People could wait far too long before taking help with their hair loss situation. By the time the decision is taken a number of treatments will only be able to produce a minor difference and then just hold the problem. Acting in a dynamic way to prevent hair loss from the beginning can help reduce the problems later on. Hair loss is mostly caused by genetics with genes being passed down the line from parents and grand parents. The gene pattern inherited is changed into biochemical changes in the scalp. These changes make it less ideal for hair follicles to continue acting normally. The net result is a gradual loss of hair as hair follicles die away and get so little that they can no longer produce viable hair. The idea behind early hair loss treatments is that interventions are used to stop the chemical changes happening in the scalp. This will then stop further miniaturization of hair follicles and also stimulate those ones that have not quite reached a final terminal decline. There are number of treatments that exploit this method of coping with hair loss. The methods used are to either block scalp cells producing a chemical called DHT or to increase the blood supply to hair follicles. There are some methods that claim to do both. As a result it is usually a good reason to use more than one treatment at the same time. DHT is the short name for a hormone called Dihydrotestosterone. It is made when male hormones called androgens respond with receptors in the hair follicle cells. The hair follicles are very sensitive to DHT and as a result it causes them to wither away. Stopping DHT formation is consequently a good strategy in stopping hair follicles withering away and therefore keeping hair production. Developing the blood supply to the hair follicles makes sure that they have a better supply of oxygen and food. This therefore promotes their health. There is also the possibility that the better blood flow carries away some of the DHT before it builds up to high levels in the hair follicles. These are some of the strategies that can be used in early action to prevent hair loss. Laser Luce LDS 100 is a laser hair restoration method used in hair clinics. It means sitting under a dome shaped hood for about 30 minutes each session. The laser light which is in the infra red wavelength area causes greater metabolic activity in scalp cells and promotes the blood capillary network supplying the hair follicles with oxygen and food. Tests have shown that patients having this treatment over a 12 month period both gain new hair and keep the degree of hair thickness and production after this time. Propecia is DHT preventing treatment. You have to take pills on a daily basis. Excellent results have been obtained in both the keeping of hair count and thickness as well as the ability to regrow hair. After only 3 months the patient can see that the treatment has started to take effect.
