Topical Finasteride Treatment For Hair Loss by ManiMalik: 9:59am On May 01, 2021
Topical Finasteride Treatment for Hair Loss earns its value from the fact that not everyone needs a hair transplant. Hair loss is a very distressing process that a lot of people suffer from. It is an unnerving phenomenon that many people seek fixes from since hair is central to how we look and feel about ourselves. Although hair transplant is a great procedure for replacing lost hair and there is no arguing around that, why not look for other methods that are less disruptive to the scalp and can be cheaper and more accessible? Hair grafting procedures are not cheap and their bills run into thousands of dollars. Everyone is not able to afford such procedures therefore one should always look for alternatives that are not heavy on the wallet, or scalp, for that matter. Of course, these alternatives do not amount to a fully-fledged transplant, but is that not the whole point of using them?

What is it?

Amongst other over-the-counter medications, Topical Finasteride Treatment for Hair Loss is a wonderful option that should not be overlooked. Over-the-counter medications are available at chemists and druggists and can be purchased easily any day of the week. But OTC medications can be of different types and one should recognize the differences between them. This treatment is also available as an oral medication but we are concerned with the ones available in topical forms. What makes it even more interesting is that it is generally less known than oral option. By topical, we mean the medicine that can be applied on the scalp directly to have desired results. Although it is different from oral, it is as effective and can be used by people who like to avoid oral medications for any reason. Another advantage of applying it topically is that one can target a specific area. On the other hand, oral works on the scalp overall and does not target a particular area.

How does it Work?

To understand the use of Topical Finasteride Treatment for Hair Loss one needs to make you aware of some technicalities behind its working mechanism. Let us discuss some science behind this, although in an uncomplicated way. Hair loss has got something to with DHT or Dihydrotestosterone. It can be called a growth inhibitor for hair. But where does it come from? It is a byproduct of the breakdown of the growth hormone called testosterone. One should be aware of the fact that testosterone is useful, especially when one is growing up during teenage and adulthood. But once again sets in, it could become a liability since it binds itself with hair and weakens them, making them fall off. Luckily, medications are available to inhibit the functioning of DHT and keep hair fall in check.

Possible Side Effects

While using Topical Finasteride Treatment for Hair Loss it is crucial to note that there are side effects to using any medication. Even taking oral medication for headaches can have its side effects. But medicine is taken because of its efficacy, and the possibility, not side effects, although important, is not the only factor. While there are some side effects of taking it, most of them have been exaggerated. The most cited side effects are related to the sexual life of patients. For instance, it is often said that the sexual drive of those using it goes down significantly. Similarly, erectile dysfunction is another possible drawback of going this way. But the critical thing to note here is that these problems are faced by only 5% of the people. And those who face it usually recover within a short period because the body gets accustomed to the medication. For some, these symptoms might last longer. But again, these cannot be permanent. Usually, it is used in a concentration of 0.1% which is not a lot and is quite safe for use. If your major concern is related to loss of libido then one should consider hair regrowth injections for full head of hair. However these injections do not work in every case
