ScalpMed’s active ingredient is minoxidil (which is available as generic formula or more commonly as Rogaine). It includes extra vitamins and such, but the hair growing component is the same as you can find in any pharmacy but for much less. I don’t recall being sent any before/after photos to post on the site, though.

There may be a money back refund with some products, but I do not believe there is a hair-back refund. Unfortunately most of the time, hair that is lost from genetic balding is permanent. I doubt ScalpMed (which is basically a boutique minoxidil) would cause hair loss from the product itself, but there may be […]
ScalpMed contains minoxidil, which is known to cause blurred vision as a rare side effect in some people. For more info, see: BaldingBlog – Blurred Vision from Minoxidil Drugs.com – Minoxidil info Health A to Z – Minoxidil
Good for you! I highly doubt anything works in just a week for treating hair loss. Could this be like a placebo effect?
I would imagine that switching to standard minoxidil is just as good and should not cause additional hair loss. The use of Rogaine Foam may be better.
It is impossible to tell if your dry hair was due to ScalpMed or just coincidence. Either way, it is also not possible to tell when your hair will regain the loss you suffered. I do not have any personal experience with ScalpMed, but with respect to topical minoxidil it can sometimes cause scalp irritation […]
ScalpMed, as we stated before, does not have any scientifically proven ingredients besides minoxidil and I do not see any reason why minoxidil should not be as effective, possibly even better. There has been some research done on topical DHT blockers (mostly by Japanese researchers), which shows effectiveness of these products. I guess I would […]
ScalpMed contains minoxidil 5% solution, plus other stuff. Rogaine is minoxidil and comes in 2 and 5% concentrations. ScalpMed is far more expensive than over-the-counter minoxidil. If you prefer to pay more, the ScalpMed may be the better choice. For more, see: Infomercial Evaluator – ScalpMed
Yes, if the concentration of the minoxidil is the same. As for the results being the same, I would suspect that to be the case.
I’m posting this without seeing any photographic proof, but would love to see such proof through a good third party source. I have no way to determine if this is a real user response or a company plant. The reason for my doubts is that the response here has not been typical of the many […]
I would suggest that you get back on Propecia, for its possible benefits. The result of stopping Propecia means that you played “catch-up hair loss” which means that you lost all of the benefits of the drug, something that happens over a period of about 4 months. I have seen some wonderful results and am […]
Nope. The ScalpMed people are promoting their product very heavily and the claims that seem to be coming through internet chatter is unsubstantiated. There is nothing in that product that can make hair grow faster, because in fact, there is no drug anywhere that will make hair grow faster.
Minoxidil might help, but what are you really treating? You need to get a diagnosis to find out if you have genetic hair loss. To get that diagnosis, you need to have your scalp mapped out for miniaturization. You also need to be sure that you do not have other causes of female hair loss, […]
It is normal for one to lose 100 to 150 hairs a day. It is also normal for one to be concerned about hair loss and be proactive as you to try with products such as “ScalpMed”. Unfortunately there is no way to tell if these products actually work. That is why most are not […]
I have commented before on this line of products, but I could not tell you if they are safe or effective. I took a look at the FDA registry and found no approval of any reference to this product or company. You may wish to contact the company to find out why they claim FDA […]
