TOP 5 OPTIONS IN TREATING HAIR LOSS

Hair loss has long been a problem for both men and women, a condition which commonly occurs among older age groups. Unfortunately, hair loss can now be seen among young teenagers. Hair loss is menacing, it can make you look older than your real age and it can drain your confidence.

Fortunately, there are effective treatment modalities to stop hair loss:

Life Style Change

Being fit and eating healthy is the simplest and most basic way in treating or preventing hair loss. Having a good diet will provide all the nutrients needed for hair to grow healthy. Remember to take your daily protein requirements because our hair is mostly made of protein.

Many of us aren’t aware that prolong exposure to stress can trigger hair loss. To best manage stress is to keep our body fit. Regular exercise, getting enough sleep and learning how to relax can be a very good stress reliever.

Oral Hair Loss Treatment

Currently, the most popular hair loss treatment is is Finasteride (Propecia). This drug stops the production of the hormone DHT, which is the cause of androgenetic alopecia or male pattern hair loss. This medication is not intended to treat female pattern hair loss.

Although Finasteride is an effective hair loss treatment, it’s side effects can give you second thoughts before using it. Common side effects are: headache, breast tenderness, testicular pain, dizziness, skin rashes, male sexual dysfunctions and loss of libido.

Hair Transplant

This is probably the gold standard when it comes to hair loss treatment. Hair transplants are highly effective, the survival rate for transplanted hair follicles are good because your own follicles are used; therefore, there is no rejection. If the procedure is done by a competent surgeon, the success rate is high. The downside with hair transplants is the cost.

Topical Treatments

Minoxidil was probably the first drug used for hair loss. In the past, It is was specifically made to treat hypertension, but many patients who took this drug noticed increased hair growth all over their body. So, it was reformulated as a topical treatment for hair loss. Unfortunately, as would any chemical based products, Minoxidil too have side effects like: burning, irritation, changes in hair colour or texture, and unwanted facial hair growth.

It contain amino acids, b complex vitamins and a proprietary blend of herbal extracts to encourage new hair growth, making Nisim Biofactors safe even after many years of use
