Best Hair Loss Treatment

Hair loss treatments have come some way in the last few decades. No longer does a balding man have to resort to surgical implants or wearing a hairpiece. Let’s find out more.

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 receding hairline and bald spots.

Finasteride was originally a prostate cancer drug but was also found to reverse hair loss and even encourage hair regrowth. Minoxidil was originally a drug used to treat high blood pressure but was also found to have good abilities to help with hair loss and regrowth.

Minoxidil usually comes as a liquid or a foam and must be rubbed into the scalp daily. There are two strengths available. Men will experience greater hair regrowth with the stronger version but the side effects are also more severe. You should monitor your blood pressure while using Minoxidil as it can lower the blood pressure significantly.

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 Treatments

As I mentioned earlier, all these treatments work in the same way. You want to stimulate the hair follicle. To this end, there are many natural ingredients that indigenous tribal people have been using for centuries, way before drugs or lasers were invented.

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.

Do you enjoy combing over that bald spot? Wish you could stop balding and even regrow some of your old hair back? If you want to experience new hair growth and eliminate your bald spots and receding hairline Hair Loss Conquered might be just the solution your looking for. This is a great step-by-step instructional guide to stopping your hair loss and regrowing your hair.
