Treatments for Male pattern hair loss
As DHT is the active androgen in male pattern hair loss, Tablet Finasteride taken 1Mg daily slows progression of hair loss by blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT and also stimulates growth of hair.
It comes in 2%, 5% lotion, 5% foam and 10% lotion in alcohol or aloe-vera base. By applying it topically on scalp twice daily promotes hair-growth by prolonging anagen(growth) phase of your hair. It acts by improving the blood supply to the hair roots. To access the response, it has to be used for atleast 6-8months and continued thereafter to maintain the response.
CONVENTIONAL MEDICINES are aimed at identifying disease and treating symptoms. Our approach is to restore cellular function. Cells are made up of nutrients & require a Comprehensive and Scientific nutritional environment to thrive, repair and regenerate delivering an Optimized Cellular response.
However if nutrients are not given in proper dosages it can lead to inter nutrients interactions, nutrients in excess can create toxicity, antioxidant in excess reverse the benefits acting as pro-oxidants, incompatible nutrients if administered together, reduce the efficiency of one another. Nutrients are also synergistic with each other helping to enhance the efficiency while reducing dosage in the right combinations.
The science of combining the right nutrients in low intermittent dosage, to maximize benefit is our cyclical nutrition program here at VISAGE HAIR RESTORATION CENTER.
Most patients today try individual nutritional supplements to correct hair loss. Some try iron supplements, some try calcium and vitamin D, some try high protein intake etc. Multiple nutrient deficiencies have been reported in hair loss patients. The fact is that, though the deficiency of these supplements is associated with hair loss, these are required to work, all at the same time. Nutrients are dependent on the support of one another; they do not work individually or in isolation. However, all these nutrients cannot be administered at the same time. Too many nutrients at a time can reduce the absorption, overload the transport, storage and activation pathways, getting excreted unused. Cyclical Therapy has evolved as a refined way of efficient nutrition delivery. We improve cellular response by providing nutritional supplements with clinically established Cyclical protocol which deliver wellness, Good Health & Improved Treatment Outcome. Here the nutrients in synergistic doses are administered on different days in a three day cycle. The approach reduces the dosage but improves efficiency, avoids antagonistic nutrients from being given together, prevents overdose and wastage of supplements. Cyclical Therapy has evolved as a refined way of efficient nutrition delivery.
Hair Transplant surgery is carried out under local anesthesia and can be done in 1 or 2 consequent days depending upon the number of hair grafts. It involves moving hair follicles from non-androgen dependent back of scalp into the frontal balding areas. which can give excellent, desired and permanent results
