You’ll be surprised that hair loss, or alopecia, is a fairly common occurrence. Statistically proven, it’s more prevalent in older adults, but no one is safe from experiencing it, including children. Hair loss can develop gradually over years and it doesn’t usually signal a medical problem. Anyway, worrying about how it affects your looks is common.

Before you go out and buy supplements and special treatments, be sure to check with your hair loss doctor online or see a board-certified dermatologist to get an accurate diagnosis. It may help to choose the right treatment to help the hair grow more quickly or prevent further hair loss.

What Hair Loss Treatments You Can Discuss With a Doctor

The first step to picking the best hair treatment for men's hair loss is to learn which ones have shown some promise in preventing or treating this disease. A treatment plan for hair loss may include one or more of the following medications:

1.    Prescription and over-the-counter medical products:

• Minoxidil (Rogaine) appears to widen the hair follicle, which causes a thicker strand of hair to grow. It gives results after 4-6 months of applying but is more effective in individuals who are under 40 years of age.

• Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar) is more effective for baldness, which appears at the crown and middle of the scalp. Noticeable results will appear after at least three months of daily use.

These hair loss medications may have severe side effects, so you should exclude other variants of treatment before starting using them.

2.    Hair transplant procedures (follicular unit transplantation and follicular unit extraction) are popular but quite expensive. Sometimes, people need to apply multiple hair transplant treatments to get the desired outcome.

3.    Laser treatment showed a good tendency to reduce the inflammation in follicles, which keeps them from regrowth for some types of hair loss and seems to be the best hair loss treatment for men. Many patients saw overall thicker and fuller hair, but not everyone who used a laser saw regrowth.

What Hair Loss Treatment Will Fit You Most?

For any unexplained hair loss, it is best to see a healthcare professional. Only a doctor can determine the underlying cause and the best course of treatment. So, don’t waste your time surfing the Internet – the sooner you make an appointment with the dermatologist, the more likely they figure out the cause of your hair loss and determine the treatment that could help you regrow hair.
