There are many types of hair loss
treatment methods available in the market, but which one constitutes the
best hair loss treatment? Answers from different experts differ, some
because of self-interests in products they are promoting, but they all
agree on one thing – being able to identify the actual cause of the hair
loss problem holds the master key to a successful treatment. So what
works for one person may not work for another basically because the
cause of their hair loss is different. Let us now take a look at some of
the best hair loss treatment available in the marketplace.

Hormonal Tune-up

Hormonal changes in the body may also result in hair loss. One of the
most well known one in this category is postpartum hair loss – which
usually happens to women after they had given birth. Hair loss may also
occur when one reaches the menopausal stage, suffering from acute
stress, traumatic experiences or even anxieties because of hormonal
upheaval within the body. Hormones secreted from pituitary glands and
thyroid glands may also cause hair loss known as hypothyroidism. When
the cause is hormonal imbalance, doctors would normally prescribe
specific medicine to treat it.

Anti-androgenic therapy

This therapy is used to treat hair loss due to genetic causes. In most
cases, there is an excessive secretion of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT),
which is a biologically active metabolite of the hormone testosterone.
DHT is found to be the main culprit for causing baldness in men. When
doctors come across hair loss problem which is due to an excess of DHT,
more often than not they would prescribe their patient to undergo
anti-androgenic therapy. The problem with this form of treatment is that
it is time-consuming, and treatment may last even for a year or more.

Hair Transplant

When hair loss has reached a severe stage and no treatment seemed able
to address the problem, hair transplantation is usually prescribed for
both men and women. The newer systems available are now able to provide
very good treatment by way of stimulating hair follicles in the affected
areas to the extend that it is often difficult to determine the
post-operative areas from the normal ones. But hair transplant is beyond
the reach of the masses because it is relatively expensive. Similar to
other surgical procedures, it does have its share of risks (such as
getting an infection, bleeding, or pain during and after surgery), but
such risks are now greatly minimized due to advancement in technology.

Alternative Treatment

For those who avoid chemical-based treatment like plague, there are
alternative approaches available to achieve hair regrowth and
regeneration, such as by using herbs or Ayurvedic treatment. Ayurvedic
medicines is claimed to work by preventing excessive oiliness or dryness
from happening on the scalp. It also helps to raise immunity levels,
thus restoring normal hair growth. This type of treatment often uses a
wide variety of herbs such as Tulsi, Basil, Aloe Vera and Neem. The
Ayurvedic way also prescribes the intake of nutritious meals, and
drinking plenty of water to keep the body clean.
