Many people want to deal with their hair loss but they so have the slightest clue as to what causes it so they don’t really know how to treat it. Most remedies that are applied to the scalp are worthless. The cause of pattern hair loss is a shrinking of the hair follicle which is the part that hair that is also known as the root. This shrinking is cause by DHT a hormone in the blood stream. In order to save the hair follicle and thus the hair shaft you must keep the nutritional flow going to the hair. Most topical remedies do not get absorbed through the skin so they do no good. An exception to this is Minoxidil which is an FDA approved drug that helps to increase blood flow to the follicles.

If you are going to spend money on a remedy for applying to the head and it doen’s contain minoxidil then don’t even waste your time, it won’t work. In order for hair restoration and replacement to work you need to treat the root of the problem not what is on the surface.

One of the biggest complaints men have about growing old is loss of hair and male pattern baldness. This is a bigger concern than heart disease, cancer, and obesity. Hair loss is looked at as a loss of virility in men which is probably why it is such big concern.

There are many treatments for hair loss. There are drugs but these can have bad side effects like rashes and even birth defects in women. There are hair replacement systems which is a fancy way to say toupee’. The problem is a hair system has a nasty habit of falling off at the most inopportune time.

Currently the best alternative for the treatment of male pattern baldness is hair implants. There are very rarely any side effects after a few days and since they are actually growing there is no concern about them falling off in the swimming pool.

Hair implant surgery can be performed as an outpatient in the doctor’s office and can be accomplished in one day. By far the best choice is hair implants.
