Hair restoration drugs and procedures for men are a multi million pound industry worldwide and the business is growing fast. Hair transplants are becoming more effective and realistic and so they are beginning to appeal to a larger proportion of men and women who previously would not have considered going to a surgeon for hair loss. Many people consider that they would rather go bald than have a hair transplant that looked awful and was obviously a transplant. The secret of a good hair transplant is that all the hairs are in a regular and uniform pattern and that the hairs looks real and are not all pushed into plugs in one area like you see the hair on a Barbie doll.

The biggest industry for hair loss is that for Male Pattern Balding as it is the most common type of hair loss and effects up to 50% of all men by the time they are 50. Most men do not do much about their hair loss and learn to live with it especially if they are older. Younger men are increasingly turning to proven hair loss drugs like Minoxidil and Propecia that can help the hair stay on your head without surgery.

Minoxidil works by being applied direct on to the scalp and stimulates the hair follicles to grow and Propecia works internally by blocking the formation of DHT under the scalp that kills hair follicles and causes hair to fall out.

More research is being done on possible genetic hair loss procedures that will stop the hair loss gene from being activated. If this discovery is completed and put into a commercial drug, Male Pattern Balding will be a think of the past with men being able to take a simple drug that will beat the hair loss at a molecular level doing away with the need for transplants or hair loss drugs.

Ukmedix can supply you with Propecia, (provided the doctor issues a prescription) which has been shown to be the most effective hair loss drug in clinical testing to date.
