While hair loss affects both men and women, male hair loss is more common. No men likes to loose his hair, and when it happens it usually has a terrible effects on his self-esteem. But hey, even if you’re a guy and your hair’s falling, you can still take control. Blow are the 3 most common ways to fight male hair loss:
- Surgery
Cosmetic surgery, although expensive, is used a lot to cure male hair loss. People are usually satisfied of the results. So if your wallet allows, a hair transplant or scalp reduction can be a quick and effective way to say goodbye to male hair loss. If you’re thinking about going this route, you must know that surgical hair loss cures can also be very painful and the carry the risk of infection. Also, as with other hair loss treatments, their effectiveness will vary form person to person. For more info, read my post about surgical cures here.
- Lowering DHT
One of the most common causes of male hair loss is an increase in the DHT hormone. This hormone is men’s #1 hair loss enemy. The DHT tends to make the hair follicles thinner and thinner, until they eventually wither away, causing the hair to fall. So one of the best ways to fight men hair loss is to fight this hormone in your system. Certain remedies, such as Provillus, actually lower or block the DHT in your system.
- Change of diet:
Since your diet can cause your hair to fall, another great way you can fight male hair loss is by modifying your diet. Add the right vitamins and you’ll see some improvement. The best vitamins to help fight hair loss are: Folic acid, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and the B vitamins. Folic acid helps promote cell growth, with in turn will produce healthy skin and hair regeneration. Vitamin E stimulates blood circulation. The B vitamins help produce melanin, an important element in giving your hair its color. Vitamin C helps in improving scalp circulation. The best way to incorporate these vitamins in your daily routine is by taking supplements, of course. But if you watch what you eat closely, you can balance your diet to make sure you include them.
Cosmetic Hair loss treatments
Oct 9th
There are two ways you can cure your hair loss issues surgically: hair transplants and scalp reduction.
- Hair transplants
When a hair transplant is performed, patches of hair are removed from another area of the scalp where the hair is healthy- most of the time the back or side. Hair from these areas are less likely to thin, even if they’re implanted in a different part of the scalp. Follicles from the patches are then implanted into the bald sections of the scalp. The procedure lasts from two to fours hours, and several transplant sessions may be needed to cover the whole bald area of your head. There is little pain during the surgery, due to the skin being anesthetized before the transplant starts. After the first few days, you might experience headaches, swelling and bruising around the eyes.
- Scalp reduction
The skin on your scalp is flexible and can be stretched out, which is why doctors can use the scalp reduction method to fight baldness. In a scalp reduction, small areas of the scalp are removed to decrease the bald area of your head. Then the skin will stretch to cover the whole head. Scalp reduction is usually combined with hair transplants because there will be visible scars on the bald areas of the scalp. If you’re considering this hair loss treatment, expect to pay from $2,000 to $10,000. This will vary from surgeon to surgeon, and also depends on other factors such as anesthesia, operating room facility, etc. As well as hair transplants, the side effects also include pain and swelling.
Only consider board-certified surgeons if you’re considering these procedures. Also, check patient feedback and consult with your doctor to review all options before proceeding with the surgery.
