Is it a Scam? Does It Really Work? Check Ingredients, Side Effects and More!

Shapiro MD is a treatment system specially created for people who suffer from hair loss. It includes a 3-In-1 topical treatment shampoo and conditioner that can be used by both men and women. Even if you suffer from male or female pattern baldness, the system promises to help you achieve fuller and thicker hair in just 30 days. The product was developed by the team of dermatologists from Shapiro MD, a company that was founded in January 2011 by Steven D. Shapiro M.D., Ph.D., and Michael T. Borenstein M.D. Dr. Shapir earned his medical degree from UMDNJ New Jersey Medical School and currently, he provides his services in Florida. He is also a board-certified dermatologist and boasts to be a specialist in surgical, medical, and cosmetic dermatology. Despite such great experience in medicine the two men founded the company in 2011. We didn't find much customer feedback for the Shapiro MD hair loss shampoo and conditioner. The company was not listed with the Better Business Bureau at the time of our research. The same can be said about their parent company.

The official website of the company is not informative enough when it comes to the ingredients used in this haircare system. But it is full of promising claims about the program itself. The manufacturer claims that they use only natural ingredients of pharmaceutical quality. The system promises to block the hormone DHT that leads to hair loss. It also uses stem cells to stimulate hair growth and rejuvenate follicles. The company claims to have more than ten years of scientific research. According to the website, the majority of patients notice positive results after a few days of using Shapiro MD. Major improvements include fuller and thicker hair with better texture. Usually the visible results can be noticed after thirty days of using the system. All you will need to do is to use a nickel to quarter size amount of shampoo and conditioner when you shower. As you can see, the company makes big claims on the website. But can Shapiro MD really bring the promised results? Let's try to find out by taking a look at the ingredients in the formula.

Ingredients of Shapiro MD - Does It Really Work? Is It a Scam?

According to the official website, their triple action formula works by retaining present hair and improving the growth of new hair in the crown and temple area. Unfortunately, these are nothing more than empty promises. There is no label listed on any of the three Shapiro MD sites we saw during our research. However, the company's patents referenced that the product includes about 0.01 to 0.19 mg/ml of caffeine (which is from 0.001% to 0.019% weight of final volume); about 0.5-50 mg/ml of an epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) derivative (0.05%-5% weight of final volume) and about 0.01-0.2 mg/ml of a saw palmetto berry derivative (0.001%-0.02% weight of final volume). Inactive ingredients include: Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate; water; Cocamidopropyl Betaine; Dimethiconol dodecylbenzene sulfonate; Cocamide DEA; TEA dodecylbenzene sulfonate; Sodium Chloride; Glycol Distearate; Fragrance; Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride; Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein; Panthenol; Methylisothiazolinone; Methylchloroisothiazolinone; and Citric Acid. These are skin conditioners, foaming agents, preservatives, and moisturizers, all of which are chemicals.

Is there any clinical evidence proving that these ingredients are effective for treating hair loss? Based on how frequently these components are referenced on the system's site, it is easy to see that there are no stem cells listed. Nevertheless, according to Margaret Foster Riley, an expert on drug and food law at the University of Virginia, stem cells become not really alive anymore when they get in contact with the human skin. Their only benefit may be moisturizing capability. There are many studies regarding saw palmetto, but WebMD lists this ingredient as possibly effective for BPH, while Healthline claims that the research is limited on the effectiveness of saw palmetto for the treatment of hair loss. According to the reputable sites like Examine.com and Webmd.com, you can see the same situation with caffeine and green tea.

Customer Reviews - Does It Have Any Side Effects?

Shapiro MD official website does not mention any side effects related to this haircare system. According to such authoritative websites as Examine.com and WebMD, the topical application of the higher mentioned ingredients is unlikely to cause any side effects. However, some users report experiencing mild irritation, itching and dryness of the skin. Shapiro MD notes that their hair loss products are intended for people who are only over 18 years old of age. The shampoo is not recommended for women of childbearing age because there is risk that active DHT blockers may cause harm to an unborn child. The website also indicates that the system is not expected to interfere with hair coloring.

There are enough customer reviews to say that this haircare system can be dangerous for your health. One man reported that he has gone bald after using it. He has been using the shampoo and conditioner for two months every day. He kept the conditioner on his hair for ten minutes before washing it off. He is sure that he had more hair on his head before using these hair care products. Now his hair of falling more and he is almost bald now. The man asks everyone not even to try this system. Many other users simply did not notice any effects. Thus, one woman says in her review that she purchased six bottles of this stuff and used it for more than eight months. She still did not see anything. She was not expecting a miracle, but she wanted to grow a few new hairs. According to his words, this is a bad product and company. Let us take a look at the actual customers' reviews available online.

"Do not buy Shapiro MD ever. I am a woman in my late 40's and I have tried many different products to stop the development of baldness. I spent four thousand dollars on a plasma transplant, which did not work for me. I use Castrol oil and a red light bonnet every day but nothing works! I bought the Shapiro MD system with high hopes; however, it did not stop my hair shedding. It stripped my hair color. I don't like my current color shade."

"I purchased a 12-month supply of ShapiroMD for $199. I have used it regularly for nine months as directed every day following all the instructions. I left the shampoo and then the conditioner for a definite number of minutes but in vain. I took pictures before I started the program and then more pictures nine months later. I saw no positive changes."

"After using two bottles of Shapiro md I am now losing my hair. The shampoo and conditioner seemed to work well at first but then my hair started falling out and breaking off. I do not have much hair and I cannot afford to lose more hair. This shampoo and conditioner are horrible products! I would give this product zero stars, but there is no such choice!"

My Final Summary

Taking into account everything we have learnt about Shapiro MD, this haircare system does not seem to be worth the price. It is very expensive but at the same time ineffective for fighting baldness and hair loss. In fact, this product is twice the price than the competition available on the market. The system also has minimal clinical support for its safety and efficacy at treating hair loss. There is no surprise why so many customers complain of experiencing even more hair loss when using the product. With all this in mind, it might be difficult to recommend Shapiro MD. Do not waste your money.
