Hair Loss
Hair loss can be the result of heredity, certain medications or an underlying medical condition. The medical term for hair
loss is alopecia. The most common type of hair loss is pattern baldness which accounts for about 90 percent of hair
loss cases. Male pattern hair loss is permanent and can usually be attributed to heredity.
There are drugs on the
market which help to combat baldness. The two main ones are Rogaine and Propecia.
Rogaine works in your scalp to enlarge your
hair follicles and stimulate hair regrowth. Individual results with Rogaine vary, although most men respond to its use. Chances are you
will get better results if you have been losing hair for a shorter period of time or have little hair loss. Apply exactly 1 mL
of Rogaine from the applicator, twice a day, every day. Using less or using it less often will simply lessen your chances of getting
results. Conversely, using more or using it more often won't make it work any faster.
