Baldness involves the state of lacking hair where it often grows,
especially on the head. The most common form of baldness is a
progressive hair thinning condition called androgenic alopecia or 'male
pattern baldness' that occurs in adult male humans and other species.
The severity and nature of baldness can vary greatly; it ranges from
male and female pattern alopecia (androgenetic alopecia, also called
androgenetic alopecia or alopecia androgenetica), alopecia areata, which
involves the loss of some of the hair from the head, and alopecia
totalis, which involves the loss of all head hair, to the most extreme
form, alopecia universalis, which involves the loss of all hair from the
head and the body. Treatments for the various forms alopecia have
limited success, but typical male pattern baldness is now a very
preventable, and reversible (to a certain extent) condition. Some hair
loss sufferers make use of "clinically proven treatments" such as
finasteride and topically applied minoxidil (in solution) in an attempt
to prevent further loss and regrow hair. As a general rule, it is easier
to maintain remaining hair than it is to regrow; however, the treatments
mentioned will help some of the users suffering from Androgenetic
alopecia, and there are new technologies in cosmetic transplant surgery
and hair replacement systems that can be completely undetectable.
Propecia (finasteride) is a medical breakthrough - the first pill that
effectively treats male pattern hair loss on the vertex (at top of head)
and anterior mid-scalp area.
Propecia is an androgen hormone inhibitor used to treat male pattern
hair loss IN MEN ONLY. |
