will likely need prescription treatments instead. Dr. Green also stresses that minoxidil remains the only over-the-counter topical with strong clinical support, available in both topical and oral forms, and often prescribed in customized strengths by dermatologists for better results.
