The article
focuses on four broad approaches to treating hair loss, rather than
outlining individual treatments. By the end of Hair Loss Article
6 you'll have found a useful starting point to plan your own hair
loss treatment program.
Types of hair loss treatment available to sufferers
The hair loss treatments outlined here cannot provide definitive cures
for all hair loss conditions, but they do represent regimes that many
sufferers have found useful. In other words, they are examples of
potential solutions that many patients have chosen after honestly
assessing the causes of their hair loss together with their expectations.
This article will focus on four basic approaches:
1. A drugs based approach for those who don't mind taking
strong medications.
2. A commercial product approach for those who prefer
a non-drug solution but who still want a treatment that has a track
record.
3. A natural remedy approach for those who prefer to
follow the natural route.
4. A nutritional approach for those who wish to adopt
a more holistic perspective.
It remains a fact that only two hair loss treatments
have been approved by the FDA and both can be classed as strong
drug-based medications. Propecia (finasteride) is the treatment
of choice for many men with good reason - it tends to work! It is
a powerful drug that inhibits the formation of DHT in the system,
eventually to a level that is sufficiently low to encourage a normal
growth cycle. Rogaine (minoxidil) acts differently in that it stimulates
hair growth in both men and women by overriding the prevailing hair
loss symptoms. These drugs can be used either on their own or in
combination. Women should seek professional medical advice before
using Propecia.
The world of commercial hair loss products is much less
clear cut and it is here that many scamsters ply their trade to
rip-off unsuspecting customers. The best advice I can give here
is research, research, and more research! Many useful products are
available on the market but none have been approved by the FDA.
Probably the best, and certainly most popular, commercially available
products are those containing natural ingredients that have been
shown in field trials to reduce hair loss and encourage regrowth.
You can find out more about these products by visiting the site
listed at the end of this article.
Increasingly, people are turning to natural hair loss
remedies as they seek to combat thinning hair. This has an obvious
appeal for many sufferers and there is growing evidence to support
the view that some natural remedies may be effective in curtailing
hair loss. The most popular ingredients of natural hair loss treatments
include ginko biloba, green tea, he shou wu, pygeum, saw palmetto
and stinging nettle. Each of these is described in more detail in
an supplementary article entitled "Herbal Remedies That Offer Hope".
It is becoming increasingly evident that poor nutrition
and modern lifestyles can have a negative impact on health, and
hair loss is no exception. At the most basic level, improved nutrition
can minimize shedding and support other treatments that encourage
regrowth. This can be achieved by:
- eating adequate amounts of protein.
- eating appropriate levels of useful carbohydrates.
- achieving a healthy balance of dietary fats.
