Dr. Robert Leonard Questions Latest Survey in Consumer Reports Regarding Hair Loss Treatments
The May issue of Consumer Reports Health
features a report about products that treat hair loss such as Rogaine® and Propecia®. It offers results of surveys by readers of the magazine about their experiences with remedies for balding. I definitely have some problems with the reported results. The entire story is based on results from a survey, and not a study.
Who knows of how many of the more than 8,000 online respondents who began these treatments were ever made aware of their benefits, time table for expected results, realistic expectations of results, and what to look for and when, but abandoned the treatment before they even became effective because they didn’t realize that they needed to use them for much longer than they actually did use them.
