Shapiro MD is a hair treatment company that develops products to combat hair loss and baldness. The company's shampoo and conditioner are designed to combat dihydrotestosterone (DHT), blocking it and preventing the shrinking of hair follicles in the process.

Hair Loss Products and Treatments 

Shapiro MD's shampoo, conditioner, and foam are made out of three key potent, naturally occurring ingredients: saw palmetto berry extract (SPBE), epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), and caffeine derivative. This triple action formula was created by leading dermatologists Steven D. Shapiro M.D. and Michael T. Borenstein M.D. Ph.D., who have over 40 years combined in the clinical dermatology industry. After recognizing that the expensive and marginal hair improvement products on the market weren't satisfying their patients, they decided to create their own hair treatment solution. Ten years of product research and five years of product development on topical DHT blockers led to the development of their Shapiro MD patented formula.

Hair Care Products

Shapiro MD features a selection of shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in foam products which can be bought together or individually. All three of these products use Shapiro MD's patented triple action formula and are made in the U.S.A. Both shampoo and conditioner are sulfate-free.

The shampoo should be mixed well and applied onto wet hair, then left for two to five minutes before rinsing. After applying the shampoo, do exactly the same with the conditioner to your scalp. Then, rinse it off after one to two minutes. To apply the leave-in foam, pump once or twice to your palm, rub your hands together, and evenly distribute the product throughout your hair and scalp in the morning or evening. The foam is designed to be used once per day.

Prescription Medicine

As part of its comprehensive approach, Shapiro MD also offers hair loss sufferers the option of using the prescription medicine finasteride, a generic medicine more commonly known by the brand name Propecia. Finasteride also works to prevent the body from converting testosterone into DHT. It is one of only two prescription medicines that are FDA-approved for the treatment of hair loss. Finasteride only addresses male-pattern baldness and is not prescribed or effective for women.

The Shapiro MD formula attacks one of the most common causes of hair loss: dihydrotestosterone production. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a byproduct of testosterone that thins and shrinks hair follicles, becoming inactive and even outright killing them. Although other factors also contribute to hair loss, DHT production is generally considered one of its most common causes. The Shapiro MD formula blocks DHT production which then leads to a fuller, thicker head of hair.

For inquiries on usage and other information about the company's products, customers can contact Shapiro MD via phone number 7 days a week; Monday through Friday from 9AM to 9PM EST, Saturdays and Sundays from 9AM to 3PM EST. Customers can also reach the company via email or live chat.

I see no regrown har after 4 months of using this expensive product

I ordered this and did not understand that I was subscribing to receive monthly shipment. I called to return my first order and was told they do not pay for shipping on the returns. I have to put a RMA# on the package and return to a different address. Two days later I received another shipment and again contacted them and was told the RMA# was for the 2nd shipment and I will not be able to receive a refund on the 1st shipment. Buyer beware.

Tried this product a couple of times and lost so much hair I am afraid to use it anymore. I thought it was supposed to help with hair growth not hair lost. I think these products are a scam! Such a big waste of money!

I have been left to believe this company is a scam. I looked into this product and considered trying it out, an order was sent to without me having even completed and submitting for an order. I attempted to contact and cancel but was unable to reach them in time. I then tried to reject the package but was unable. After receiving the unwanted order they told me I'd have to pay to send it back. This was THEIR mistake and they expected me to pay to send it back with no sympathy or ownership of their mistake. They did NOTHING to correct their wrongs, no matter how clearly I tried to explain my situation. Complete disregard. Terrible customer service response. I now totally question the... Read More

I must warn consumers that if you try the companies trial kit for 4.95 and don't wish to continue, be prepared to fight for your money back. The customer service agents both times I contacted Shapiro are extremely rude and condescending. I do not recommend this line for women. The products have a manly scent and the minoxidil sent to use as part of the regime says for women not to use!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT! The 60 day return is a clever way of Shapiro getting out of the return policy seeing that they claim the product will start showing results in 4 months. My plan was to send the product back after two months but then decided to give Shapiro the benefit of doubt by using it for the full 4 months. It doesn't work. The only thing getting richer and fuller in the ShapiroMD bank acccount. If you read their advertisements closely, you will notice that they don't talk about new growth of hair, they only claim to have richer and fuller hair. Buy a good shampoo and you will get the same results if not better.

This product (shampoo, conditioner and foam) does not work, it actually made my hair loss worse. I contacted customer service for a refund after 90 days and was told that the warranty is only for 60 days. This occurred after auto-renewal. If you have to test the product for 3-6 months, why is the warranty only good for 2? Likely because it does not work and they can then keep your money. I will be throwing out the remaining items. Waste of money, another hair loss failure. These products need to be regulated to avoid consumers being ripped off.
