Balding Treatments That Work Well

There are few things more distressing in the male population than the thought of balding. Hair loss or thinning hair is expected in men over a certain age. The thing of it is,You could have this condition at any point of your life. The important thing is to try to identify the main causes and take action to deal with them as soon as possible.

Here are some of the balding treatments that many claim work well for treating hair loss.

Saw Palmetto is a little palm tree native to the eastern part of the United States. The berries hold a biologically active component like that found in another in another of the popular balding treatments namely finasteride. The fat-soluble part of these berries has been shown to inhibit the metamorphosis of testosterone into the active form, much like finasteride. Although there are quite a few double-blind studies comparing saw palmetto to finasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlarged prostate), there have been no investigations looking at its use in balding.

Finasteride (Propecia and Proscar) on the other hand, has been shown to be one of the most effective baldness treatments of mild to moderate male-pattern balding. These results were based on two 24-month research of men ages 18 to 41. About 80 percent of the men in the study maintained their base hair count (versus 28 percent on placebo), though 66 percent had visible regrowth as rated by way of independent observers (versus seven percent with placebo). The majority of of the men in the study reported an augmentation in the amount of hair, a decrease in their balding, and an improvement in their appearance.
