Have you come to hate looking into the mirror because you can no longer deny the telltale balding signs you see in front of you every day? That’s good, because it means you are no longer in denial. You can go on combing your hair in different ways and pretending it’s not happening or you can continue reading and learn how you can reverse hair loss with a simple treatment.
If you are losing your hair, you are not alone. In fact, if you are a man, you are among tens of millions in the United States who are losing their hair through male pattern baldness. While your case may be more or less severe than others, you still can do something about it, so why not start sooner than later?
Believe it or not, women too experience loss of hair. For women, the symptoms come later in life and usually show themselves as thinning hair rather than the absence of hair in large areas of the head. Nevertheless, it is a cause of terrible anxiety and embarrassment to see it happening.
Fortunately, both men and women can reverse this process. Before we can understand how it works, we need to understand a little bit about the causes of baldness. It is passed down genetically, but that’s only part of the story. The actual cause in men is a hormone that goes by the name of dihydrotestostrone or DHT. What DHT does is attach to the receptors of the hair follicles and steadily builds up until they can no longer produce hair.
There are several trade names for it, but Minoxidil is the active ingredient in any reversal treatment. It was originally marketed as an oral drug to treat high blood pressure until it was discovered that if applied topically, it has the remarkable ability to reverse the causes of male pattern baldness.
Minoxidil also works equally well on women, though the cause of female hair thinning is not the same as men’s. This is because it does not work by neutralizing DHT, but by other chemical means.
It took many years before Minoxidil was approved by the FDA as a safe treatment for thinning hair. Now that it has been, men and women everywhere are beginning to discover that at last there is a treatment that works to reverse those balding signs! Those who used to laugh at hair loss treatments aren’t laughing anymore. This stuff has been proven to work! You don’t have to beg your mirror for help anymore!
