Medications vs. Hair Transplants

A solid and evident cure for hair loss is an age-old search that remains unresolved until this day. As a matter of fact, hair loss products and solutions are one of the largest contributors to the beauty industry. Men who have thinning hair or are losing their hair entirely have looked high and low for a product that will help them. The market has been flooded with products that are advertised as 'the best' when it comes to either regrowing hair or stalling the loss. So what are the best? Here are a couple of the most well-known products and what they can achieve:

Propecia

One such product is Propecia. This was originally called Proscar and was developed to prevent prostate problems in men over 60. Containing Finasteride, it stopped the production of DHT, which is a major cause of prostate cancer. Oddly enough, it was an accident when Propecia was found to prevent the loss of hair.

In studies conducted comparing Propecia to a placebo, Propecia came out on top every time. The studies also revealed that a 60% increased hair count was reported although only 42% had any improvement that was noticeable.

This product is mainly recommended for younger men who want to stop any further hair loss. The cost for the generic version, 30 tablets, is approximately $52.

Rogaine/Minoxidil

Another product that has shown favourable results is Minoxidil, which is found in Rogaine. The generic version of this is available as well. This works as a stimulant that coaxes the hair follicles to grow. Available in 2% and 5%, the solution is approved for men and women to use however; the 5% version is usually only approved for men. It has been found to cause side effects in women when they use the stronger version.

The 2% solution, available in a 30-day supply cost about $30. It is available over the counter and the 5% version is the most powerful product that you will

be able to purchase over the counter. The 2% is recommended for use if you are just starting to lose hair.

Hair Transplants

If you have decided the best method for you is to have a hair transplant, there are a few things you will need to know. First, the hair transplant is done by taking hair from a donor site on your head. When this area is chosen, you should let your hair grow before the transplant is scheduled. This is just for cosmetics so when the hair is taken from the site, you can have the longer hair to cover it.

So you know what to expect, in the first few days after the transplant, your head is not going to look like it will eventually. The implants will show and your scalp will be red. The implants take a couple of weeks to heal and the hair will grow but it may take up to six months before you notice hair growth.

This is a lengthy process and the results are slow to show. It is also an expensive procedure. The average price is about $8 per shaft of hair transplanted. If you need an extensive transplant, this can add up rather quickly. Many people who have had the transplants are very pleased with the outcome after the initial period that it takes the hair to start growing.

The choices are clear. The hair transplant procedure is expensive and may be worth it depending upon the person. The medications have been proven to work, are less expensive, and more advances are being made in this area. Both take time to work. The choice really depends upon the personal preferences of the man or woman that wants hair restoration.
