The hair thickening agents explained

Propecia-It preserves the thinning hair which if left untreated will lead to balding. This medication is administered orally. It successfully hinders the functioning of the DHT Receptors. The DHT Receptors are responsible for the thinning out and falling of the hair.DHT, commonly known as Dihydrotestosterone is a naturally occurring chemical which is the leading cause of hair loss in both men and women.

Rogaine which is chemically minoxidil is a medication which is to be applied topically. The application is to be done on the scalp area.It increases the blood circulation in the scalp, which in turn leads to increment in the thickness of hair.

Both the medicines can be used in combination or individually. While individual results might be less effective, the combined effect will definitely be better. The results are better when both the medicines are used in combination. The patients have noticed thicker hair when they used both.

When the above two fail 

The above mentioned two methods are the proven medical solution to thinning hair. But these medications prove ineffective in the areas where the follicles have died out.

While Follicular Unit Transplant includes strip method in which strips of hair are extracted from certain areas of head which have abundant hair (like the back and the sides). The individual grafts are extracted after dissection from the strip.FUE uses fine needles to make the grafts and then finally place them in a certain pattern and density. Both the procedures are used as effective ways to combat hair loss.
