How To Control Hair Fall

Hair fall is caused by many, many different factors. One of the main factors that causes hair fall is stress. We are all stressed, if you can cut out the stress and if you can deal with your stress, then most probably you will find that your hair loss will diminish.

Illnesses such as cancer are another factor that may cause hair loss. Treating the illness, of course, is one of the main ways in dealing with this hair loss. Hair loss is mainly a genetic problem.

That is to say, it is hereditary. What happens is that the testosterone in the scalp dihydrotestosterone, DHT, this causes the hair follicles to minimise and hair to fall out. Minoxidil is one of only two proven treatments for hair loss.

We have found that it is very effective in four percent, five percent or twelve percent treatment doses. If you can get Minoxidil with an added DHT blocker such as medroxyprogesterone or azelaic acid, it will prove to be much more effective. Minoxidil is dose dependent so the higher the dose, the more effective the treatment in most situations.

But for a proper diagnosis, it is best to come down to a hair loss clinic such as a Belgravia Center to assess your particular situation and get the best dose of Minoxidil that is suitable for you. Minoxidil twelve and a half percent plus azelaic acid cream has been formulated to treat especially stubborn areas or hair loss on the scalp such as receding hairline. We have found that it is an extremely effective way of treating this.

As Minoxidil is dose dependent, the higher strength of twelve and a half percent is much more effective than the four or five percent and as it is in a cream formulation, it is much easier to apply and much more concentrated in its application. Propecia is a brand name for a product called Finasteride. It is the only other proven medication which is effective for hair loss.

It is available in a tablet in a one milligram dose and this is the only dose that is effective for hair loss. In many cases, it is best in a combination with Minoxidil and that will give the most effective treatment. There are also other products which can help boost the proven treatment but might not be so effective individually.

An example of one of these is a supplement called Hair Vitalics. It contains a number of nutrients, minerals, vitamins and herbs, which are beneficial for healthy hair growth and the general condition and integrity of the hair. It also contains some ingredients that could help to slow down or prevent hair loss.

Once you have been diagnosed by a professional and your particular hair loss has been assessed, then different treatments such as Propecia, Minoxidil in different strengths, four, five or twelve and a half percent and most probably a hair supplement such as Hair Vitalics would prove to be beneficial for you. And that is how to control hair fall. |Hair fall or hair loss is a common affliction effecting men especially.
