Hair loss is also referred to as alopecia or commonly known as baldness. It refers to hair deficiency to most parts of the body. The head is the most common part where it occurs. According to some people, this causes psychological distress to a person. The types of this are female and male pattern hair loss, telogen effluvium, and alopecia areata. In telogen effluvium, it becomes very thin.

Baldness or alopecia involves surgical operations and medications. It becomes severe in a small area and to the body entirely. Hair loss clinic for women Delaware offers some medications and other services for women since it usually happens to them.

In males, the usual cause is the combination of male hormone which is the dihydrotestosterone and genetics. For females, the cause still remains unclear. There are 3 medications that shows the evidence for the treatment for males and these are the finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil. These are used for preventing further loss rather than regrown. These are used together if there is a progressive loss. Some other medications include ketoconazole.

Finasteride provides a 30 percent of improvement after 6 months. Its effectiveness only takes place when the drug is consistently taken. This drug may often cause erectile dysfunction, depression, and gynecomastia. And also, it does not have any good evidence for women to use it. The minoxidil is said to be very effective for the improvement of growth after 3 to 6 months for both males and females with androgenic alopecia. The ketoconazole may be a help for the women. A spironolactone may also be used by women, an since it has some side effects for infertility in men, it is not advisable for them. Pregnant women cannot use this medication because it can cause ambiguous genitalia to newborns.

One treatment for this is transplantation which may involve surgical techniques. This is being done by moving the follicles individually from any part of the body or called as the donor site, to the bald part or the recipient site. This is usually used to treat male baldness. The hair follicles are being transplanted to the bald scalp.

There are still some people in Delaware who believe in treatments which are not proven. But there can still be small evidences for the effectiveness of minerals, vitamins, and some other dietary supplements for regrown and retain. Laser therapy is one unproven treatment. It uses special kinds of lights and lasers, but these are proven to be safe.

One dietary supplement which is called the saw palmetto is also used. Saw palmetto is really not recommended. Some have said that this is a tentative benefit for people with mild up to moderate androgenic alopecia. Aloe vera, biotin, bergamot, gingko, and ginseng are some supplements that are used as well.

Hair deficiency is prevented or slowed by the medications in its early stages. According to researches, there is a connection between loss and health issues. This issue concerns the heart.

But there are some articles which says that there is really no connection between baldness and coronary artery disease. So according to dermatologists, this must be conducted with further studies. Other factors are also still reviewed.
