Pattern Hair Loss Treatments

When it comes to scientific leverage, Minoxidil is it. Minoxidil is one of the hair loss treatments which received FDA approval to treat hair loss. It has been tried and tested since the 1980s. Initially, it was introduced as an antihypertensive. As a hair loss treatment, it is a vasodilator so that it widens the passageway of the blood in the scalp. Still it remains inconclusive how the entire mechanism directly results in hair regrowth.

Only a 2% Minoxidil solution is advisable to women while a 5% solution is to men. It is assumed that Minoxidil is more effective for women than for men because women only experience a diffuse hair loss pattern.

Laser Hair Loss Therapy

Laser Hair Loss Therapy

The mere sound of “laser therapy” can scare people off – especially those with pattern baldness. Even when all hope seems gone, they may not buy the idea because of the lack of available information. Whilst laser hair loss therapy still needs a wide-scale scientific backing, this therapy has been proven safe and effective to treat male- or female-pattern baldness.

Laser hair loss therapy takes a while before it produces results. Home laser therapy—that is, using laser combs—can produce visible results as early as 12 weeks. Within a year, there should already be satisfying results. It is worth mentioning that laser therapies need patience and continuous usage for results to stay.

Male Pattern Baldness

Male Pattern Baldness

Physicians have proven that male pattern baldness is caused by genetics in which genes in the body transform big amounts of testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This Dihydrotestosterone hormone is disastrous to the hair follicles which cause them to be miniaturized and damaged.
