Male Pattern baldness effects up to forty-five million men in the United States. That sounds like an incredible number, but it’s true! That’s a huge chunk of the male population. Sure, some are affected more than others, but when baldness creeps up on you, you can’t count on its stopping unless you do something about it.

If you think this article is for men only, then think again. Women, too, experience hair loss. Fortunately for women, it tends to take the form of thinning hair rather than the total loss of hair that spreads from one area throughout the head like it does for men. Still, what woman wants to see her formerly luxurious growth thin out and flatten her hair?

Both men and women can benefit from the latest hair regrowth treatment. First of all, let’s look at what causes loss of hair. It is caused by a natural hormone called DHT (dihydrotestostrone). DHT binds itself to hair follicle receptors and literally chokes them off. The hair gradually grows back thinner and thinner until finally the hair follicles die off. This process can be arrested and stopped with the right treatment.

There are several trade names for it, but Minoxidil is the active ingredient in any reversal treatment. It was originally marketed as an oral drug to treat high blood pressure until it was discovered that if applied topically, it has the remarkable ability to reverse the causes of male pattern baldness.

While baldness and severe hair thinning usually occur in women after menopause and does not have the same cause as male baldness, Minoxidil has proven that it works for women as well as men.

It took many years before Minoxidil was approved by the FDA as a safe treatment for thinning hair. Now that it has been, men and women everywhere are beginning to discover that at last there is a treatment that works to reverse those balding signs! Those who used to laugh at hair loss treatments aren’t laughing anymore. This stuff has been proven to work! You don’t have to beg your mirror for help anymore!
