About androgenic alopecia - TrichoZed - How To Cure Hair Loss and Hair Fall

For all those of you who wonder what really is androgenic alopecia in the form of male baldness. In the following I will try to explain what is the mechanism of this insidious shit, what are the only effective medications on the market today, and what's new in the industry.

All of us who suffer from androgenic alopecia / male pattern baldness ... means that we have inherited variation in the androgen receptor gene, which can occur in more or less depending on the genetic chance + our environment (diet, stress and etc.). The interesting thing about this gene in men that is located in the X chromosome and usually inherited from the mother.

Given that you have inherited the gene - androgen receptors you are very prone to attracting and retaining the characteristic male hormones - especially dehidrotestosteron (DHT). DHT is a waste product (hormone), which is obtained by the interaction of testosterone and enzyme 5 alpha reductase.
Large amounts of DHT in the scalp and hair follicles especially in doing something (no one has yet solved what exactly), resulting in a number of reactions. First dermal papilla began producing large quantities of DKK-1 (this is a gene that carries the information super spetseifichen protein, which in turn is associated with embryonic development; inhibiting WNT), which leads to death of cells of type keratin (a major type of cells that make up over 90% of all epidermal cells) in the hair root. It is believed that the death of these cells, our immune system starts attacking the hair follicles, which leads to increased TGG beta (growth hormone) and deposition of collagen tissue. Process in which our immune system tries to eliminate dead cells, this attack consists in gradual miniaturization of hair follicles. So the hairs themselves are getting smaller and the time the follicle is closed completely stop growing. This is probably male pattern baldness
In a sense, androgenic alopecia occurs in people with very strong immune system, well functioning androgen receptors (to attract and retain DHT) and well-functioning enzyme 5 alpha reductase.

Among the millions of junk that can be found in i-net, there are two drugs that are clinically proven and approved by the FDA (United States Agency, which controls the Food and Drug Administration).

Rogaine - Minoksidil.Tozi active ingredient preparation is applied topically and is a strong stimulant to hair growth. Characteristic of him is that nobody knows exactly how works. All the evidence about its effectiveness are empirical, not supported theoretically.

Proscar or Propeica - active ingredient finasteride. This article is taken orally and works by inhibiting the interaction of testosterone and 5 alpha reductase. Thus regulate / reduce DHT in the body and scalp respectively. Recently the market has products with finasteride, which are applied topically to collapsing. Since finasteride has documented side effects: Rabbi gynecomastia, decreased libido, etc.

There are two drugs that are currently at the stage of testing the third phase in the FDA:

Avodart - Dutasteride active ingredient. This article is taken orally and works in a very similar way to finasteride. Although many people use Avoart and some of them have impressive results, the drug has not yet been agreed upon by the FDA. It is believed that the side effects of Avodart can be much more ferocious than in Finasterid.

Nizoral (shampoo) - 2% active ingredient Ketokanazol. This is a shampoo, which is believed to be a weak inhibitor of DHT from the scalp. It is recommended to combine with finasteride.

As I said at this stage there is no successful means of treating androgenic alopecia. Above mentioned drugs can slow the process of balding, but can not cure it completely. The good news is that there are many companies working on improving and creating much more effective medicines, methods and procedures.

1) Follica Inc. - According to many "familiar" in other forums this is the most promising company with a totally revolutionary method. Basis of their technology is dermbrazio - removing the top layer of the scalp surgically. Then locally for 2 weeks having a super special preparation on the wounded epidermis, which helps the growth of new hair follicles. Very soon Follica Inc. patented this process, the idea being that the patent is transmitted to the dermatologists who perform the manipulation.
2) Intercytex Inc. - In addition Intercytex 5 other independent companies working on another revolutionary method - cloning hair follicles. Simply put the procedure will be a multiplication of your hair follicles, which have not yet affected by DHT. New cloned follicles will be injected into affected areas kospoad. Unfortunately, this procedure seemed very hopeful about 1 year, but recently I read an interview with the CEO of Intercytex and he predicts the service released no earlier than 2013-2014.
Natural DHT Inhibitors - In nature are many natural DHT inhibitors: green tea extract, caffeine, soy, licorice (saw palmetto), etc. There are companies who have gone in this direction and their desire to create something kind without side effects. Open a brace - all "products" which can be found in i-net and have in their composition, Saw Palmetto does not work. Do not spend money on junk.
My treatment started before 1 year and 1 month. Started directly with the so-called "Big 3": Finasteride, Nizoral, Minoxidil.

Result: Total thickening the hair, most significantly in the crown. In front (the only place that requires Minoxidil) have worsened slightly.
Side Effects: Between 6-9 months had deteriorated almost libido and was about to drop Fin-a, but then everything is already out and now I feel great.
I use minoxidil 5% from 5-6 months and had a good effect, especially on top of the head. Above the forehead almost no effect, only blond hair.
I do not know why 3-4 weeks rather strengthen hair loss - was not so a year or two and wonder whether it is due to minoxidil ....
Unfortunately I can not show you a picture because I never did, but personally to me Minoxidil does not work. I use it only on the front of the forehead and one year I got slightly worse. Basically its operation there is not so effective - it says so right there on the packaging + follicles are most susceptible to retention of DHT.

Otherwise no one can say whether you will have a positive effect. Adult no attention!
But were you I would not started finasteride, currently at the age of which they have to do experiments with hormones. In this vazrasgt DHT is very important for your physical development.
