How to get rid of baldness due to heredity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alopecia: Androgentic Alopecia is due to elevated levels of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and causes miniaturization of the hair follicles in the scalp. Therapeutic options include DHT inhibitors such as Finasteride, Minoxidil helps to improve the blood flow to the scalp and helps prolong the anagen phase of the hair cycle. Low Level Laser Therapy has been shown to be very useful as well as PRP and stem cells.
