Help for Male Pattern Hair Loss

If you are a man between the ages of 18 and 41 who suffers from mild to moderate male pattern hair loss, you can stop that hair loss and even promote hair re-growth with Propecia.  Propecia is a once-a-day prescription drug approved by the FDA, Food and Drug Administration, for use in hair growth.

In a 5 year, clinical study of men with hair loss, Propecia helped 48% of men to grow hair and 42% to retain the hair they had.  The men who were in the placebo group continued to lose their hair.  Propecia causes natural, healthy hair growth and even improves the general appearance of your hair.  It stimulates hair re-growth in the area of the mid-scalp and on the top of the head. 

Two of the causes for male pattern hair loss are genetics and DHT.  Contrary to previous beliefs, hair loss is a trait that can be inherited from either the paternal or maternal line.  In addition to that, hair loss is the result of a chemical in the scalp called DHT that shrinks the hair and hair follicles.  The shrinking of the follicles causes thinning of the hair that eventually leads to baldness.  Propecia acts as a DHT inhibitor. 

Since hair loss is progressive, the sooner you begin treatment with Propecia, the more hair you can retain and re-grow.  50% of men experience some hair loss by the age of 50 and most begin losing hair in their 20’s or 30’s.  That’s why it’s important to talk to your doctor as soon as you can and to get started on Propecia.

Studies on Propecia’s ability to re-grow hair at the temples and hairline are not yet complete.  Propecia is designed to aid men in hair re-growth and should not be used by women or children.
