With age, the probability increases that the hairs fall out and usually it involves hereditary hair loss.
Hair loss is a problem for many men. "Until the age of 80 are about 80% of all men more or less affected," explains Natalie Garcia Bartels (center of excellence for hair of the Charité in Berlin). A loss of up to 100 hairs a day is normal. What goes beyond that applies as hair loss. " Mostly it involves hereditary hair loss, the so-called androgenetic alopecia, which can use from age 20 to men. " In order to stop the hair loss to resort to two agents whose effect is proven by studies.
To the men suffering hair loss form the different views, borders the part to myths. Surely this is also because that doctors do not even know everything about the creeping hair loss. In fact, the disease is so widespread that health insurance companies do not even classify as a disease and therefore not accept any treatment costs. The research is very advanced in recent years. "Hair loss is not destiny any more," said Professor Hans Wolff (expert in dermatology at the Munich Ludwig- Maximilians- University).
Cause research for hair loss
According to current knowledge, the "androgenetic alopecia" of man is based on a system-dependent sensitivity of the hair shafts under the skin to male sex hormones (androgens). "There is an enzyme that converts the male hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, whereas in turn develop the hair follicles a strong sensitivity", this explains the endocrinologist Gerd Hofmann of Munich. The shafts of the hair follicles are located under the skin. The follicles wither away little by little, the hair lose its thickness and length, and are becoming finer and thinner , finally, a bald head forms. It is always the hair above the ears and at the lower back of the head are preserved because they are resistant to the sex hormone.
Stop means for hair loss
"First, there is the active ingredient finasteride, which is actually used in high doses for the treatment of prostate", explains Natalie Garcia Bartels, the current findings. "The Inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone into the more harmful for the hair root dihydrotestosterone." This prescription drug must be taken daily. Currently it is available in tablet form. however, as mentioned previously, the costs must be borne by each itself, since the insurance companies they will not notice. "Stop to the treatment, the hair loss will continue to go back to the rule as previously. "
For external use, the active ingredient Minoxidil is provided. Originally, this material was developed as an antihypertensive drug. "This tincture should be applied twice a day," Garcia Bartels says. While finasteride can be stopped at 80 percent of users of hair loss, the success rate is the minoxidil at about 70 percent of all cases.
Clean up with fairy tales for hair loss
More effective hair growth drugs there is not currently. Even cosmetic products that contain caffeine and creatine or perceived other active ingredients of aloe to zinc, no or at most a limited impact on investment-related hair loss. Very many of the highly touted miracle cure ' stay every promise guilty.
However, far fewer external factors affect the hair loss, as most men believe. Neither wearing a hat or toupees still frequent hair washing or combing hair faster with a bald head. Not even stress or a "wrong" affect nutrition, how fast or slow hair to fall out. Multivitamins, iron tablets, gelatin capsules, silica, Hefetabletten and all the else offered and highly advertised, remedies are also ineffective in hereditary baldness.
To stand learning to baldness
In an American study by Professor Albert E. Man (management professor at the University of Pennsylvania), his character even support a bald head, is to be able to show that the image of a bald-headed man is often associated with " hypermasculinity." From film and television is often know action hero with bald heads. In the study " Shorn scalps and Perceptions of Male Dominance " Prof. man showed subjects pictures of men with and without hair . Respondents linked with the bald-headed men terms such as "dominant", "greater than" and "more." So the result of the study, published in the journal "Social Psychological and Personality Science," writes.
Probably it would be better if a man learns to stand on his bald head, says the psychologist Roland Henss from Saarbrücken. Because bald also advantages. " Studies have shown that men are not only an average of three to four years older estimated with a bald head, than they actually are, bald men are usually regarded as a family man and faithful husbands," says Henss.
