Hair loss has always been a great concern for men. Although the females sometimes experience this too, it is much more common among the males. As you age, you will gradually start losing your hair. For some men, this process will begin earlier than it does for the others. It is normal if you feel like you are losing your confidence due to your hair loss problem.

But you do not need to worry. Today there are countless solutions to prevent, reduce or stop hair loss and baldness. It does not mean that all of these solutions work. It would be best if you learned about each of them before trying them. Otherwise, you may end up wasting your money on useless products, or sometimes make the situation even worse. So, here are some of the available hair loss solutions for men.

Medications for Hair Loss

There are some medications available for preventing hair loss or at least reducing the amount of hair loss. The most common drugs for this purpose are Minoxidil (Rogaine) and Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar). FDA (United States Food and Drugs Administration) has approved both of these medications for male pattern baldness treatment. For some patients, these medications can encourage hair growth and prevent hair loss.

The bad side is that the exact mechanism of action is not known for these medications. Therefore, it does not work for everyone. Besides, you may need to use these medications for about a year until you experience some visible change. And as soon as you stop taking the medication, the effects will fade in a short time. So, this is definitely not a permanent solution for treating male pattern baldness.

Hair Transplant Operations

The most common types of hair transplant operation today are the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation). The FUE method is more advanced, and most of the modern hair transplant clinics perform the FUE hair transplants.

 The process is completely natural, and it does not involve anything synthetic. And it yields permanent results. This is something that none of the other hair loss solutions can achieve.

The operation involves two steps. First, they extract the healthy hair follicles from the donor area (preferably the back of the neck). And then the clinic doctor and the technicians transplant these hair follicles into the desired area. It allows the patient to grow his own natural hair after the operation. 

The changes are spectacular, and it is permanent. Furthermore, it does not require you to repeat the process every year. Because you go through this operation once. Also, it is hard to tell the difference between the transplanted hair and normal hair.
