Hair Loss Medication
02/13/2008
There are many alternatives to hair transplants such as medication, which is either taken orally or applied. The have been proven to replace hair in other places than the frontal area. Only hair transplant operations that fully restore the hair in all parts to their original form. The medication include monoxidil also called rogaine and propecia also finastidine.
Rogaine is applied on the scalp of the head to assist in stop the balding mostly twice a day but the effect ceases once the usage is stopped.
The medications to be honest are not very effective as the hair restoration surgery. They are also cumbersome and a recurring cost to the user. Due to the advancement in research the drugs are now available over the counter for fairly strong concentrations. Propecia is orally taken ones per day and was former used to cure some prostrate disorders but was found to stimulate hair growth.
hair transplant before and after patients have confessed to the partial effectiveness of the medication. To my opinion I would rather advice you to use these medicine than others which are unproven and the side effects are not filed anywhere or use the several concealing methods all you life.
Human beings like the easy way so despite the noted efficiency of the medications; they have their own short comings which include skipping doses, the burden of carrying them when traveling and the side effects on some people as those who have miniature prostrate glands. So hair transplant remains the only solution for today.
