Baldness

Why do some men experience baldness?

Baldness is a result of the action of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, on hair follicles. While all men's bodies produce DHT, some men have a particular sensitivity to it and it can reduce the size of their hair follicles. This process continues over time, and once the follicles are reduced beyond a certain size they are no longer able to support hair growth, and baldness results. Fortunately, because the follicles are in other respects normal and healthy, effective baldness treatment can enable them to recover.

Seek baldness treatment at any time

Baldness can be prevented with proper treatment, and the earlier you start with your baldness treatment, the more likely it is that you will see positive results. Intervention during the early stages of male pattern baldness is therefore preferable, as this will ensure you arrest the hair loss process as swiftly as possible. Baldness treatment can however be beneficial even in relatively advanced cases of male hair loss.

Baldness treatments

Male pattern baldness treatments fall into three main groups. The first type of treatment for hair loss uses hormone therapy to prevent DHT from affecting the hair follicles, ensuring that they can continue to support hair growth. This kind of baldness treatment is highly effective and is now available to buy online in the UK from TrustedMeds. The second type of baldness treatment deliberately stimulates an allergic reaction on the scalp using diphencyprone (DPCP) which then encourages hair growth. Finally, hair loss can be treated or reversed through surgical procedures such as hair transplants, laser therapy, or so-called flap surgery. These surgical treatments must be carried out by trained surgeons, and there are significant risks associated with failure to carry them out properly.

Medical treatments for male hair loss

The most effective medical baldness treatment is Propecia Finasteride, which falls into the first type of treatment for male hair loss. It prevents DHT from affecting the hair follicles and can produce impressive results. In recent trials, 90% of the men taking Propecia Finasteride saw either regrowth of hair or no further hair loss, and a majority of men taking Propecia were rated as improved by doctors. Propecia can also prevent hair thinning.
