How Can You Prevent Hair Loss in Men (Hair Loss Solutions 2020)

Hi I’m Mark Lucas, Clinical Director for Advanced Cosmetic Surgery And Laser Center’s Hair Loss Division. Thank you for tuning in today where we are going to tackle a very important subject on how to prevent hair loss FOR MEN. If you have hair loss, you will want to know what can be done for thinning hair and to how to prevent hair loss for men. We have all seen the commercials for KEEPs and FORHIM and we soon realize there’s not really a hair loss cure out there. But while there are a lot of gimmicky devices, procedures and supplements, each of them promising to be the next big hair loss cure, there are really only a few things that really work well, especially if you have a receding hairline. So, I’m going to reveal some hair loss treatments that even though are not a baldness cure, if you want to keep and strengthen the hair you have plus save the follicles that haven’t yet dried up, Listen up! 1. Build a proactive plan that works for you There are 4 options that you should consider if you are wondering how to prevent hair loss, and they all work to stimulate re-growth on weak miniaturized follicles. Finasteride: Finasteride (commonly known as Propecia) blocks the formation of DHT. DHT is a male androgen hormone which contributes to hair loss by making hair follicles thin and small. As a result of this disruption the hair goes into a longer resting period, which makes the hair stop growing. So, by blocking the absorption of DHT, finasteride helps promote hair growth. Minoxidil: Minoxidil (which you might recognize by its patented name, Rogaine) is available over-the-counter. By massaging it onto your scalp twice daily, it increases blood flow to the hair follicles. The hair grows fuller, and is in turn less likely to surrender to permanent fallout. Minoxidil also boosts the hair follicle during its regrowth phase. It’s particularly effective on the crown of the head, and will promote uniform thickness, but isn’t an effective defense against receding hairlines at the temples. (Both finasteride and minoxidil are available online, through companies like HIMS or thru your local MD. LLLT Laser caps are based on the concept of Low-Level Laser Therapy. It is a proven technique for slowing down hair loss, strengthening existing hair, and boosting hair growth. There are many different brands such as Capillus and I Grow, however we prefer the Original Laser Cap made by a group of doctors out of Cleveland Ohio, which offers an unbelievable Lifetime Warranty. The Original LaserCap is FDA-cleared to promote hair regrowth in both men and women with pattern hair loss. This is only available thru your doctor. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): PRP uses the platelets in your own blood to stimulate hair growth. The first step in getting PRP is having your blood drawn and then spun in a centrifuge. For the best results, you should do this once a month for 4 months. It can come with a high cost, A single treatment can run you $1500 or more, so be prepared. In closing seek guidance as soon as you notice a change If you want to fight hair loss, you need to visit an MD that understands the hair loss process at the first sign of thinning or shedding. Getting treatment for hair loss in its early stages can help minimize overall hair loss and increase the odds of a hair loss treatment working to its full potential. Hair loss can seem overwhelming, which is why it is necessary to consult with a hair loss specialist who will assess your condition and explain all of your hair loss treatment options.
