There is a huge number of men in America searching for baldness cures. Somewhere around half of all men will suffer from thinning hair and so there must be hundreds of millions of men who would buy a cure for baldness if there was one that was demonstrated to work. With numbers this big there are dozens of baldness cures on the Internet. But do these curesfor baldness work?
Baldness cures of any type are not cheap. For this reason the market for hair loss treatments is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and where there is a market that size there will be many many products available. However that does not mean that they all work or even that they are all safe for anyone to use.
The Internet is unregulated. Anyone can design a website and sell a baldness cure without any requirement that it be demonstrated to work or that it be demonstrated to be safe to use. On the internet it’s a serious case of buyer beware.
It’s very easy to get ripped off buying baldness cures on the Internet. Not only is there a fair chance they will not reverse your hair loss there is also a likelihood that they may be harmful to your health and to your wallet. Does this mean that you should forget about regrowing your hair?
No you need not forget about it at all. We have an organization in the US called the FDA whose task it is to examine products like these and, if it is satisfied that it is appropriate, to approve them for use. The FDA has approved 2 products as men’s baldness cures for cases of thinning hair in men including cases of male pattern baldness which causes over 90 percent of cases of male balding.
We can fairly assume that if the FDA is satisfied that these products work as baldness cures there is sufficient evidence that this is the case. In fact there are scientific studies demonstrating that these products work as a cure for baldness. Whilst that may be the case they will not work for everybody and no product works as a baldness cure for everybody.
The FDA has approved minoxidil and finasteride as men’s hair loss treatments. Finasteride is marketed as Propecia and is not approved for use in cases of women’s hair loss because it has been demonstrated to cause some serious side-effects for women. It can also have some side-effects for men including loss of libido.
Minoxidil is approved as a hair loss treatments for men and women and is the only product so approved. The current wisdom is that it works because it improves the flow of blood to hair follicles which increases the flow of nutrients so that the hair follicle can absorb more nutrition. In cases of male pattern baldness the actual hair thinning is caused by a male hormone which restricts the flow of nutrients to the hair follicle so this would seem to make sense.
And whilst it is clear that minoxidil on its own works as a hair loss treatment one company has seen an opportunity to improve the results and has combined minoxidil with essential hair nutrients to maximize the chances that their hair follicles will absorb enough nutrients to start to regrow hair.
It seems that this approach is more effective than simply using minoxidil by itself.
So if you’re looking for baldness cures on the Internet remember to beware. Whilst there are many cures for baldness available only 2 have been approved by the FDA as a hair loss treatment for men. Minoxidil is the only product approved as a male pattern baldness cure and also as a hair loss treatment for women.
