Hair Treatment for Alopecia

Overcoming alopecia, or pattern baldness, can be a process of trial and error. When selecting the best method for treating alopecia, three factors you must consider are affordability, effectiveness and the risk of side effects.

  1. Nutritional Supplements

    • Using nutritional supplements including Biotin, MSM and multivitamins is the most natural method for treating alopecia-related hair loss. One of the leading causes of alopecia is nutritional deficiencies in biotin, as well as the body's inability to absorb MSM. Even though you may follow a proper diet, the body may still have trouble breaking down and using certain nutrients, which can lead to hair loss.

    Hair Restoration Surgery

    • Undergoing medical procedures such as hair implants or plugs is very expensive. Medical procedures for hair replacement often pose risky and undesirable side effects such as swelling and uncomfortable itching.

    Topical Treatments

    • Daily use of topical treatments like multivitamins and herbal shampoos, conditioners and styling aids, or pharmaceutical topical solutions such as Rogaine, should be used in tandem with either surgical restoration or nutritional supplements to regrow the hair.
