The Best Treatments for Baldness

Surgical hair transplant is a more active but a drastic procedure which involves transplanting the active hair follicles from other part of the head. This method best suits men. Though it does not create new hair, it redistributes the hair evenly over the head from the thick and abundant areas. However in this treatment, the baldness may continue to grow, so once you undergo this treatment, you should be prepared to repeat it.

There are many other non-surgical baldness treatments available today, which works by slowing down the spread of baldness. Here are a few baldness cures that have been proven over many years

Finasteride (Propecia) – It is a dihydrosterone (DHT) inhibitor prescriptive drug originally approved by the FDA. It blocks the production of a male hormone in the scalp that prevents hair growth. Propecia is proved to stop hair loss and promote re-growth in 80% of men around two years.

Minoxidil – This is another drug which received the FDA approval as the first non-prescriptive treatment for androgenetic alopecia. The drug has a vasodilating effect which induces the production of thick healthier hair, when applied topically as it promotes blood flow for the follicles to receive the nutrients.

Laser Light Therapy – The concentrated monochromatic light beams in the red spectral wavelength and fired at low intensities, the laser light can stimulate blood flow, causing better hair growth. It also helps in the protein synthesis for hair regeneration. Laser light therapy best suits people with increased shedding, so that they can keep the hair still they have on their head.

Cell Therapy – It is a new type of baldness treatment which increases blood flow to the scalp and re-awakens inactive hair. It is used in combination with the hair transplant therapy to promote better hair growth.

Hair Transplants – This is the best method to deal with baldness. However, it demands the skill and efficiency of a doctor. An experienced doctor will reduce scarring and creates a more natural hair-line.

Whatever the treatment may be, it is necessary to consider the lifestyle and diet. A low cholesterol diet which contains less saturated fat supplemented with fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A, B, C and E helps to check baldness. Regular aerobic exercises, yoga and meditation, which helps to keep away stress and anxiety can help a lot to prevent hair loss.
