Several factors lead to hair loss in men and women, most notably
androgenic alopecia, an inherited condition. Treatment is available.
Early treatment produces better results. Balding is a cosmetic
condition, usually resulting from genetic influences, aging, skin
conditions, or certain medications. The most common forms of balding
are male- and female-pattern baldness. Baldness has no cure. Oral
prescription drugs such as Propecia® and Proscar® are available by
prescription and over-the-counter preparations which contain minoxidil
have benefits. Most hair-growth drugs prevent hair loss better than
they re-grow hair. Taking aggressive steps today helps maintain healthy
hair.
Nutritional Recommendations
Hair loss has many causes, including aging, genetic pre-disposition,
thyroid imbalance, eating disorders, illness, hormonal effects of birth
control pills, pregnancy, menopause, and certain medications and
medical treatments. There is no single “cure” for baldness. A product
that is effective for one individual may provide only limited results
for another. Combining traditional treatments with nutritional
supplements and natural topical solutions improves chances of
inhibiting pattern hair loss.
Conventional Therapy
At the first sign of thinning hair, consult a dermatologist to determine the cause.
Ask your physician if any prescription drug you take causes temporary hair loss.
Ask your physician about drugs that may revive hair growth.
Lifestyle Modification
Maintain a healthy diet that is low in fat and rich in whole foods.
