Return To Hair Loss Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Hair Loss- An Overview of Hair Loss Treatments By Carlo Morelli No doubt about it, hair loss is a condition which can affect one's emotions. Most people in our society feel outer appearance is important to be successful and well liked. It may be vanity, but it is how we were raised, so we may as well accept it. This is why there is such a large market for hair loss products. Hair loss treatments are offered in various forms; medicines, lotions, shampoos, supplements and herbs. Before you choose a treatment, you need to know the cause of your hair loss. There are many reasons for losing hair: aging, medicine side affects, hereditary factors and hormonal imbalance all can be behind it. DHT, Dihydrotestosterone is a hormone which can be a cause of hair loss. DHT will block the flow of nutrients necessary to hair, which in turn stops healthy hair growth. One herb that lowers the level of DHT in the body is Saw Palmetto, a powerful herb. that by blockades. Saw Palmetto stops hair loss by blocking the cell membrane receptor sites in hair follicles, with a substance called 5 alpha-reductase, where DHT normally is absorbed. Nettle Root is another herb also providing natural hair loss treatment. It works by lowering levels of two enzymes, aromatase and 5 alpha-reductase, which produce the hormones estrogen and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) respectively. Research has suggested these two enzymes are blocked completely by a Nettle Root extract. Hair loss can also be treated by medications formulated to block dihydrotestosterone. Hair Genesis, NuGen, and Revivogen are all appropriate medications to block DHT in the scalp. Revivogen is the most popular; it fights hair thinning by minimizing DHT scalp levels. Some commonly available shampoos that help to stop hair loss are Viviscal, Nisim, Folligen and Tricomin. Folligen contains copper peptides to aid in treating hair loss. Viviscal is available in tablet form also. Tricomin is available in three forms; shampoo spray, and conditioner. The trace minerals supplements Magnesium and Zinc also help halt hair loss. Zinc is mainly used for skin problems such as boils, sore throats and acne. Zinc also plays a vital part in the cell division process, so aids growth of hair cells. Of course the two medications approved by the FDA for hair loss treatment are Rogaine and Propecia. Rogaine and Propecia are used by men and women globally to stop hair loss.
