[blockquote] It is typically isolated to specific areas of the head, particularly hair thinning on the crown of the head, temples, and a receding hair line. The predominant cause for male pattern baldness is genetic inheritance and hormonal effects.[/blockquote]

Male pattern baldness can not be prevented. However, there are certain ways that you can strengthen and ensure your overall hair health.

There are a lot of myths connected with male pattern baldness. Today we have all the scientific evidence that hats do not cause baldness, neither hair products nor traumatic experiences (however the latter can cause alopecia areata another reversible cause of alopecia)
The latest progress in the treatment of alopecia is Finasteride and Minoxidil
Finasteride (Propecia) is an antiandrogenic agent which has significant hair regrowth properties. It is also useful as adjuvant to other hair loss treatment where it 1) make it work better 2) Help prevent tolerance.
Minoxidil (Regaine) is a blood vessel dilating hair regrowth stimulator. Vessel dilatation is not directly related to hair regrowth but there is a possible explanation: Nitrovasodialators mimic some natural messenger substance coincidentally mediating both blood vessel dilatation and hair growth. Currently, the best candidate is nitric oxide.
Each patient requires customized treatment depending on patients age and the staging of alopecia
[blockquote]The latest development in the treatment of alopecia is AYTOLOGOUS MESOTHERAPY.[/blockquote]
The growth factors which come from our own organism (isolated from our blood) are inserted with small injections(Mesotherapy) on the scalp and trigger the hair niches! Three sessions are required with a distance of one month.
