Male Pattern Baldness---No Longer!

Up until a few years ago any talk of a male pattern baldness cure was the realm of the witch doctor and the medicine man. Herbal supplements taken orally to stimulate hair growth did little more than stimulate the bank accounts of those selling them. Even surgical techniques like hair transplantation were so crude and aesthetically unpleasing that any discussion of male pattern baldness cures were greeted with unanimous derision.

But then something happened in the 80’s. Minoxidil, or more commonly known as Rogaine, which originally was designed to lower blood pressure, happened to also stop hair loss and in some cases actually grow new hair follicles. The Hair restoration industry was changed forever.

Rogaine’s popularity as an effective hair loss topical solution was only eclipsed by the emergence of the prescription medication Propecia. This new “hair loss” pill may not have been a male pattern baldness cure but it proved even more effective than Rogaine in stemming hair loss by blocking the conversion of DHT (or dihydrotestosterone) in the body.

Perhaps the most exciting revolution in the hair restoration industry has been the advance of hair transplantation. Just as computers have gotten smaller and increasingly more effective since the 60’s, so have the amount of hair follicles that can be effectively transplanted from a healthy donor area of the scalp to an area suffering from baldness. Through the use of Follicular Micro Grafting, which uses 1-4 hair follicle samples as opposed to the old standard of 20-30 hair samples, hair restoration surgery has become, if not a baldness cure, than a most certain alternative to hair loss.
