Topical Hair Loss Treatments Dallas
Some medications that are commonly used to treat hair loss include Finasteride and Minoxidil. Apollo Replacement Dallas will let you know if a topical treatment is beneficial to you. Sometimes topical treatments are used in conjunction with other treatments for a more favorable result.
Finasteride is a synthetic drug that disrupts the manufacturing of a type of testosterone that is associated with balding. This disruption decreases the speed of hair loss. Finasteride, also known as Propecia or Proscar, is an oral medication that has been shown to lower DHT levels in the scalp, which are responsible for shrinking hair follicles. Finasteride does have some side effects, including hives, itching, depression, breast tenderness and testicular pain. Since Finasteride blocks male hormone production, it can also cause breast growth
Minoxidil (Rogaine), on the other hand, is an antihypertensive vasodilator. If you put this solution straight onto your scalp, it can lead to stimulation of the hair follicles. Not only can it decrease the speed of hair loss, but it can sometimes even lead to the emergence of brand new hair. When individuals cease using the medication, however, balding continues. This medication sometimes has side effects such as irritation, dryness, burning and scaling of the scalp.
