Hair Regrowth Treatment

If you are looking for hair regrowth treatment then you know that this is a difficult and tiring process. Desperate men try everything available off the shelf and by prescription, to find the best product for themselves. No hair regrowth treatment for men is complete if the solution is not a combination of DHT blockers natural products, such as vitamins and supplements.

Normally, hair does grow until a certain age. In case it fall more than growth – visible difference called balding appears. Androgenic Alopecia is a classic condition characterized by increased presence of DHT – Dihydrotestosterone in the scalp. Dihydrotestosterone is the reason of hair loss in male pattern balding. That is happening because 5-Alpha Reductase, a naturally occurring enzyme in the human body, reacts with testosterone and produces excessive amounts of DHT.

The most widespread hair regrowth treatment, applied by many people in America nowadays is a use of scalp medication. This commonly takes two forms – shampoos or topical solution and ingested supplement or medication. Half of the users, who have chosen ingested medication get the result – they see mild regrowth or a cessation of balding. Because of the great influence of lifestyle and genetics on the process of balding this doesn’t work for everyone.

Regrow Hair Shampoos

Also, regrow hair shampoos vary in effectiveness. For the most part, however, they actually don’t promote the regrowth of hair over bald spots, but instead increase the growth rate of the remaining follicle strands. Shampoos are more effective in case of mild balding, and in case of severe baldness oral medications are a better way. On a rather bizarre related note, some people actually discovered that some forms of herbal horse-hair shampoos used by professional horse breeders worked on humans too, and actually promoted hair regrowth over balding areas.

Hair Transplantation

If you can’t get the desired result with help of medication then scalp surgery is best hair regrowth option for you. The most widespread and proven type of scalp surgery is transplanting. To do this follicle is taken from one patch of the scalp and then grafted to the bald patches. People used to think that this make their hair look “artificial”. But, nowadays transplanting and grafting techniques have evolved to a point where transplanted hair looks absolutely normal if you aren’t inspecting extremely close. If the patient doesn’t have enough follicles for transplantation, some doctors use synthetic hair. These synthetic strands still look enough like the genuine thing to be visually acceptable, though their texture
feels tougher than real hair.

The second surgery method appeared recently. It’s newer and much more radical and involves actually transplantation of entire patches of scalp to bald spots. This method is theoretically a better long run solution because the transplanted scalp patch actually allows natural hair growth on the bald spot. However, since the techniques have yet to be refined you might not want to go for this method yet.

One more hair regrowth treatment is a lifestyle alteration therapy. This is applied when person is loosing hair due to non-genetic factors, such as constant exposure to harmful chemicals, bad diet and stress. After removing factors which were causing baldness, it can even help in regrowing hair. However, if the cause is genetics this hair loss treatment won’t suit you.
