For those who choose not to have hair transplants Propecia is applied on the vortex and the anterior mid-scalp area. Working as a hair restoration product, propecia stops hair loss by preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. Baldness typically results from dihydrotestosterone interacting with the hair follicles that are genetically vulnerable to the effects. DHT binds with the receptor sites of the vulnerable follicles and disrupts the follicles’ ability to produce healthy hair gradually, which results in baldness in the affected areas. Therefore, DHT is essentially the active ingredient or catalyst for the hair loss process. As an alternative for hair transplants, Propecia works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into DHT and so, by reducing the amount of DHT present n the scalp. The thinning process is then slowed and sometimes even reversed.
Propecia does slow down the hair loss process and stimulates new hair growth for those with early to moderate degrees of hair loss and baldness. For most men, Propecia actually does its job in hair restoration by increasing the number of scalp hairs by filling in the thin or balding areas of the scalp. But sometimes Propecia is not enough-some men have to resort to hair transplants such as the Body Hair Transplants.
If Propecia Does Not Work, your alternatives include hair transplants as in this patient from Dr U
Dr. Umar at DermHair Clinic has a number of patients, who after a few years of using Propecia, end up getting hair transplants to restore their hair because the propecia did not deliver the desired results, or because they could not tolerate it due to side effects. The most dreaded side effect of propecia for men is that of erectile dysfunction. In particular, the Body Hair Transplants that Dr. Umar has created is the most effective. Being minimally invasive and scar-free, the new form of hair restoration is becoming more and more popular amongst men suffering from hair loss and baldness. Come by and Dr. Umar will assess what is the best possible treatment for you.
