Top Three Hair Loss Treatments for Men

By Christian Chandra


For some people, going bald may not be a stressful problem. For some others, however, going bald sometimes is considered fearsome. For people who regard their hair as their crown, hair thinning is a symptom that they always want to avoid. When their hair starts falling and symptoms of baldness start appearing at some parts of their head, they will start looking for the best remedy for the hair thinning problem that they are dealing with. Unfortunately, most of the time, the hair thinning problem is inevitable because it occurs on most people when they reach the later years of their age. Besides aging, other factors, such as hereditary baldness, prolonged high fever, malnutrition, and exposure to ionizing radiation, may also contribute to the development of this problem.





Fortunately, the problem with baldness is not something unsolvable. And in fact, there are several remedies and clinical treatments that are believed to be able to effectively overcome this problem. Some of those remedies and treatments are easy and inexpensive to obtain while some others are quite difficult and expensive. The following are the three most frequently used hair loss treatments for men:

1. Medication

There is a relatively large selection of medications that work well in treating hair thinning problems. Some of those medications are derived from natural ingredients, such as licorice root, horsetail, apple cider vinegar, green tea, and sage tea, while some others are made from synthetic ingredients, such as minoxidil and dithranol. Be careful, though, when you want to use synthetic medications because they may cause effects that you don't actually want. Minoxidil, for example, if used improperly, may cause irritation at the treated area and severe allergic reactions. Use natural hair loss treatments for men and avoid using synthetic remedies too excessively if you want to obtain the best result from your treatment.

2. Hair Transplants

Besides medications, surgical treatment can also be used to treat baldness. Since the late 1950s, a surgical technique has been developed to deal with male pattern hair loss problems. This technique involves the transplantation of hair tufts containing active follicles at the area where baldness occurs.

3. Cosmetic Treatment

This treatment involves the usage of hairpieces and wigs to cover the balding area of the head. Although this is not the best treatment for hair loss problems, many people still consider it the easiest way to hide their baldness.

Each of those treatments has both advantages and disadvantages. While natural treatment is safe, it requires you to wait before you can reap the result. Hair transplants, although able to provide you with quick solutions, are expensive. Therefore, think comprehensively before deciding to choose any of those treatments.
