Treatment for frontal baldness

One of the initial symptoms of male pattern baldness is a receded hairline, also known as frontal baldness. It is mostly seen in men but sometimes women also face the wrath of androgenic alopecia. Female androgenic alopecia patients mostly suffer from generalized hair thinning over the entire scalp, but in some women it becomes more notable at the frontal region. If you are also a victim of frontal baldness, worry not. There are some really effective treatments that you can use to regrow your receded hairline. While there are numerous treatments claiming to stop or slow frontal baldness, only two of them have got US Food and Drug Administration’s approval. These include topical and oral medicines and surgical hair restoration, with the latter being only permanent solution for hair loss.

Causes of frontal baldness:

Before discussing the most effective treatment of frontal baldness, let’s first have a look at what exactly causes hair shedding. There are numerous medical conditions and circumstances that can cause hair thinning at the frontal areas of scalp, with Androgenic Alopecia being the main contributor. It is a hormonal disorder in which increased levels of Dihydro testosterone (DHT) in the body cause hair shedding, more in the frontal region and at the crown area. DHT inhibits growth of hair follicles and causes existing hair to shed. Over the time hair in the affected areas become less dense and thinner. Other causes of frontal hair loss include nutritional deficiencies, fungal infections, different ailments and hormonal imbalance. Certain medical treatments like chemotherapy also cause a person to shed hair. Whatever may be the reason behind your hair loss, you can regrow them using either of following treatments:

Medical treatment:

Minoxidil and Finasteride are two clinically tested, FDA-approved hair loss medicines. Both these medicines are really effective in treating mild to moderate hair loss. If you still have some hair remaining in the frontal area, try either of these medicines and see your hair regrowing within a few months.

Minoxidil is an over the counter topical application that comes in varying strengths, 2%, 4% and 5%. 2% can be used by both men and women while the higher concentrations are for men only. Continuous use of Minoxidil for 2 to 3 months triggers hair regrowth in up to 40% cases.

Finasteride is an FDA approved oral medication used for treating severe cases of androgenic alopecia. It is a prescription medicine that cannot be purchased without doctor’s advice. It is more effective as compared to Minoxidil and has shown positive results in up to 60% cases.

While both Minoxidil and Finasteride are really effective in triggering hair growth, their results are temporary. The hair starts shedding as soon as a person discontinues their use. Also, they have their own side effects that can be quite serious in some cases.

Hair Transplant Surgery:

If you are seeking a safe and permanent treatment of frontal baldness, a hair transplant surgery may be worth considering. Unlike medicines, the surgery does not regrow new hair. Instead, it redistributes existing healthy hair on a person’s scalp, or body even. Baldness resistant hairs at the back or sides of the scalp are usually used for transplantation. The surgeon uses either of FollicularUnit Transplant and FollicularUnit Extraction techniques for donor hair harvesting.

Natural remedies for frontal baldness:

There are a number of time tested natural remedies as well to regrow lost hair. If you are not a huge fan of medicines and surgical procedures, you can always benefit from them. Here are some really effective natural remedies for hair regrowth:

·         Coconut milk: It is one of the richest sources to nourish damaged hair tissues. Grind fresh coconut flakes in a food processor and squeeze its juice. Use this juice to massage frontal areas of the scalp daily. This will not only help prevent hair loss but will also trigger hair growth. Repeat this daily for a couple of months to see any improvement.

·         Aloe Vera gel: Pure aloe gel, when applied directly to the scalp, helps counter hair loss and regrow new hair in the affected areas. Aloe Vera application can help treat hair loss mainly caused by dry, infected scalp. Massage the gel on your scalp for 5 to 10 minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water after waiting for a couple of hours.

·         Onion and Garlic: Both onion and garlic are rich in sulfur – a mineral that assists healthy hair growth. Extract onion juice after chopping it finely and apply to the entire scalp, focus particularly on affected areas. Wait for 25 to 30 minutes before you wash your head. To use garlic for treatment of frontal baldness, boil it with 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and massage your scalp regularly with this oil.
