Therapy
This involves an oral therapy using various male
hormones called androgens.
It must be used within the first two years of the
onset of hair loss and baldness.
The treatment must continue for at least one year
and two years are required before any improvement can be observed.
In the male, sex drive may be affected and the pitch
of the voice may become higher.

Propecia
(for men only)
Propecia is
the only FDA-approved prescription pill proven to treat male
pattern baldness on the top-of-the-head and mid-scalp region
in men.
Men with male
pattern hair loss have an increased level of DHT in their scalps.
Leading scientists
believe these increased levels of DHT affect the hair growth
cycle, contributing to the thinning of the hair on the scalp.
Propecia blocks the formation of DHT and in this way appears to
interrupt a key factor in the development of inherited male pattern
hair loss in men.

Rogaine (non-prescription)
Men

It is more suitable if the young man is not completely bald or
not bald at the temples.
This topical solution must be applied twice a day, every day, to
the balding area, works best on small areas and involves a lifetime
commitment.

has been proven safe for women to use. In fact, it contains the
only active ingredient that is clinically proven and FDA-approved
for hair regrowth for women.

of the scalp - but they only affect a minority of users.
