What would you give up or do in order to stop or to regain all of your hair loss from Male Pattern Balding? We have been talking about this in the Ukmedix newsroom recently after having seen the results of a survey done by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery that asked men about their hair loss and what they would give up in order to get their hair back.

The survey showed that 57% of men who had MPB would be happy to get rid of an important possession if it meant that they could regrow their hair and of these 21% said that they would rather go without a mobile phone than hair. Seventeen percent said that they would rather have hair than have an expensive car of their dreams.

The figures clearly show that some men value their hair very highly and that is why the hair loss industry is worth so much money. In the Ukmedix newsroom opinions varied. The younger men who suffered from Male Pattern Balding were far more likely to value their hair very highly compared to other older men who just couldn’t care less and were comfortable being bald. The younger hair loss kicks in for men the more traumatic it tends to be and these men form the majority of customers at Ukmedix seeking hair loss help and guidance for their balding problem.

The drug Propecia is the best drug for hair loss prevention in young men as it is easy to use and has the highest clinically proven rates of success of any hair loss drug in the world. It works by preventing the compound called dihydrotestosterone from building up in the scalp. This compound DHT is what kills the hair follicles in the scalp and thus it is what causes the male pattern hair loss.
