Hair loss is one of the most serious problems that men face on their entire lives. When the first signs of balding ensue, men make it their serious business to look for the best possible treatment there is in the market—and there are several to choose from. But which of these products are really effective? And which ones would be able to deliver their promised results at a given period of time?
Before looking for a hair loss product that would best suit your type of alopecia, it is best to consult a physician who knows the science of hair restoration. And it is also imperative to ask which medicines would give the fastest results at a certain budget.
1. Topical Solutions
There are many different types of treatment to choose from. The most popular type is the topical solution. Topical solutions are products that patients must apply on the scalp of the affected area at least once or twice each day. Rogaine is a famous topical solution which is sometimes combined with other chemicals to come up with the best results. Most of the patients who have religiously applied these solutions report to having hair growth in about three to six months of daily use. Each of these solutions are priced at $30 50 each (good for one month). About thirty percent of those who use this type of treatment also report scalp itchiness (brought about by the constant hair stimulation). Those who are bent on treating their hair loss at a daily regimen would do best to settle with this form of treatment.
2. Hair Loss Pills
There are also pills called hair loss supplements that can be taken to fight hair loss. Just like topical solutions, these supplements are taken on a daily basis and are known to be 66 effective. Unlike topical solutions, though, they have to be taken orally and would need maintenance so that the new hairs would be kept alive. Hair loss pills’ prices range at $40 50 (for a month’s supply). The reported side effects are scalp itchiness, some allergic reactions, swollen face, and even testicular pain.
3. Hair Transplant
Hair transplants are also proven to be effective treatments. Physicians do this operation by getting some hairs from the back of the patient’s neck and transplanting them to the affected part. With this treatment, there is a 100 guarantee on getting back the patient’s physical appearance before the hair loss took place. A month or so after the procedure, the transplanted hairs would fall off and then new hairs would grow at the same spot.
Hair transplants are priced at about $4,000 10,000 and the price depends on how many hairs are going to be taken from the patient’s nape. The side effects for this type of treatment are swollen head, a numbed sensation on the patient’s head, eye pain, and also constant headaches.
4. Natural Remedies
Blood circulation is an important part on having healthy hair. That is why, majority of the natural remedies for hair loss are meant to improve the circulatory system. The following are the most popular natural treatments for alopecia:
Rosemary allows blood to absorb nutrients and carry them to the hair follicles.
Ginkgo reduces blood platelet stickiness and it also dilates the blood vessels.
Horsetail has silica which is an important factor in keeping healthy nails and hair.
Prickly ash promotes normal blood circulation especially to the extremities.
Echinacea boosts the immune system
Oat extracts maintains hormonal balance.
Hair loss need not be endured anymore there is hope for those who seek them. It’s only a matter of choosing which treatment would best suit any particular patient.
