Finding The Best Hair Loss Treatment
The best hair loss treatment – is there such a thing? Many men are looking for the ultimate in hair loss treatments: quick, easy and without side effects. Does such a thing exist? Stay with me as I review the leading treatments for hair loss.
There are currently two drugs on the market that have FDA approval for use in treating hair loss. Soon there will be a third.
Minoxidil is one of two FDA approved treatments for hair loss. It was originally developed for treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) but was found to have a beneficial side effect – some men reported their hair loss stopping and even experienced regrowth of hair in their balding areas.
Finasteride was originally a drug for men with prostate enlargement. But many men also found that it stopped their hair loss. Unfortunately there are side effects such as breast gland enlargement and erectile dysfunction.
Finateride and minoxidil both must be used every day and the results are not guaranteed. Nevertheless, most men experience a slowing or cessation of receding hair line and hair loss and a great many men also experience reactivation of hair follicles that had previously stopped growing hairs.
Actually, men with male pattern baldness have a greater propensity for getting prostate cancer so it has been known for some time that DHT is linked to both prostate cancer and male pattern baldness. It is generally only prescribed for men because if women even touch trace amounts of the drug they can harm an unborn child.
Natural cures often get a bad press because there are many con artists out there selling useless remedies. For example, there are a number of natural hair supplements out there that claim to stop your hair loss. Whilst nutrition is important and I do advise getting specific nutrients in your diet, they alone will not stop your hair loss and are only part of the solution. So please be skeptical of any claims by supplement manufacturers that a single pill will be the magic bullet cure for your hair loss.
The principle is very similar to the drugs above – specific substances can encourage circulation and better nutrition to the hair follicles, as well as inhibit DHT – the male androgen linked to male pattern baldness.
