Top 5 Remedies For Hair Loss

The majority of people get concerned about their hair loss. There are several factors that contribute to hair loss, including aging and genetics, although both may play a role. The root cause of hair loss determines which therapies will be most successful.

Androgenetic alopecia, another name for male pattern baldness, is a hereditary condition. Over half of males over the age of 50 have it. As you become older, it's impossible to stop your hair from falling out completely. The process may be slowed down, though, using treatments and cures. Find out which products have shown some potential in treating and preventing hair loss before you go out there and purchase vitamins and special tonics.

Nonetheless, here are the top 5 remedies for hair loss that you might discuss with your doctor at New Hair Clinic:

1.  Prescription or OTC Medications

Two drugs for the treatment of male pattern baldness have received FDA approval:

●        Mineral Oil (Rogaine): Rogaine is offered over the counter as a liquid or foam. To promote hair development and stop hair loss, apply it to the scalp twice daily. Results from minoxidil may be seen after 4 to 6 months. Application and dose are other factors that affect results.

●        Finasteride (Propecia/Proscar): You should take finasteride every day. Only a doctor's prescription is required in order to get it. According to the FDA, it typically takes at least 3 months of regular administration for the medicine to start working.

It might take up to a year for minoxidil and finasteride to start working, and you'll need to continue using them to preserve the advantages.

2.  Hair Transplant

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE) are the two most common hair transplant techniques. The more "traditional" approach is FUT. Remember that both hair transplant treatments are surgical, which means they may be costly and sometimes uncomfortable. Additionally, there are risks, including infections and scars. To get the desired results, you may need to undergo repeated hair transplant procedures.

3.  Laser Therapy

For certain kinds of hair loss, such as alopecia areata, laser therapy is considered to lessen the inflammation in the follicles that prevents them from regrowing. LLLT (Low-level laser therapy) can promote hair growth for different kinds of hair loss. Only a few pieces of research support the efficacy of laser hair loss therapies. However, recent research found that when used to treat male pattern hair loss, LLLT is both safe and effective.

4.  No Smoking

Tobacco smoke has been shown to cause a wide range of health problems in smokers. However, did you think that smoking may cause hair loss? More than half of males who did not smoke, according to a study by a reliable source, reported experiencing some degree of hair loss. Quitting smoking may help reduce hair loss in smokers.

5.  Scalp Massage

In a small trial involving nine healthy males, a daily four-minute massage was shown to be beneficial. Massages not only make you feel good, but they may also help slow down the thinning of your hair. Massage of the scalp stimulates the hair follicles. Healthy Japanese males who had daily scalp massages for 24 weeks had thicker hair after the trial, according to research. In addition, recent research indicates that scalp massages are linked to an increase in hair density.

To Conclude

Hair loss is a frequent occurrence, especially in those who have pattern baldness. There are a number of possible treatments available for those wishing to prevent hair loss or restore hair. Depending on the individual, each solution may or may not be beneficial. So, discuss your hair loss treatment options with your doctor.
