Even in the worst case, it is possible to slow hair loss by stimulating vital functions regularly using certain drugs. These drugs, usually in the form of lotion usually require a twice-daily application on the hair. They contain molecules of minoxidil and finasteride (Propecia), only molecules that have demonstrated their effectiveness in scientific studies (American and European). Whatever the treatment, you should know that it will be more effective than we have an early diagnosis of hair loss.
Finasteride (used in other treatments) proved very effective in treating baldness. This molecule has a mode of action localized in the roots that inhibits the conversion of testosterone into DHT and therefore, slows hair loss. As for the molecule of minoxidil (lotion 5% concentration) stimulates blood circulation and the cells at the base of the root hair, slows hair loss and promote their regrowth. Lotions most effective against baldness, usually combine these two molecules with complementary effects. The molecule of minoxidil is marketed since 1987, it is considered by many dermatologists as the most effective treatment in men as in women cons hair loss.
Unlike lotions sold without a prescription minoxidil concentrated to 5%, requires for its purchase, in some countries, a prescription issued by a dermatologist or GP. What you should also know is these treatments as effective as they are, can lead to different results depending on the patient, that some side effects may occur, and once started, treatment should not be interrupted so that the hair loss resumes. It takes several weeks of treatment to observe its effects and in all cases, it is recommended to consult a doctor or a dermatologist before starting treatment ..
Tomorrow, maybe the end of baldness
Proteins capable of transforming undifferentiated cells in hair follicles and hair, were recently discovered. The localized injection of these proteins could allow the hair to grow back even on completely bald areas. Several laboratories around the world, mainly in England, began the study on humans of this protein.
Another technology, that of hair cloning involves taking a patient’s scalp cells to multiply in the laboratory and reinjected into the patient’s scalp to those cloned cells permettrent regrowth of new hair.
The ways of research are bringing hope to all those who lose their hair and suggests baldness or tomorrow will not be a bad memory.
