If you live in St. Louis and are starting to wonder where all your hair is going, worry not: there are many ways you can treat alopecia, so long as you stay consistent.
Identify Your Alopecia
There are many forms of alopecia and hair loss out there, so don’t get them confused and talk to your general practitioner or a hair treatment center (more on them in a minute), which often gives free first consultations. Your doctor will also be able to give you a prescription for certain hair treatment medication, as well as suggest medical tests to make sure your body will react well to such medication. Assuming you need it: your hair loss may just be the result of stress.
Medicate Responsibly
Luckily for people suffering from hair loss, there are several over-the-counter options that can provide relief, with Rogaine being among the most famous and effective. Look for biotin and keratin in pill and/or shampoo form, and also consider shampoos with ketoconazole, which helps limit DHT, the androgen in your body that is a primary contributor to hair thinning. Of course, you also have two potent hair treatment options available via prescription, namely finasteride and Dutasteride. While many people fear their side effects, the truth is that they only manifest in a tiny fraction of the population.
Consider Treatment at a Hair Restoration Center
There’s no shortage of centers in St. Louis that specialize in helping balding people getting a treatment that suits them. From wigs and extensions to hair transplants, laser treatments and PRP, their options are ample and will no doubt bring you some much needed relief.
