| Best Hair Loss Treatments - Which Are Best at Stopping Your Hair Loss? |
The best hair loss treatments can appear to be quite difficult to find in among all the terrible ones. In this veritable minefield of choices, how can you know which will work and how to avoid the rip-offs? In this article, I'll give you a brief overview of your choices.
Surgery
Hair loss surgery normally entails the transplantation of hair follicles from one part of the head (normally the back) to the front of the scalp where the hair is receding.
It typically costs $20,000 and the results are by no means guaranteed. They are as variable as with other forms of cosmetic surgery.
"Natural" Pills
The supplements market is huge and for several decades some companies have tried to sell "hair loss formulas" that apparently stop your hair loss and help you to grow back the lost hair.
Upon reading the labels, you will normally find an abundance of different vitamins and minerals. So do they work?
Sadly, no amount of vitamins and minerals alone will do anything for your hair loss. At best, they will help you get a more healthy sheen or look to your hair if your diet is quite poor and otherwise leaving you deficient in necessary nutrients.
Drugs
There are only a handful of drugs available for treatment of male pattern baldness. Unfortunately, none of these were actually invented for this treatment originally - they were in fact made for treatment of high blood pressure and enlarged prostates. For this reason, they have a host of common side effects that can include breast development and even sexual dysfunction.
They also cost a great deal - several thousand dollars per year.
Natural Hair Tonic
These hair tonics use ingredients that precede drugs by several thousand years. At first, it may sound like a natural ingredient surely cannot stop your hair loss.
But on further investigation, such herbal hair tonics follow the same principles as drugs but without the debilitating side effects.
What's more - they cost a fraction of the price as you can easily make them at home with a few basic an cheap ingredients. |
