Your Premature Baldness Cure!

What causes Baldness in men? It’s a question that has plagued man for centuries. Cleopatra believed that a lack of circulation was responsible. (Why she used pigeon droppings as remedy for her boyfriend Mark Antony’s baldness is still a mystery.) Today, ironically enough, it seems the very hormone that engenders the male during fetal development, is the very thing that makes men bald.

Baldness is by its nature premature. Hairs are designed to grow for 5 years, enter a resting phase for 3 months, and then fall out being replaced by a new hair follicle.  But those who suffer from premature baldness, some 25% of men in their 20’s and 2/3 of all men over the age of 60, these hair follicles are not replaced because the existing follicles are affected by DHT.

During fetal development testosterone is converted into DHT (dihydrotestosterone) making engendering possible. This is an important part of human development; unfortunately the gene responsible for conversion of hormone into DHT doesn’t always know when to stop. And it is this buildup of DHT that shrinks and damages hair follicles that leads to baldness in men.

Prescription medications like Propecia, originally designed as a drug to deal with an enlarged prostate, were proven to be most effective in dealing with premature baldness. By blocking the conversion of testosterone into DHT, Propecia could significantly stem hair loss in men, if not actually regenerate damaged hair follicles.

Aside from hair loss there is no medical side effect of premature baldness. Men who do suffer from baldness have a myriad of hair restoration choices to choose from. There are prescription medications like Rogaine and Propecia along with exceedingly effective hair transplantation procedures which transfer healthy hair follicles to areas of the scalp in need of them.
