Let me throw out some statistics right at the start—Male pattern hair loss affects half of all men above the age of forty. So, there is a 50-50 chance for you to experience hair loss if you haven’t experienced it already.
In such a scenario, a question like how to stimulate and increase hair growth is bound to spur up. A hair regrowth treatment for men can be performed in four different ways:
Surgery Surgical methods as in hair transplantation are not hair regrowth treatments per se as they do not address the cause of hair loss. Surgery involves removing portions of your scalp with healthy hair follicles and transferring them to the hair loss areas. It is not the most convenient option for getting the hair back; that is why prescription drugs or natural solutions are widely in use to fight hair loss. Natural Products Let me tell you one thing outright—there is no perfect hair loss treatment as such, though there are some promising over-the-counter products for sure. Those natural products helping with hair loss have all-natural ingredients like targeted amino acids, specific nutrients, and saw palmetto. Most such natural supplements work by blocking the production of DHT and supplying hair growth nutrients. The supplements have proved to be stopping hair loss, if not reversing it completely. As they don't have any drugs, the risk of side effects is small. Laser Therapy One exciting hair regrowth treatment option is use of laser therapy. Working by stimulation, these treatment increases blood flow to hair follicles. The laser and LED light used in laser therapy are both safe. Studies show that at the end of seven months, there is a 7% increase in hair density on an average with laser therapy. Drugs In recent years, a few drugs like Finasteride and Minoxidil have shown phenomenal results in hair regrowth treatment for men. Finasteride taken orally is essentially an enzyme converting testosterone into DHT. Drugs containing finasteride are prescription only and can cause many adverse side effects like depression, anxiety, risk for prostate cancer, sexual dysfunction etc. Minoxidil is a topical medication sold as Rogaine. It is available without a prescription. It has side effects such as itching, irritation, and dryness of the scalp. Thus, if going bald isn't a big deal for you, nothing beats that. But if it is, choosing the right hair regrowth treatment option is critical for your hair.
