Understanding Hair Restoration

Hair restoration has advanced with great strides in the past few years. Shady cures for mens hair loss have been offered since the Wild West by snake oil salesmen. There are still plenty of those around just check the ads in any guys magazine, right near the penis enhancers and erectile dysfunction cures. Medicine has made genuine advances in hair restoration for men facing thinning hair and baldness.

The discovery that 5-alpha-reductace inhibitors like Propecia and Rogaine stop or slow the progression of DHT hair loss has given men great hope. We have also seen dramatic improvements with surgical hair restoration. Male pattern baldness accounts for 95% of men’s hair loss and if recognized in time Propecia and Rogaine regrowth treatment can stop the hair loss and help restore hair.

In case where you have lost too much hair for Propecia or Rogaine to be affective there are hair transplants and weaves available. Other hair restoration techniques include wigs and hair pieces, laser scalp treatments and deep cleansing and massaging. There is of course the dreaded comb over favored by politician Carl Levin and Donald Trump.

DHT Hair Loss - Maxahair Treatment

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is what causes male pattern baldness which is the reason for 95% of mail hair loss. Clinical trials show that to stop and turn back hair loss from male pattern baldness you need to lower DHT levels. That is stop DHT hair loss. The natural process, which is heredity hair loss, is that Testosterone is converted to DHT by the naturally produced enzyme 5-alpha-reductase.

Some of us have inherited the inclination to produce the hair loss enzyme more than others.  DHT shrinks your hair follicles so the aim is to stop DHT. The two products approved by the FDA for treating male pattern baldness are Minoxidil and Finasteride. Both these products address the production of Dihydrotestosterone. It is important to note that any successful treatment of hair loss depends upon how early you intervene to stop DHT hair loss.  Time is of the essence for maximum benefits in getting benefits from thinning hair treatments.

Buy Rogaine Regrowth Treatment

When you are looking at hair restoration techniques it is important to ensure they have been approved by the FDA or recommended by the American Hair Loss Association. The key to what hair restoration technique is suitable for is how early in the hair loss cycle you are. The earlier you get treatment the more effective the 5-alpha-reductace inhibitors will be.

The important thing is if you suffer from hair loss there are solutions for your hair restoration.

Hair Restoration - Buy Rogaine Regrowth Treatment Online

Minoxidil Topical Hair Restoration

Minoxidil is the only FDA approved application that is clinically proven to regrow. Minoxidil topical is available at your local pharmacy or online under the brand name Rogaine or as a generic drug. However it is not a miracle cure for everyone. Look at it more as a hair loss retarder than a new hair growth drug. The cost needs to be considered also as if you choose Rogaine for Men or Women it is a long-term treatment for thinning hair. 

On average it is four months before you see tangible signs of minoxidil success. If you choose Rogaine or one of the generic minoxidil products you need to continue its use to maintain any benefits. Thus at two times a day the cost can add up, but there is no surgical procedure or pill intake. The results look natural which has made Rogaine so popular for those suffering from hair loss or women with thinning hair.

If you stop with the treatment you most likely be back to where you were after around three to four months. The new hair is often describes peach fuzz initially. It is soft and barely visible. Further into the minoxidil for men and women cycle though your hair will thicken to your existing hair. Thus your hair appears thicker and natural, using hair thickening shampoos like progaine and maintaining consistent cleaning of the scalp with assist Minoxidil 2 also.

Finasteride Treatment for Male Hair Loss

Like Minoxidil Finasteride was discovered by accident as a hair loss cure. Pharmaceutical giant Merck developed the drug proscar to treat men’s enlarged prostate glands. During the trials for Proscar men where growing hair as a side effect.  At this point in time Minoxidil was already on the market. Merck pursued the baldness cure to where in December 1997 Finasteride was approved by the FDA for the treatment of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).  Finasteride inhibits the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme. By stopping the enzyme testosterone is turned into androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which accelerates male pattern baldness.

The FDA approved a 1mg dose of Finasteride. Proscar and Propecia are the brand names of Finasteride. Tests show that Propecia's 1 mg dose of Finasteride helps lower your DHT levels by up to sixty percent.  You must continue taking Propecia daily for the effects to be maintained in stopping thinning hair in men. In the Merck trials 86% of men taking Propecia who received the up to 60% reduction in DHT saw their hair stop falling out. Around sixty five percent received a ‘substantial increase’ of hair regrowth.

You will note also there are a number of products available said to mimic these results. Some here on Amazon also, make sure you check the review. Anything to do with male hair loss means beware of snake oil salesmen.

Hi Billy,

We had a fellow who was a little of the page and when his hair started thinning he got the idea that chicken manure was going to solve his problem.

The end result was that after falling a sleep with a wad on his head, the acids burned his head quite badly. To day he has what one could dicribe as a polished dome.

Have a great day

Some hair restoration treatments have been less than honest in the past. Now the industry seems to be getting its act cleaned up and more reliance can be placed on the claims that are made for restoratives for male hair loss. May this continue.

I had to hit all your buttons because the idea of this 61 year old man growing hair on the top of my thinning head is funny. Bah! Humbug! Is there a guarantee for X # of $? Great hub Billy. I'm thinking a new derailleur might improve my sex appeal! I've got hair in my eye-brows that I pull out that are an inch and a half. What are those for? Maybe they could be transplanted. They have a great root system. Thanks Billy!

humagaia I agree thinning hair remedies have been the last bastion for snake oil charmers - if you stick with what the FDA allows you should be alright - wait on that is whole new story the FDA! Rogaine seems legit - if you use it every day!

My dad was bald and I always feared I would be bald too. Thank goodness that did not happen! Why is it that men who go bald seem to be hairier on the rest of their body?

Micky interesting thoughts with the eyebrows - that would have to ultimate comb over - Donald Trump would well have to out trump you with that thinning hair remedy~

billyaustindillon Hub Author 20 months ago

Boomer glad you escaped going bald - the reason men who go bald on the head and heavy hairy arms and chests is Testosterone - it causes the follicles on the scalp to fall out - which is what Rogaine is meant to impede but makes the hair visible elsewhere - a raw deal really!

Hi Billy,

Isn't this just another Vanity product designed to part Saddo’s from their hard earned currency ?

Going bald is one of those things that happen in life, if it was painful or life threatening they would have found a cure for it by now !

My Grandfather used to say, “ Grass doesn’t grow on a busy street....” Although Grandmother used to add, “Why thatch an empty barn ?”

Besides it's supposed to be a sign of virility, now if you will just lead me to a bald headed woman !

billyaustindillon profile image

billyaustindillon Hub Author 20 months ago

Merlin I always go with the sign of virility theory for DHT hair loss. I think if they found the cure they would be definitely be flogging it and yes our society is very much about appealing to the ego - as Frank Black would sing 'Hang on to your ego".

Chicken manure...no way!!! My husband goes along with the grass not growing on a busy street theory and it does not bother him nor me. He is very intelligent. Must be something to that theory. :-) Genetics plays the big role and for people who wish to spend the money and fight it, it is good to know that we have gotten past the worst of the snake oil days with legitimate products.
