Topical Minoxidil

Androgenetic alopecia or pattern alopecia is best treated by using topical minoxidil. The number of bald women was very small and was never as widespread as it is now. Men are mostly the affected sex. Baldness is certainly caused by genes, but its inner workings are not yet clear even now. Other causes are maybe the food we eat, the medication we take, or effects of the environmental like exposure to chemicals, harmful rays and dusts to name just a few. There are few scientific explanations up to now that fully explains the cause of hair loss and lack in medical research and publication of scientific journals to conclusively proves the facts.

Before, there was no chance of hair ever growing again when they’re gone; but now, some brands of the minoxidil drug have shown promise in regaining the lost hair aside from slowing and stopping the abnormal hair loss. The medicine is placed on the affected area and should be allowed to stay for at least 30-45 minutes in order to get the desired result. If you have nowhere to go and you don’t need to use hair styling, you can keep the medicine in your hair for a longer time.

Baldness occurs because we have weak hair or they are easily cut. Hair loss in the case of Androgenetic alopecia involves the roots of the hair, also called the hair follicles. The hair follicle goes deep into the subcutaneous layer of the skin in the scalp; it even has a nerve supply. That is why when our hairs are touched; we can feel the sensation clearly. It is in this part that the hair is uprooted in case of alopecia. Topical minoxidil, while applied on the pate of the head or on the hair strands will ultimately end up in the subcutaneous layer where they are more effective in reinvigorating the dead or “hibernating” hair follicles.

Bald is beautiful, according to one slogan. Being bald is now widely acceptable and many victims of hair loss would rather cut the hair completely off their scalp than to retain the semi covering. Actors and other celebrities, like athletes and rock band members, have gone to sport the bald look and it has spread even to people without hair abnormalities whatsoever. But not everyone is comfortable with being bald, that’s why they keep on looking for drugs that can restore their hair back. Unlike those who go for bald by choice and can re grow their hair anytime they want, real bald people have no choice but use drugs or medicines.

You can buy topical minoxidil in several brands. Some brands may work better in others than in you. This is because of individual differences that every human being has.

It’s advised to have your condition examined by hair professionals. It is that the diagnosis on your condition is accurate in order to give you the right prescription to dealing with your hair loss problem. Some experts recommend massaging your head while applying the medicine.
