Baldness Cures On The Internet. Should You Buy Them?
There is probably as many as 100 million men or more in the US who would love to find a baldness cure. Somewhere around 50 percent of men, it is estimated, will suffer from a degree of baldness in their lives and most of them would love to reverse their thinning hair. With numbers this big baldness cures abound on the Internet. But how do you find a good cure for baldness?
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.
There is very little regulation of the Internet and anyone can design a website to sell a cure for baldness without being required to show that it is safe or that it reverses hair loss. On the Internet it’s buyer beware.
Buying baldness cures on the Internet can be an easy way to get ripped off. There’s a good chance they won’t grow more hair on your head and they may well be harmful to your health and wallet. So should you just forget about finding a good cure for hair loss?
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 2 FDA approved baldness cures for men are finasteride and minoxidil. Finasteride is marketed as Propecia and is not approved for use in cases of hair loss by women because it has been shown to have some serious side-effects for women who use it to reverse hair loss. Although it is approved for men 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.
