For Effective Hair Loss Treatment PA Residents Should See A Specialist

By Henry Wagner


Alopecia, the fancy term describing the process of losing hair, is afflicting millions of people from every country and culture. Men, especially, suffer from the condition and often from a very early age. The majority of people will accept this as a fact of life, something that happens sooner or later. Many others, however, will go to great lengths to reverse or prevent the process. For the very best hair loss treatment PA residents should rather get advice from a professional.

There are many causes for Alopecia. In a large number of people the condition is genetic and cannot be prevented. Many others experience losses due to medical treatment such as chemo and yet others go bald due to a disease of the scalp, too much exposure to ultra violet rays and a neglect of the scalp. In some cases the condition is temporary but in may others the losses are permanent.

One of the best known and most effective ways of treating male pattern baldness is through the use of Finasteride. It is taken in capsule form, once a day. More than a third of men using it regain at least some growth after using the capsules for a year and another third shown much more significant regrowth. In more than ninety nine percent of cases it prevents losses altogether.

Both men and women have experienced success with Minoxidil, an ointment that is massaged into the scalp once a week. Fifty to eighty percent of users say they experienced much less loss than before and about twenty percent of users report new growth. Using Minoxidil for long periods can, however, result in dermatitis. It should therefore be used with care and for short periods only.

Some people opt for surgery. In this case, small quantities of hair is taken from the side of the head and transplanted to the bald areas. The transplanted growths will not fall out again and they needed to be treated just as the rest of the head is. The transplants will continue to grow.The drawback is that transplants are extremely expensive and it may take between eight and twelve months before the results can be appreciated.

There are a number of home remedies that are reportedly highly effective. Massaging the scalp once a week with coconut oils will help promote growth and keep the scalp healthy. Onion juice is very high in sulphur, which improve the blood supply to the follicles. It is also highly effective in the treatment of scalp infections which can also cause losses. Aloe Vera is said to bring the Ph balance of the scalp to the correct level.

In some cases hair losses simply cannot be prevented but the majority of people can avoid losses. It is important to keep the scalp clean, washing with a mild shampoo at least every second day. Drastic styling, very hot straighteners and prolonged use of dryers can also cause damage and subsequent losses. Too little protein, fatty acids and eggs, nuts and seeds can also accelerate losses.

Many people accept baldness as a part of life and many people even find bald people very attractive. Many others, however, treasure their hair and will do almost anything to preserve it. Sadly, short of wearing a wig, there is no instant miracle cure for baldness and thinning.
