Hair Loss Propecia

For Men Only

Alopecia Areata is commonly known as “Male Pattern Baldness,” characterized by receding hairline in the frontal area and a balding spot on the crown of the head. Thought to be somewhat caused by heredity, many internal and environmental factors also contribute.

Research shows that male pattern baldness is the result of the production of DHT, a product of enzyme reaction on testosterone. DHT causes hair follicles to shrink and thus cease producing new hair. Obviously the “fix” for this is to find something that will cause the follicles to open up again and to begin to produce new hair.

Propecia was originally a drug used to assist in the shrinking of the prostate in older males. The side effect of hair loss reduction and some new hair growth was simply a surprising event. Studies began after this realization, and results show that 80% of males in those studies experienced a reduction of hair loss, and some degree of reversal. Other facts about Propecia include the following:

1.    It is not as effective in the frontal area of the scalp. No one knows why.
2.    It is more effective if begun within the first 5 years of hair loss.
3.    It is not recommended for men with liver problems

Even with Propecia’s success, Provillus does not have all these limiting factors. If you are wondering what Provillus is, Provillus is an oral supplement, which works to block DHT, a form of testosterone that is responsible for 95 percent of hair loss. It also works to stimulate the scalp and bring dead follicles back to life. You can use Provillus as a preventive supplement, starting the program before hair loss becomes severe, or you can use it after DHT has already begun to take hold of your hair and scalp. You can get it at www.provillus.com.

WARNING: Women cannot take this drug if they are of child-bearing age. It can cause birth defects, in male children especially, and pregnant women are advised not to even handle these pills. As well, there is some concern that women who become pregnant with the sperm of a male on Propecia are at much greater risk for male baby defects.

Users of Propecia must be patient. It may take from 3 months to a year to see definite results from the drug; the older you are, the longer it may take.
