Hair loss is an issue that many men face, some even when they are really young in their twenties. The thought of going bald is devastating, and once you find out hair loss is gradual, it never is going to stop, panic sets in right away.
What do many men do? Well, before you come to the realization that hair loss is inevitable, many men try to hide it. They wear caps, hats, and some even make less public appearances. Others decide to shave their hair off, revealing sometimes a not so pleasing head to many people! Therefore, understanding why hair loss occurs is important, but more importantly, finding out what your options are to treat hair loss are what is most crucial if you decide to do something about it.
Hair loss medications exist, the more popular brand names being Rogaine and Propecia. These treat hair loss, but medically it is only proven to stop, or even re-grow, hair in the crown area, or back of the head. To many, hair loss is most troublesome in the hairline, and a “receding hairline” is the first real glimpse of the hair loss nightmare that many men come to realize.
If you want to restore your hairline, a hair transplant is a good option. But, in taking such a step, you must do your homework and research a doctor well. Many hair transplant clinics exist, but not many give you the best results. A hair transplant is a big investment, so make sure you are able to check out the clinic’s track record, meet a previous patient, and find out if the clinic has certified technicians that will help in surgery. A hair transplant can be a blessing, but to really combat hair loss, make sure you pick the right clinic – or it can turn into a nightmare.
