Advanced Methods for Dealing With Male Pattern Baldness

The gradual onset of baldness is one of the most common occurrences in men and a normal part of the ageing process. For some men, baldness is not a big issue and no treatment is needed. However the opposite can occur when the individual finds it embarrassing and even psychologically harmful. A lot of men who are losing hair or are left with a band of hair around the sides and back feel compelled to shave it all off and adopt the bald look. Others will seek solutions to their hair loss and here are 4 treatments that are the most popular at the moment.

Oral Treatments

Preventing baldness from the root source requires a suppression of DHT. Propecia is a daily pill that's clinically proven to prevent the formation of DHT without affecting testosterone levels. The hair follicles can then effectively get back to business as usual without their normal life cycle being hindered genetically.

Topical Solutions


Propecia can sometimes generate new
hair growth but the most effective treatment for this purpose is Minoxidil. It's a vasodilator which means it stimulates blood flow to the follicles, relaxes the tissues surrounding the follicle, opens up potassium channels and allows the deliverance of essential nutrients to the follicles to encourage continued growth.

Hair Transplants


Male pattern (Genetic) hair loss only affects the top and front of a person's scalp. This is because it's only the follicles in this area that contain receptors sensitive to the hormone that causes
hair loss. If hair is taken from the back or even from the side of the scalp (areas where the hairs are not sensitive to genetic hair loss), and transplanted to the top or front, the hair usually continues to grow and produces hair for life.

Transplant techniques have come a long way in the past two decades. The old punch graft technique became obsolete and is replaced by 'mini' and 'micro' graft transplantation. While the old punch graft technique often created an unnatural, 'doll hair' look, modern hair transplant techniques can create a perfectly natural appearance. Today's 'mini' and 'micro' graft technique allows single hairs or a natural group of 2 or 3 hairs to be re-planted in the direction of the individual's natural growth pattern.

Laser Therapy

These days surgical hair replacement is not the only solution available for thinning hair. Choosing the right combination of medically proven treatments such as Laser Therapy can not only prevent further hair loss, but regrow hair for many men and women who have experienced thinning. Results can frequently be experienced from the use of the right combination of treatments for your individual pattern and stage of hair loss. Results can be as good as, if not better than a transplant without the need for surgery.

hair replacement


Nowadays people use the terms hair replacement and hair systems interchangeably to refer to the same non surgical restoration procedure where human or synthetic hair is added to a thin base or foundation which in turn is attached to the scalp by a variety of methods

A hair system may be preferable to transplants because it is a non surgical option for hair loss. Nowadays, hair systems can look extremely natural and virtually undetectable by sight. hair systems are versatile and can work very well for almost anyone with hair loss. If done properly, you can have a gorgeous and naturally looking head of hair in relatively little time and style anyway you prefer.It is no longer true that hair systems are obvious to others unlike days gone by. In general, people wearing hair systems may engage in almost all activities like they normally do with their own hair.

As you can see going bald these day s no longer means you have to accept the situation and go without a healthy head of hair. Treatments have come long way and more importantly are giving results that have never been seen before so if you refuse to go bald take a look at one of the options above and see if it is for you.
