Exploring the Best Hair Loss Treatment Options for Men

Are you dealing with hair loss and looking for a way to treat it? Luckily, there’s been a lot of advances in hair loss treatments lately. Read on to learn about the different treatment options for men.

Did you know that by age fifty, eighty-five percent of men will experience thinning hair? Although it may sound like a shockingly high number, it’s true.

And it’s not just men who need to worry about hair loss. Women may experience thinning hair at any age as well.

If you or someone you love is concerned about hair loss, keep reading. We’ll review the most common hair loss treatments and how they work to help you decide what’s right for you.

Candidates for Hair Loss Treatments

So, who should consider seeking help for hair loss? These are the most common cases which merit treatment.

  • Those experiencing hair loss due to any kind of alopecia
  • People who have thinning hair because of illness
  • Men or women desiring to regrow hair following hormonal changes
  • Anyone who is unhappy with hair loss due to normal aging

No matter what the contributing factors are, everyone deserves to feel comfortable with how they look. Here are a few of the hair loss treatment options you should know about.

Topical Solutions

If you’re looking for over-the-counter hair growth products, check out topical solutions. They work because of a drug called Minoxidil, which widens hair follicles and extends the growth of each strand.

If Minoxidil is applied to the scalp twice a day, it may work as an effective baldness cure for some. However, it should be noted that this drug only works when used continuously. Also, only around ten to fourteen percent of users experience hair growth.

Topical solutions can be found in most drugstores. They’re usually marketed as a creme or hair growth shampoo.

Prescription Medication

Another hair loss treatment option is prescription medication. This is a tablet medication which is approved to treat hair loss.

If you think that prescription meds might be right for you, talk to your doctor about all of the possible side effects to see if you’re a good candidate. And, be aware that these meds are only approved for men.

Scalp Micropigmentation

If you want the appearance of a shaved, full head of hair without any medications or chemicals, scalp micropigmentation is the best option for you. This procedure is a non-surgical way of depositing pigmentation into the dermal layer of the scalp.

When administered by an experienced professional, the tiny dots of pigment will look just like your natural hair follicles. 

Wrapping Up

As you can see, there are many hair loss treatments available for men and women today. From topical solutions to pills and pigmentation procedures, your choice only depends on your preference and what makes you feel comfortable and confident.

Use the guide above to aid you in deciding which method is best for you. And remember to consider the statistics and side effects linked to each treatment before making your selection.
