Hair loss in men is most often caused by a genetic condition known as androgenetic alopecia. Androgen is the name of a male hormone that, when it combines with >>>, produces DHT. DHT is the real culprit to hair loss in men as it serves to suffocate and starve the hair follicles causing the hair to fall out and not be able to regenerate itself.

Although hair loss in men is not a serious disorder in terms of any threat to life expectancy, hair loss in men does cause serious trauma for many men and causes a drop in one's quality of life. Therefore, hair replacement treatments play a very important role for many men.

Hair replacement treatments range from transplant surgery to dietary changes including specially formulated hair replacement supplements. Hair replacement treatments also include some products that contain a DHT blocker. Hair loss in men is so prevalent that a lot of time and money has been put into research to develop new and existing hair replacement treatments.

Hair Replacement Treatment #1: Surgery

Surgical hair replacement is a good choice for many people who want to achieve successful hair replacement and who do not mind going under the knife. There are basically 2 forms of hair restoration surgery: 1) follicular unit transplantation (FUT); and 2) follicular unit extraction (FUE). In both cases, hair is surgically taken from the back of the head and replaced on the bald areas. In its new place, it should be able to reproduce normally and grow new healthy hairs.

Hair Replacement Treatment # 2: Products

There are many products that help in the process of hair replacement. These include shampoos, ointments and other hair care products that are applied topically. These products contain a DHT inhibitor that will help stop the suffocating effects of DHT. The important thing to remember if you choose to use such products is that any hair replacement product needs to 1) thoroughly clean old residue from the scalp and hair follicle; and 2) contain ingredients that will deter DHT from further damage of the hair follicle.

Hair Replacement Treatment # 3: Supplements

Another very effective way to achieve hair replacement is through the ingestion of herbal supplements that specifically target the needs of the hair follicle. Hair replacement happens naturally when the scalp and hair are healthy. Hair replacement supplements contain vitamins and minerals that are especially necessary for the hair to regain its optimal health. Remember also that herbal supplements are made from all natural ingredients so you will not have to worry about negative side effects.

Hair loss in men is a serious problem because not only does it affect his self esteem and quality of life, it could also indicate other health concerns. Therefore, hair replacement treatments are very beneficial in meeting both the physical appearance of a man as well as his physical well being. Hair replacement treatments vary in type and effectiveness, but there are many to choose from and the chances of achieving successful hair replacement are very high.
