Baldness cure - looking for an answer?

Everybody is searching for the best baldness treatment, but it is not easy job. Due to the time constraint and the cost of treatment, it is quite unfeasible to experiment all the treatment by ourself.Many researches have been done and here is my conclusion.

There is no such thing as irreversible hair loss remedy But there are treatments that can slow down or even assists to grow some of your hair.

Minoxidil (also known as Rogaine and Regaine) is a vasodilator verified to decelerate or stop baldness and promote hair re-growth.It is obtainable over the counter or can be found on internet stores. It is primarily utilized either in foam and spray method. Both method involve physical contact with hair strands, which may causestimulate problems with hair. The drug is efficient in treating hair loss at the top and back of the scalp.

Finasteride (marketed as Propecia and Proscar) is a antiandrogen which acts by suppressing type II 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that changes testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT)

Dutasteride (also known as Avodart in the market) was originally developed for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH Dutasteride like Finasteride, the active ingredient in Proscar and Propecia, also has the added benefit of being able to be used to treat genetic baldness in men also known as MPB or Androgenic Alopecia.

Daily, vigorous aerobic work out and a heart-healthy diet have been noted to reduce baseline insulin levels as well as baseline total and free testosterone. Lower insulin levels and reduced stress both result in raised levels of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) which in term reduce the amount of testosterone being converted to DHT. However, exercise has not been tested long enough as a baldness remedy.

Hair transplant is the only way that could regarded as baldness cure. During transplantation, hair follicles from the thick hair growing areas are transferred to the thinning bald areas. Technically, hair that has been transferred will not drop off as they are genetically resistant tohair loss. The down side of hair transplant are very expensive and is a highly specialized {job|task}.
