Hair loss and baldness can often affect self confidence, causing depression and lack of confidence. Hair loss can be caused by many things such as genetics, age and hormonal imbalances. However, people suffering from baldness or thinning hair, have numerous hair loss solutions to choose from.

For the males, the only available prescribed hair loss treatment is Propecia (generic name Finasteride). The Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hormone causes baldness and this drug takes down the levels of this hormone. Propecia can lower DHT levels by 60%, when consumed daily. About half of all men who consume Propecia regrow hair on their scalps.

Minoxidil (Rogaine) is an nonprescription hair loss treatment for males and females. Based on research indicates Minoxidil works in roughly one out of every three men who apply the product twice daily. While the five-percent strength is not recommended for women, some physicians will prescribe the higher concentration. Patients using the higher dose increased their hair growth.

Organic supplements are also used as hair loss treatments. Supplements such as flaxseed and primrose oils contain important fatty acids that make hair look lusher and healthier. Vitamin B3, B5, and B6 also stimulate hair growth. Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Coenzyme Q10 stimulate hair follicles to improve scalp circulation. Zinc, Kelp and Copper boost immune functions, aiding hair growth.

Another hair loss treatment that is available is laser hair therapy. This procedure uses low-light lasers to restore damaged hair cells. Studies suggest that around 90 percent of patients regrow hair. Laser hair therapy also prevents additional hair thinning and loss.

Currently, more hair loss treatments are available to treat male-pattern baldness. However, researchers are conducting studies to further understand which hair loss treatments work best for women. While many options exist, early intervention is the key to improving hair loss and regaining self confidence.
