A glaring patch of shiny scalp is about the last thing every teenager would want to be seen with. When a balding head would always have been instantly associated with a 50-something fatherly kind of person suffering from hair loss, the same wouldn’t exactly fit into a teenager’s picture of himself, and can cause serious confidence issues.
When this happens, most teenagers go for the ultimate solution: hair transplantation. Though this is an effective procedure when done by specialists for treating hair loss, this is not quite the best option for those under the age of 20 whose entire hair growth and progression pattern is yet to develop. Attempting hair transplantation at this age could lead to a very unnatural appearance later, when the actual hair growth pattern has revealed itself.
Moreover, this is an expensive procedure and requires the consent of the parents when the patient is a minor. Though many parents succumb and do give consent, it is important to make an informed decision after consulting a qualified restoration specialist. Hair transplants are best resorted to after the age of 30, when the entire hair loss progression pattern is revealed.
However, an interim treatment option that most doctors prescribe for those under 20 is a non-surgical treatment with oral medication, like Regaine and Propecia. These work by slowing down the hair loss and stimulating the follicles to produce healthier hair.
For those who have been instructed by the physician to try out Propecia or Regaine, we at Menscare can deliver it to you.
Hair loss is a problem that not many men are spared. Most men will have a problem of hair loss at some point in their life, but the only difference is the variation in the intensity of loss. When it is just a few strands once in a while, we just brush it aside as that natural daily shedding. But it is only when the scalp starts shining out do most of us sit up and take notice and seriously consider doing something about it.
Though hair loss is often treated casually by most of us – especially by those who have always had a healthy, thick mane – it is not an issue to be treated quite so lightly. Severe hair loss is often a harbinger of some underlying medical condition and sometimes the result of a hormonal imbalance.
Male pattern hair loss, for instance, is a condition caused where hair loss occurs due to the increased production of the male hormone DHT. The signs include a receding hair line and gradual balding at the crown.
However, as opposed to other kinds of hair loss, the good part about this kind of hair loss is that because the reason behind this problem has been found to be the hormone DHT, there is medication like Propecia that can arrest its production and stimulate the growth of hair again. So if you have noticed any such tell tale symptoms, consult a doctor or contact us at Menscare and make sure you get the treatment early on.
A stitch in time can save you the trouble of going for another eight.
You may not be concerned about those wads of hair in the bathroom drain. You may not be bothered about those strands on the bath towel. But you would be more than a bit worried when those patches of scalp start appearing from beneath your once luxuriant mane.
Though hair loss can be nipped right at the bud, many a time the initial warning signs go unheeded. Most people fail to pay sufficient attention until the hair loss monster manifests itself as a glaring bald head, when it is a little too late to get help.
There are certain forms of hair loss where some external oil application or massage can yield results. But when it comes to male pattern hair loss, these home remedies are just not the answer. This type of hair loss is a typical condition where hair loss starts as a receding hair line and slow balding at the crown which, if left untreated, will leave you with a meager horse-shoe shaped patch of hair around your head.
As this condition results due to the overproduction of a male hormone called DHT in the body, the only effective treatment would be to go for a medication that will arrest the production of this hormone. The most effective FDA approved medication that is now available for this condition is the oral drug Propecia. So, if you have noticed any signs of such hair loss, do not prolong in getting medical help. See your doctor today or just contact us at Menscare.
Quality matters, yet quantity does too at times – especially when it comes to those precious strands adorning the brazen looking scalp. There is an altogether different appeal to a voluminous mane of lustrous hair. Though most of us are not even that greedy to lust for such amazing volume, it is true that all of us do yearn for so much volume at least to cover those shiny patches of scalp showing from among the scant patches; combed cleverly to camouflage the hair loss.
Male pattern hair loss, characterised by a receding hair line and thinning of hair in the crown region, is a major cause of hair loss in men of all ages. The hair usually recedes from the forehead, forming an ‘M’ and the rest of the hair tends to become finer and shorter in length, and you might end up with just a ‘horse-shoe’ shaped patch of hair around your head in the end. It is not until you hit this stage that most think desperately of getting some proper treatment, and will have to finally settle with some hideous wig or some lousy implants because they are too late.
If treatment is sought early on, you can see amazing results with the oral hair loss medications that are now available. With Propecia and other oral medication in the market, treatment is not a hassle as one would imagine. So if you are losing hair do not prolong the agony and get some hair loss treatment here at Menscare.
For those agonizing over their apparent hair loss, the only silver lining is probably the myth that bald men are usually more virile than the rest of the male clan. Although this might sound like an appealing reward for going down the rough balding path, the sad part is that this is just another one of those myths stemming from bits and pieces of random facts.
This story most likely budded from the fact that high levels of the male hormone testosterone is responsible for male pattern hair loss. We know it is testosterone that keeps the men macho and virile. Although it is true that testosterone is responsible for virility, and MPHL is caused due to high levels of the male hormone, the fact is that this baldness is induced not by testosterone, but by another form of this hormone called DiHydroTestosterone (DHT).
DHT is formed in the male body by the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase, on the male sex hormone testosterone. Although this DHT is essential for generating male body hair and the development of male sex organs, high amounts of this hormone leads to shrinking of the hair follicles and male pattern hair loss.
So, if you find little balding patches appearing on your once abundant mane, do not sit back celebrating your virility. Medical help for hair loss is now easily available in the forms of oral medication such as Propecia, which you can even buy online from us at Menscare.
The strands of collagen and keratin that grow out of the little follicles on our scalp have the ability to make or break our looks, and consequently deserve a lot more attention than an occasional shampoo and conditioning. Most of us take our hair for granted and do not do anything special to maintain it or keep it looking healthy, until we notice our dense mane thinning out.
Hair needs to be nurtured and maintained to keep it looking healthy and luxuriant. For instance, many of us do not pay much attention to how we dry our hair. We come out of the shower and rub the towel vigorously against the hair to dry it partially, and head straight off to get the hair dryer for a quick blow drying. This can be extremely damaging to the hair, as it can damage the cuticle, break the strands and lead to split ends. So the best thing to do is pat dry your hair gently, along the direction of your hair, and in case of blow drying, make sure you apply some thermal spray.
Also, see to it that you do not take hair loss lightly. Most of the time hair loss could be an indication of some underlying disorder, or a harbinger of impending baldness. But, do not panic – there is treatment if you consult the doctor soon enough. There is prescription medication, like Propecia, which is found to be a very effective cure for hair loss. In case you need to buy it online, please feel free to contact us at Menscare.
