Baldness is more often prevalent in males rather than female due to many biological and medical reasons. There are many geneticreasons, lifestyle patterns and environmental factors which are responsible for loss of hair. The scientific term for the extreme loss of hair in males is "Androgenic Alopecia". However, now there are many treatments available for curing or reducing different forms of alopecia, but they have limited effects and success rate.
Various Hair loss Treatments:
It is easier to reduce or prevent further hair loss than regrowing hair. You can prevent fallimng out of healthy hair or weakening of healthy hair than growing back healthy hair with various present treatments. There are products available including finasteride and minoxidil, that have a good success rate in curing loss of hair and regrowth of hair too to some extent.
Finasteride: These are 'aza-steroids' that are presented in many marketed drugs to cure loss of hair, like Propecia and Proscar. One of the most common reasons of baldness in men is the increase in the levels of a sex hormone, called DTH or Dihydrotestostrene in males. Finasteride is a DTH inhibitor, which binds to the molecules in enzymes to reduce or stop their activities. However, this drug is not meant for all. This is usually only prescribed to males. This should not be used by pregnant women, or woman trying to conceive, as there have been studies which showed the adverse and ill effects this steroid can have on an unborn baby and can lower your chances of conceiving. This steroid can cause severe birth defects in especially male foetuses. Moreover, its success rate in treating hair loss in women is negligible. Finasteride has a positive success rate in treating male loss of hair. According to a survey, approxiametly 80% of males have improved their hair grwoth and appearances.
Minoxidil: This is usually an oral drug used in curing or controlling Hyper Blood Pressure. However, during a research it was found that this drug had the side effect of increasing hair growth or reverse hair loss. Since, then drugs or solutions for hair loss treatment are available in market that contains 2% of this drug in them. This is most efficient in treating Male pattern hair loss, speacilly the bald patches that forms on the top of the ehad, also called the Vertex. However, it is equally efficient in treating frontal baldness. Its success rate is high, approxiamately 51% men benefitted from this treatment.
Dutasteride: This also belongs to the family of 'Aza-steriod' like Finasteride. This drug too was used to cure Hyper Blood Pressure. However, it is used in drugs to cure loss of hair, like in Avodart. It is also effective in treating an enlarged prostrate that happens due to the rise in the level of DHT.
