Male pattern baldness is a genetic condition inherited
from either parent. For men experiencing hair loss of
this type, the genetically affected hair follicles are
susceptible to a byproduct of testosterone called dihydrotestosterone,
or DHT,
which causes the hair follicle to shed the normal hair
and produce thinner, shorter, colorless hair. For men
experiencing male pattern baldness, peach-fuzz hair makes
the scalp look thinner. Over time, the miniaturized hair
follicles atrophy and die causing permanent hair loss.
In the male balding areas, there is no peach-fuzz hair and
the scalp looks tight and shiny.
Baldness is an irreversible condition. Once the hair follicle
has atrophied, it is gone forever. This would be similar
to losing any other body part, and since we are not able
to reproduce our body parts, there are no male hair-loss
products or remedies that can force the body to produce
a new hair follicle.

Male Hair loss Prevention and Treatment
The good news is that male pattern hair loss can be prevented
if treated early. Further hair loss and follicle miniaturization
is preventable, and the hair-loss process can be reversed
from 1 to 5 years by transforming the miniaturized hairs
back to normal hairs. This process is also called hair
regrowth, although one cannot technically regrow any hair
but only reverse the miniaturization process. Here are
the currently available ways of preventing and reversing
male pattern baldness.
Growth Stimulants
The first male hair loss treatment approved by
FDA in the United States was Minoxidil, which is marketed
as Rogaine in the U.S. and Regain in Europe. Minoxidil
is a hair-growth product that targets the hair follicles
that have miniaturized due to female or male pattern baldness.
Minoxidil forces the hair follicles into the growth phase.
Although Minoxidil is a vasodilator, its effects are not
attributed to its ability to increase circulation and
its exact mode of action remains unknown. Since Minoxidil
does not inhibit DHT production, most experts believe
that it is not effective by itself as the DHT continues
to undermine and damage the hair follicle.
Revivogen offers a natural female male hair
loss solution and hair-growth product for both men and
women. Revivogen contains natural ingredients that have
shown to have the same effects as mainstream hair loss
remedies. Revivogen contains procyanidin oligomers, a
class of natural ingredients with growth-stimulating abilities
similar to Minoxidil. Procyanidin oligomers are found
in various fruits, with the highest quantities found in
grape-seed extract. Recent studies by Japanese Scientists showed that topical application
of grape-seed extract has hair-growth stimulation effects
similar to Minoxidil.
DHT
Inhibitors
Since the cause of hair loss in men and women
is a genetic predisposition to the hormone DHT,
any reasonable hair-loss treatment must include an anti-DHT
aspect. Propecia (Finastride) was the first FDA-approved
medication to address DHT for hair-loss treatment and
male pattern baldness. Propecia is an oral medication
that inhibits the function of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme,
which converts testosterone to DHT in various tissues
of the body. More specifically, Propecia inhibits the
type II form of 5 alpha-reductase by up to 70%. Propecia
is only available by prescription and is not recommended
for use by women. Propecia is a safe drug with less than
a 2% chance of side effects, which may include decreased
sex drive.
Since 98% of DHT is produced within the hair follicle
itself, local inhibition of DHT production yields better
results and has a lower chance of possible side effects.
Merck Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Propecia,
claimed that using the drug in a topical solution was
not effective. However, the company has recently filed
a patent application with U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
for the topical use of Propecia as a hair-loss solution.
Dutastride is one of the newest DHT
blockers, which is only FDA approved and available
for the treatment of prostate enlargement at this time.
The main difference between Propecia and Dutastride is
that Propecia only inhibits the type II form of 5-alpha
reductase enzyme by up to 70%, but Dutastride inhibits
both type I and type II forms of 5-alpha reductase by
up to 90%. As such, Dutastride inhibits DHT production
more effectively. Initial tests have shown that Dutastride
is effective for the treatment of hair loss, and based
on its mode of action, it is expected to be more effective
than Propecia. Dutastride is an oral medication as well,
and is expected to have the same side effects as Propecia.
Revivogen: The solution for male
pattern hair loss
Revivogen offers a natural alternative for men suffering
from male pattern hair loss. Revivogen is made with natural
ingredients that are clinically proven to reduce DHT production,
prevent DHT from entering the hair follicles and prompt
the hair follicles to enter the growth phase. Revivogen
is also a safe and effective hair-loss treatment for women
and it has no side effects.
Revivogen contains fatty acids, GLA, ALA, linoleic acid,
and oleic acid as topical DHT inhibitors. These natural
ingredients have been scientifically proven in multiple
studies to block type I and type II forms of the 5-alpha-reductase
enzyme by up to 90% when applied topically. This is similar
to Dutastride with the advantage of not having any negative
side effects.
Other anti-DHT ingredients in Revivogen include saw palmetto
extract, zinc and azelaic acid.
