ARE ALL HAIR LOSS TREATMENTS JUST ONE BIG SCAM?

ARE ALL HAIR LOSS TREATMENTS JUST ONE BIG SCAM?
BY: RICHARD MITCHELL
the hair loss industry is not one that inspires
great confidence in most people. i have to admit
THIS IS PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE GIVEN THE
damage caused by the many rogues and charlatans
who have abused the trust of far too many
VULNERABLE PEOPLE - PEOPLE WHO HAVE RECEIVED
worthless and even dangerous products or advice
in exchange for their hard earned cash. the end
RESULT IS THE PREVALANCE OF A STIGMA THAT THE
industry is hard pressed to shake off.

BUT IS THIS PERCEPTION REALLY JUSTIFIED
nowadays? are there no genuine treatments that
sufferers can turn to in a bid to treat the
RAVAGES OF PREMATURE HAIR LOSS? THE SIMPLE
answer is yes, there are several safe,
affordable, accessible and effective hair loss
TREATMENTS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. SOME HAVE EVEN
been approved by fda for the treatment of hair
loss conditions while others draw on natural
REMEDIES AS THE BASIS FOR COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE
products. whether or not any of them are
suitable for a given individual depends on a
NUMBER OF IMPORTANT FACTORS.

first and foremost, every individual must
DETERMINE THE EXACT CAUSE OR CAUSES OF HIS OR
her hair loss. this may appear to be an
over-simplistic statement but the truth is, most
PEOPLE UNDERGOING A COURSE OF TREATMENT FOR HAIR
loss have proceeded on the basis of
self-diagnosis. given the fact that premature or
EXCESSIVE HAIR LOSS IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH
underlying medical conditions, this is perhaps
not the most sensible course of action.

my advice in all cases is to seek the guidance
of a qualified medical practitioner because the
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT DOING SO MAY BE SERIOUS IN A
small number of cases. even where all the
evidence points to the onset of hereditary male
PATTERN BALDNESS IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BEST TO
seek advice, if only to rule out other factors.

ONCE THE CAUSE OF HAIR LOSS HAS BEEN PROPERLY
diagnosed you will be in a position to choose a
suitable form of treatment. this may range from
THE PRESCRIPTION OF DRUGS AIMED AT BALANCING
disrupted hormone levels to the topical
application of minoxidil to reduce the symptoms
OF MALE PATTERN BALDNESS.

hair loss may be caused by many factors
INCLUDING CHANGING HORMONE LEVELS, ILLNESS,
stress, overuse of strong chemicals, excessive
traction, poor grooming practices, side effects
OF MEDICAL TREATMENT, POOR NUTRITION, WEAK
immune system and the effects of aging. the good
news is, all of these can be tackled with
REASONABLE HOPE OF SUCCESS BUT ONLY IF YOU
choose the right treatment.

THE NEXT ARTICLE IN THIS SERIES WILL LOOK
closely at the various causes of excessive hair
loss and outline suggested treatments that are
BOTH AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE. IF YOU TAKE ONLY
two things from this article, please take these
suggestions on board:

1. always seek the advice of your physician
before undergoing a hair loss treatment regime.

2. don't despair, there's often a simple
explanation for excessive hair loss and even
HEREDITARY LOSS OR MALE PATTERN-TYPE BALDNESS
can be treated successfully for most people
nowadays.
