Male hair loss, otherwise known as Andreogenic Alopecia or male pattern baldness, is extremely common and caused by the effect of the male hormones (androgens) on genetically predisposed hair follicles, passed down the family tree (hereditary). Hereditary (male pattern) is the most common and is often triggered after the start of puberty through a combination of the male hormones (testosterone and dihydrotestosterone) and the subjects genetically inherited sensitivity to these hormones by scalp hair cell. The hairline starts to recede (bio-temporal recession) and the area starts to thin over a period of time, with the hair to the scalp of the scalp also thinning and becoming lighter. The hair around the sides and back are generally left completely unaffected and why these follicles are not affected remains one of the mysteries of life not yet solved.

The average full head of hair has approximately 100,000 to 150,000 individual strands, with between 90 to 95 percent in their growing phase (anagen), 2 to 3 percent in their regressive phase (categen) and 5 to 10 percent in their resting or shedding phase (telogen). The anagen phase lasts approximately 1,000 days, but can range from 2 to 6 years. The catagen and telogen phases together last approximately 2 to 3 months, following this period of time the hair falls out. It is normal to experience loss of approximately 40 to 80 hairs every day; however hair loss in exceeding this should be investigated by qualified hair specialists.

How Medical Prescriptions 2U hair loss treatment works

We treat each client individually and prescribe combination treatment courses for male hair loss accordingly for two main purposes; to block the DHT hormone (the cause of male hair loss) from reaching and destroying vulnerable hair follicles and to stimulate and increase the blood circulation that is crucially required to feed and nurture the existing hair follicles that are prone to the effects of male hair loss. Without treatment and good blood circulation the hair follicles will gradually shrink and die.

Medical Prescriptions 2U provide the best online genuine treatments for male hair loss and scalp problems which are available following your free online consultation.

What is Propecia?

Over 20 years ago a prescribed drug by the name of Proscar was approved for the prevention of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). Its active ingredient was 5mg of Finasteride, with the instruction to be taken once daily by men over the age of 60. Finasteride was shown to inhibit the formation of the hormone Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is known to help in the preventing the formation of Prostate Cancer. Dihydrotestosterone is also known to be the cause of male hair loss.

Through the Medical Prescriptions 2U free online consultation and our medical specialist doctors and physicians we are able to provide you with the best male hair loss treatments such as Propecia (Finasteride). Propecia is a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor and works by reducing or preventing the conversion of testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in your hair cell, culminating in helping to reverse the balding process. Propecia was the first oral tablet approved for the treatment of male pattern hair loss.
