The Most Common Form Of Hair Loss
The most common form of hair loss that equals approximately 95 percent of men that lose their hair is attributed to male pattern hair loss. By age 50 at least half of the 95% of males have experienced hair loss, and will continue to lose hair unless they begin a hair regiment to stop the loss. It is also not uncommon for men to not notice hair loss until they have lost approximately 50% of their hair.
One of the most used treatments for hair loss is Propecia, this is an FDA approved drug that was designed specifically for men to treat male pattern baldness. This is because it treats the condition in two ways; it promotes the growth of new hair while at the same time stopping the hair loss. Topical solutions are not able to do this and can also cause a dry scalp, which promotes itching and that can lead to further loss of hair and damage to new hair growth.
The percentage of men that are using the FDA approved drug Propecia is estimated at 5 million from statistics. This is an easy amount to estimate, since this is the only hair loss treatment medication that is a prescription medication proven to work.
