Posted by Manny Y on 6th Apr 2015
Lifestyle Changes / Stress Management
This is actually the simplest and most basic hair loss treatment approach. For guys who have experienced sudden hair loss, This can be due to physical and emotional stress. Many are not aware that high levels of stress of pressure and anxiety can push massive numbers of hair to go into the resting phase. After a few months, these hairs suddenly fall out causing substantial hair loss.
Oral Hair Loss Medications
Currently, the most popular oral drug to treat hair loss is Finasteride (Propecia). It’s mode of action is to inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha reductase preventing the conversion of testosterone to DHT, thus it is used to treat male pattern baldness. The medication should never be used by women and children.
It is also contraindicated in men with liver problems and prostate disorders. The side effects include headache, breast tenderness, testicular pain, dizziness, skin rashes, and male sexual dysfunctions. Recently, much concern has been focused on unwanted effects like decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased semen quality. Apparently, these side effects will go away after stopping the treatment. But for Propecia to be effective against hair loss, it should be taken in a constant daily dose.
Laser Treatment
Laser therapy is a potentially effective non-surgical hair loss treatment approach. Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT is a low-power laser administered to the scalp and has been shown to boost the health of existing hair as well as promote new hair growth. Previously, this was only available in hair clinics. Laser Therapy can now be done at home using HairMax LaserComb. This FDA-cleared device allows convenience of hair loss treatment at home while spending only a fraction of the cost compared to hair clinics.
Topical Preparations
Minoxidil was originally intended as a treatment for high blood pressure and it was found out that one side effect of the drug is hair growth. A topical solution was then manufactured to treat baldness, hence the birth of Rogaine. This should be used every day as the effect on hair growth is only temporary and can disappear within months after stopping treatment.
Common side effects include burning, irritation, changes in hair colour or texture, and unwanted facial hair growth.
