Most Effective Hair Loss Treatments
Proper hair growth treatment can help men solve their hair thinning problems. Below are the six most effective and popular hair loss treatments available today.
1) Minoxidil (Rogaine):
Minoxidil is medicine in liquid form that has to be applied in problematic areas where hair thinning is experienced. It is an effective solution in hair growth treatment.
A study of 11,000 people who used the topical application for at least one year found that 92% said Rogaine achieved fair to excellent results for slowing or stopping hair loss. Rogaine is most effective for people aged under 40 and who have recently experienced hair loss.
2) Micro Point Hair Restoration:
This is a non-surgical hair loss solution for people experiencing hair thinning or hair loss. Like other hair weaving treatments, the
Micro Point procedure involves attaching artificial hair to the pre-existing hair follicles.
The key advantage of this process is that the hair extensions used are stronger than natural hair while giving a completely natural appearance and can increase your hair volume substantially.
3) Hair Transplant Surgery:
Hair transplant surgery is the most famous hair thinning treatment in men. It’s a surgical procedure that gives long-lasting results. Two methods for the transplant are available, the Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) (also called follicular unit strip surgery) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).
4) Low-Level Laser Therapy:
Low-level laser therapy has become a popular alternative hair growth treatment. LLLT has become widely popular due to commercially available devices that can be used at home and are economically priced. They are also safe to use.
5) Finasteride (Propecia):
It’s an oral medication used to treat male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) at the crown and in the middle of the scalp. It is approved only for adult males because it can cause ambiguous genitalia in developing male fetuses.
6) Platelet-Rich Plasma:
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp. Plasma injections increase blood circulation hence resulting in increased hair growth.
