Treatment Comparisons for Hair Loss

Forget what the conspiracy theorists have to say; there are some real, effective treatment options for hair loss. These products and techniques have been under development for decades, and many are quite reliable.

  1. DHT Blockers

    • Products like Propecia and Rogaine are FDA proven to stop follicle absorption of the testosterone-blocking hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is the primary cause of hair loss.

    Cleansing and Oxygenating

    • Hair loss is almost always a product of DHT binding, so all of the blood flow or oxygen boosting in the world isn't going to amount to much if you do not suffer from oxygen deprivation in the first place.

    Hair Transplantation

    • This method of restoration relies upon a surgeon to physically move hair follicles from your neck to head, and is generally the most reliable (if expensive) method.

    Synthetics

    • Some prefer to use synthetic or outside-sourced hair for implantation, but these results are often no the most aesthetically appealing.

    Finding a Doctor

    • The efficacy of a hair transplantation depends upon the surgeon. Finding a highly-recommended, pre-screened surgeon is the most important step in true hair restoration.
