Also called Alopecia, hair loss is one of the most common conditions in UK. Predominantly, hair loss is experienced by men and the condition is known as male pattern baldness.
Male pattern baldness is also called Androgenic Alopecia. It is the common type of hair loss that affects nearly half of men over 50 years of age. The progressive thinning and losing of hair often starts in the late 20s or early 30s. By the age of 40, most men have some degree of alopecia.
Androgenic Alopecia is found to be hereditary – it means the condition runs in families. It is caused by sensitivity of hair follicles, associated with too much of a male hormone called dihydrotestosterone.
Treating hair loss
Hair loss does not need to be treated, but many men seek treatment due to cosmetic reasons. One of the effective hair loss medications for men is Regaine. It contains Minoxidil and it is available as a solution that needs to be applied on your scalp on a daily basis.
The exact mechanism by which Regaine (Minoxidil) promotes hair growth is not clearly understood. It is presumed that the medicine dilates the blood vessels to supply more blood, oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles. Studies have suggested that the stronger potency of Minoxidil (5%) is more effective.
There are a few limitations on the usage of this hair loss medication. For instance, it is less effective in men with severe alopecia. Its efficacy has been demonstrated in younger adults with hair loss for less than five years. Some men may experience dryness and itchiness of the scalp.
Usually, you need to use Regaine for several months to notice improvement. Remember that the balding process will recur if you stop using Regaine. You should use it regularly. Ask your GP or pharmacist on how to use this hair loss medication appropriately.
