The Truth about Biotin

The efficacy of biotin for hair growth is a subject of debate and limited scientific evidence. 

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is believed to play a role in maintaining overall hair health. While some individuals have reported improvements in hair growth after taking biotin supplements, the results vary, and its effectiveness remains inconclusive.

Hair growth is influenced by various factors, including genetics, hormonal balance, nutritional deficiencies, stress, underlying medical conditions, and environmental damage. While biotin is involved in the metabolism of nutrients necessary for hair growth, it may not be the sole determining factor.

It is essential to consult with a healthcare professional to identify the underlying cause of hair loss and determine the most appropriate treatment plan. We can provide personalized advice at HMR Tijuana and recommend evidence-based approaches to promote hair growth.

It’s worth noting that excessive biotin in the body is typically excreted in urine, but extremely high doses may have side effects and can interact with certain medications. Therefore, it is crucial to follow the guidance of healthcare professionals when considering biotin supplementation or any other interventions for hair growth.

While biotin is believed to contribute to overall hair health, its effectiveness for promoting hair growth is not yet fully substantiated. At Hair Medical Restoration, in collaboration with Dr. Jorge Cortez, we offer both online and in-person consultations. These consultations are dedicated to assessing your specific case and needs. Our experts will conduct a comprehensive analysis, taking into account your individual circumstances, and provide personalized guidance based on your expectations and experiences.
