Visit Hair-Medics.com for information about Minoxidol Oral finasteride is prescribed in tablet form – the correct dosage for the treatment of hair loss being 1mg per day. Some specialists suggest that finasteride applied in solution as a topical liquid, either on its own or in conjunction with minoxidil, can have a beneficial effect in reducing DHT levels in the scalp and hence slowing hair loss.Toupees, Wigs and Systems Some are very good but can be unnecessarily expensive. Many retailers simply buy in from a wholesaler and put on very large mark ups. Bear in mind with any form of toupee system (whatever the retailer calls it) if it is attached by means of anchoring to your existing hair, you will probably need to keep going back for servicing - sometimes even just to wash your hair. Q) Do hair transplants really work? A) Yes they do. In fact modern techniques performed by skilled specialists give extremely natural results. However, don’t expect too much. How much hair you gain depends upon how much donor hair you have available. Also, the surgeon should ensure that there is a sufficient reserve of donor hair to keep things looking natural should you lose more hair in the future. Dutasteride Dutasteride, like finasteride, inhibits the action of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase and hence blocks the production of DHT. However, there are in fact two forms of 5-alpha reductase and whereas finasteride only inhibits one type, dutasteride inhibits both types. At the time of writing Dutasteride is to be used for the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). However, there is much speculation that this substance would be a very effective treatment for hair loss and it is hoped by many that clinical trials specifically related to hair loss will be concluded. Like finasteride, it would be a male only treatment and, because of the nature of its action, could give rise to side effects such as loss of sexual appetite in certain individuals. |
