New Hair Loss Treatments

If you're suffering with the unpleasant problem of hair loss, take heart. There are lots of new hair loss treatments out there that provide hope, and results, to men and women everywhere. Take a look at some of these treatment options:

Rogaine

While Rogaine isn't necessarily brand new, they've recently developed an Extra Strength formula. Rogaine is a great first step because it's affordable at only $29 a month, available over the counter at most local drugstores and supermarkets, and safe for both men and women. Rogaine is a simple topical lotion that is applied to the scalp and has shown dramatic results in both men and women with certain types of hair loss.

Propecia

Propecia is an FDA approved prescription pill for male pattern baldness. This pill has shown great promise for men with genetic types of baldness, but should not be used by women or children. Because this medication is not available over the counter, you will need to see your doctor to obtain it.

Follicular Unit Transplantation

Then there's more involved hair loss treatment options. Follicular unit transplantation is one new treatment option that some people are turning to. With this medical procedure, follicular units are removed from the back of the scalp and transplanted to the areas where the balding has occurred. This procedure, when done correctly, has a high success rate and short recovery period. If you're interested in follicular unit transplantation, you'll need to talk to medical professionals that specialize in this type of hair replacement surgery.

Laser Hair Loss Treatments

One of the best new hair loss treatments out there today involves the use of a laser to regrow hair. Laser hair loss treatments use infrared light energy to stimulate the scalp, expand the pores, increase oxygen and bloodflow, and encourage new hair to grow. In order to obtain this treatment, you will need to go to an experienced professional who is licensed to provide it. This type of hair loss treatment has been used in Europe for awhile, and is now starting to gain popularity in the United States.

Because hair loss is such a widespread problem, there are new innovations being developed every day to combat the problem. If you're dealing with excessive hair loss or balding, it's important to first seek the advice of your doctor before proceeding with treatment on your own.
