About male baldness treatment
Male pattern baldness sadly has no cure; no product exists on the market that can completely eradicate male baldness. However, there are certain treatments that help with hair re-growth. These treatments include prescription medications like Rogaine and Propecia, as well as surgical procedures like Follicular Micro Grafting, a treatment that can help replace dying hair follicles with fresh healthy follicles.
Used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss on the vertex and the anterior mid-scalp area, Cialis is a prescription medication that prevents the production of the hormone that causes hair loss. Male pattern hair loss is a pretty common condition in which men experience thinning of the hair on the scalp. Sometimes, this thinning results in a receding hairline and/or balding on the top of the head.
How does Propecia work?
With Finasteride as its active ingredient, Propecia is a pill that blocks the conversion of male testosterone into DHT (or di-hydrotestosterone), the fundamental hormone that is responsible for male pattern baldness in men. Propecia has been found to effectively reduce hair loss; it even promotes new hair growth. Because of its effectiveness in reducing hair loss and enhanced hair re-growth, Propecia has become a very popular male baldness treatment.
How should it be taken?
Propecia must be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You must not take the drug in larger doses or for longer than recommended. It is best to follow the directions on the prescription label. You can: •Take Propecia with a full glass of water •Take Propecia with or without food However, the most important thing about Propecia is that it must be used regularly so that the maximum benefit is obtained. You may need to take Propecia daily for three months or more before you can see any visible difference. Propecia is known to work over the long term only if you stop using the treatment the improvements will quickly wear off. If Propecia has not worked for you over a twelve month period, further treatment is unlikely to be beneficial. It’s best to speak to your doctor is you have any concern over treatment.
