‘ TREAMENT
OPTION FOR
HAIR LOSS’
Medication
Hair loss caused by some underlying disease needs treatment
for that disease. It may also need drugs to reduce inflammation
and suppress your immune system, such as prednisone.
Approved medicines for treatment of hair loss include:
Minoxidil:
This is available as an over-the-counter liquid or foam
to be applied locally on the scalp. It has to be rubbed on
your scalp twice daily to grow hair and to prevent further
loss. It not only slows the rate of hair loss but also leads to
re-growth of hair. It takes about 12 weeks for new hair to
start growing. Minoxidil is available as 2 percent and 5
percent solution. If you stop using it, hair loss will restart.
Some of the common side-effects include scalp irritation,
unwanted hair growth on the adjacent skin of the forehead or face.
Finasteride: It is available as a prescription medication for
treatment of male-pattern baldness. It is approved for use only
by men. The medications is taken daily in the form of a pill.
Finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and in some men, it
may lead to new hair growth. It can cause side-effect, such as
diminished sex drive and sexual function. Only
rarely is the risk of getting a fast-growing type of prostate cancer
increased. It should be avoided by women of childbearing age.
Surgery
The most common type of permanent hair loss is the one
that affects only the top of the head. Surgical procedures use
the hair you are left with to cover the bald sections of the
scalp. Surgical procedures used for treatment of baldness are
effective, but expensive and can be painful. Some of the risks
associated with these procedures include infection and scarring.
