Hair Loss Treatments

Androgenetic  alopecia or balding is related to hormones and genetics and manifests itself as hair-loss resulting in thinning of the hair. Male Pattern alopecia, characterised by a receding hairline and/or hair-loss on the top of the head is an inherited condition, but can now be treated with a variety of medications.
If you suffer from Male Pattern Hair Loss , you are not alone as it is estimated that it can affect up to 50% of men at some stage of their lives.

What are the causes of Male Pattern Hair Loss?

Experts views vary, but often the cause of premature hailr loss in males is hereditary genetics, with hailr molecules being genetically more sensitive to DHT.

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) shrinks hair follicles to the point that they become so small that they are unable to replace any lost hairs.

Treatment

Male pattern hair loss isn’t just a cosmetic issue, it can affect the way you perceive yourself, and in some cases can negatively impact your life. Issues such as feelings of unattractiveness, low self-esteem and depression are common.
Fortunately however there are treatments available.
One of these treatments is Propecia. It has been proven to treat male Pattern hair Loss on top of the head and middle front of the head. The active ingredient in propecia is finasteride, which inhibits DHT activity, which is the main cause of baldness.
