Any man that has experienced premature hair loss and balding, or is experiencing such problems at the moment, will know just how debilitating this can be. Whilst some people may think that hair loss is just an aesthetic problem and that men should just get over it and play the hand that they have been dealt, this is actually a problem that can go much further than just aesthetics.
Of course, some men have no qualms about losing their hair and to them it really is plain and simple aesthetics. However, for many other men, losing their hair can have a profound effect on the way they feel. Many men lose their self-esteem and confidence along with their hair and this can make a big difference to their overall quality of life.
Finasteride is a drug designed to help men who are experiencing hair loss and baldness. This medication is aimed at helping to stop any further hair loss; so the earlier men consider taking it, the better. However, this medication is unable to stimulate hair regrowth, it can only stop hair loss or further baldness.
There are in fact a number of main benefits that come with this hair loss treatment and some of these include the following:
- This medication may be able to stop any further hair loss in men that have been losing their hair. It can therefore prove very effective for men who start taking it early before too much hair is lost
- Finasteride comes in the form of a small pill, which only has to be taken once a day in order for men to start benefitting from its effects. This means that there is no need for inconvenient ointments that have to be rubbed onto the scalp each day. It also means that you can take your medication discreetly even when you are away on a holiday or business trip
- Whilst there are side effects that are associated with this treatment, many men experience no side effects at all from taking finasteride, and instead enjoy only the benefits of the treatment
- Clinical trials have been carried out on the effectiveness of finasteride in men that are suffering from baldness and hair loss. The results of the testing have shown that for many men, finasteride can be very effective, in terms of stopping further hair loss
