3 Proven Treatments For Hair Loss


Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve come across ads claiming to slow, stop and even cure hair loss. Unfortunately, most of these ads market bogus products that do nothing more than drain a hole in your pocket. In this article, we will go over the best hair loss solutions available today.

#1 Propecia (finasteride)

Propecia (finasteride) is a potent 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that ultimately prevents the formation of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone responsible for hereditary hair loss. The 5-alpha reductase enzyme is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT through the blood stream.  Propecia (finasteride) has been clinically proven to reduce up to 70% of DHT in the body - consequently, slowing and even stopping the progression of genetic hair loss.
#2 Rogaine (minoxidil)

Rogaine (minoxidil) is a topical vasodilator, which is a fancy word for widening the blood vessels. Rogaine (minoxidil) was initially used to treat hypertension but doctors began to see a reoccurring side effect, which was hair growth. Rogaine was the first medication approved by the FDA to treat male and female pattern baldness. Unfortunately, the exact mechanism for how Rogaine (minoxidil) works is still relatively unknown but many believe that minoxidil works by prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair follicle. Thus, slowing the balding process. Additionally, around 40% of men and women experience hair growth after applying Rogaine. 

#3 Surgical Hair Restoration 
Unfortunately, hair transplant surgery still has some negative stigma associated with it; mainly due to the outdated “barbie doll” hair “plug” procedures of the 80’s and 90’s. Today, when done right a hair transplant is undetectable even under close scrutiny by hair stylists and barbers. Hair transplantation has evolved substantially from the days of “hair plugs” and “corn rows”. Now hair transplant surgeons are able to densely pack up to 45-60 follicular units per square centimeter (cm2) and make transplanted hair as natural looking as regular hair.  Transplanted hair grows as natural as any other hair would on your head and the hairs are indistinguishable from non-transplanted hair.

Conclusion

While surgical hair restoration has evolved, it requires skill, talent and experience to produce natural results that last a lifetime. Because of the time and dedication necessary for perfecting the surgical technique, only a select few are performing the procedure with consistent successful results. It is important to choose a hair transplant surgeon that has been vetted and proven to provide excellent patient results. Many find popular hair loss forums to be helpful when researching a particular surgeon. Hair loss forums are ideal for seeing unbiased and unfiltered patient results.
