Male Hair Loss

Treatments

 

There are various male hair loss treatments , which have been proven to stop male hair loss, and in some cases even re-grow lost hair. There are two major types of male hair loss treatments, the pharmaceutical ones and the natural ones.

The drug- based treatments Propecia and Rogaine (Minoxidil) seem to be effective with a number of men. There are two concerns with these products, that of side effects, and the fact that if you discontinue this type of treatment, hair regrowth will stop, and male hair loss may resume.

Alternative Male Hair Loss Treatment

Diet has always been very important to good hair health. Sometimes we men get so tied up in the everyday business of living we may pay attention to what we actually put in our bodies. Also many of us eat everything that comes along, sometimes to our own detriment. Good news men, red meat can be good for your hair! On the other hand green leafy vegetables can help your hair health, as can fruits and berries. Silica and Iron are contained in them and are very important for hair health.

Nutrition plays a very vital role for our hair care. The hair follicles which are in an active growth phase are strong and healthy compared to those which are in the resting stage. A steady flow of proper nutrition is essential for hair follicles to grow and produce healthy hair fiber. A balanced diet which has the natural vitamin supplements, proteins and mineral and health supplements is able to provide natural nutrition to the hair follicles. If the already weak hair follicles do not get proper nutrition they become more prone to shedding.

Naturally based topical serums, gels and sprays are available to topically apply to the scalp. They usually work in combination with a special shampoo. Specially formulated natural supplements are included in these systems which are designed to augment the topical treatments. These are all complete systems that are desined to work together to clean the scalp, stop the root cause of the hair loss and provide nutritional building blocks to help your body regrow hair. 

Two of the best reviewed natural or combined hair loss treatment systems are  ProFollica and Provillus.

Laser Hair Loss Treatments

Alternative methods of laser hair treatments for male hair loss have also been developed.

First, there was the Laser Comb, which employs low-level laser light technology to encourage hair follicles to regenerate. People using the handheld device are recommended to spend 20 minutes a day running the comb through their hair. Since it was first introduced the Laser Comb has been improved and is more effective. Sounds weird, but it has worked in manay cases.

There is also a laser light helmet in use for hair regeneration which focus laser light on the scalp.

There are many different forms of male hair loss treatment and many of them are reportedly effective.

Causes of Male Hair Loss

 Male pattern baldness is the most common form of male hair loss and is estimated to affect 90 percent of men by age 50.

 

Male Hair Loss Caused By Male Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common reason for hair loss. It’s related to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a naturally occurring hormone present in all men. DHT has a detrimental affect on the hair follicles.

It slows down hair production and causes new hairs to be shorter and weaker than usual. DHT can even completely stop hair growth, gradually depleting your stock of hair.

Men typically blame their mother for their hair loss, as it was widely understood that hair loss is simply inherited from their mother’s side. This is just one of a number of common hair loss misconceptions, so you can stop blaming Mom’s side of the family. Just get a good male hair loss treatment and start that to regrow that hair.
