Advice on Hair Loss Prevention, Treatments and Hair Restoration

Talk to Your Doctor about the Right Hair Loss Drug

There are a variety of over-the-counter treatments for hair loss, but finding the right hair loss drug for your own situation should include a trip to your doctor. Often, he or she will recommend hair replacement with Propecia, a prescription medication by Merck that is so effective that 90% of the individuals who use it see results.

Propecia is recommended for male pattern baldness, the type of balding where thinning occurs in a circular formation on the top of the head and gradually grows larger as time goes on. Many hair loss products and drugs on the market provide some hair replacement without actually addressing the specific problems associated with male pattern baldness, which is caused by an excess of DHT, a hormone that triggers shedding of hair. It also stimulates new growth as DHT levels are stabilized.

Because it is a prescription medication, Propecia has gone through numerous drug trials to prove that it is safe as well as effective, something everyone should think about when looking for a treatment for such a condition. In fact, there was not only slowed loss of hair, but replacement of hair in the clinical tests. In most tests, results were seen in as little as three months, and were a gradual, natural-looking progression.

Propecia is an FDA appproved hair loss pill, usually taken once daily, that stimulates healthy, thick growth. Some drugs may cause you to develop a “peach fuzz” appearance, but hair that is grown in to replace what’s been lost when you take Propecia is the same as your original hair (and in some cases may be even thicker). So if you’re considering medical treatment because you’re losing your hair to male pattern baldness, talk to your doctor about your options, including drugs such as Propecia.
