Here are some helpful tips about the different hair loss treatments available in the market. You need to be aware of the possible side effects of each treatment. To have a proper diagnosis and get the best fitting treatment it is advisable to see your doctor first before choosing any hair lose medication.
Minoxidil
Minoxidil or Rogaine / Regaine as its market's names is the other drug approved by FDA to treat hair loss. It used to be a prescription drugs for people suffering from hypertension but since 1996 it is also available to treat hair loss, as hair growth originally seen as an unwished side effect during medical treatment.
Even applied topically, Minoxidil may can have an effect on blood pressure and may lead to irregular heartbeat and chest pains. Weight gain is also noticeable to users who continue the medication for a longer while.
Finasteride
Known in its brand name as Propecia or Proscar, Finasteride is initially considered as cure to prostate problems. Also here it has been observed that men experience hair growth while taking the medication. FDA finally approved the drug as a hair loss remedy.
Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only two drugs are approved by FDA to cure baldness and Finasteride is one of them. However, serious problems like erectile dysfunction, decrease in sex drive, fewer ejaculations after sex, and gynecomastia (which is the enlarging of the breast) were observed by men taking Finasteride.
Dutasteride
More like Finasteride, Dutasteride (brand name Avodart) was also developed a treatment for prostate problems. It has a higher potency than Finasteride. For this reason, although not yet approved by FDA as a hair loss treatment, people are supporting the drug as a remedy for baldness. Also, it has been proven that Dutasteride reduced the production of an important hormone for baldness (DHT) by 93%. DHT or Dihydrotestostetone is the main mediator for men's baldness.
Similar to finasteride Dutasteride has the common side effects of other prostate drugs such as ED, less semen amount, gynecomastia, and reduced sex drive.
Hair Transplant
Beside the drug treatment there is another way to quickly restore the natural hair to the baldy areas. The method of hair transplant has improved vastly over the last few decades, and now has reached a point where it is worthy of praise and a standard within esthetic surgery (Schoenheitsoperation). The principle is easy to understand: Hairs are taken from the area of the rear head, where in most cases enough hairs remain, and is implanted in the front regions. The transferred continues to grow, the results of even long-lasting hair loss becomes invisible..
One of the oldest methods is called Strip Incisions. It mainly consisted of tearing a piece of the skin with hair on it, which is then removed and used to insert on areas, which require the hair. Another more recent method is called Follicular Unit Extraction, which mean that the hair is extracted in single grafts of 3-4 hairs.
In between to these two methods is the mini-micro grafting in which the number of hair is usually more, but mostly depends on the surgeon. In this process, narrow pieces of tissues are cut, making the grafts bigger. It requires a smaller team, and is less time consuming and expensive, and as a result is not as fine as the formerly mentioned method of FUE.
A hair transplant is a quick and mostly successful measure, but it does cost a lot of money. Therefore it is advisable to look for specialized websites dealing with this, like hair transplant in English or in German "Haartransplantation" and the the Forum Haartranstransplantation. In addition it is important to add a standard drug treatment after a hair transplant to slow down the process of loosing hair as much as possible.
