The Ultimate Guide to Male Pattern Baldness Solutions in London 02

Hair transplantation is a surgical process that simply involves taking hair from the sides and back of the head and planting it in the areas where there is no hair. This process is long-lasting and comes with a lasting solution for hair loss but has a huge risk factor.

The risks involved are

  • No guarantee on if the hair will grow back
  • Scalp infection
  • It will ask for a longer recovery period

1. Medications

Minoxidil

Minoxidil was originally designed for hypertension. But then in 1987, scientists developed a topical minoxidil solution that is purely used for treating hair loss in males. 

Minoxidil is a form of treatment to cure hair loss or hair thinning, there are two ways available to use minoxidil: Topical and oral, those who cannot tolerate Topical minoxidil on the scalp-skin are instructed to use that orally. 

The drawbacks of Minoxidil

  • Burning sensation on scalp
  • Scalp irritation
  • Dizziness ( On oral consumption)
  • Swelling of throat ( On oral consumption)

Finasteride

Testosterone is present in all men and it is also converted in DHT for short. What DHT does do? It contributes to the formation of male characteristics, apart from that it does come with negative points such as hair loss in those who are genetically susceptible.

 In there, finasteride will come and work as a safeguard that blocks the testosterone from being converted into DHT, by doing this you will protect your scalp from the damage caused by DHT and your hair follicles then will reach the stage of growth.

Consequences of finasteride

  • Dizziness, faintness, or lightheadedness when getting up from a sitting position

2. PRP treatment

PRP is a treatment that uses your own blood to treat hair loss. It is a less time-consuming process and also asks for a little less time for recovery & promotes new hair growth too.

The side effects of PRP

  • Nerve damage
  • Bleeding on the scalp
  • Skin discoloration

How to Choose the best option for your male pattern baldness?

1. Seek an advice from a hair specialist

Now that you are aware of what are the available solutions to treat male pattern baldness, the time is to understand the level of hair loss you have, consult a hair specialist with the same concern and they will guide you with the grade of hair loss you and solution keeping in mind all your preferences and allergies.

2. Evaluate side effects ( Be it medication or hair transplant )

Now that you have advice on hand, the next step is to understand the side effects of each of the options available. If you are going ahead with medications, check the risks associated, the same is the case with hair transplants. Whereas nonsurgical hair replacement does not come with any heavy side effects. 

This will give you an accurate idea before finalizing anything. 

3. Research the effectiveness of the chosen treatment

If you are going ahead with medications check the reviews and results to get a clear idea and if you are going ahead with a hair transplant strictly check the success rate and all other parameters associated with the same. 

4. Consider your budget and financial condition

Saying yes to a hair transplant comes with its cost as a hair transplant requires multiple sessions and aftercare maintenance as well. Nonsurgical hair replacement is associated with its maintenance cost and salon visits too as and when required. 

With medications comes a long-term commitment & usage of about 8-10 months, so consider your budget first and then choose your way. 

5. Understand your lifestyle and routine

Choose a treatment that matches your lifestyle. Consider factors such as the time commitment required, ease of use, and whether the treatment fits into your daily routine or not.
