By the time you finish reading this, you'll know about all the legitimate genetic hair loss treatment options available to you. And believe it or not, there's actually less worthwhile options than you may think.

Now obviously, you could have certain medical procedures done to significantly increase the number of hairs on your scalp. But these are rather expensive and can even be a bit painful. We're going to go over the other options you have instead of these ones.

You may be surprised, but there is really only two genetic hair loss treatment options that are really worth trying. These are the two that have been approved by the FDA. All the other genetic hair loss treatment options that are available are pretty much a waste of time and money.

The one that's considered to be the best option for balding is Finasteride (also known as Propecia or Proscar). It comes in a pill form and you need to get a prescription from your doctor in order to take it. But nonetheless, it's worked great for many people that have tried it.

However, not as many people as you think are trying it in light of the potential side effects that come with it. What side effects am I referring to? About 1 in every 50 people that take Finasteride end up developing some kind of adverse sexual side effect, such as impotence, erectile dysfunction, and decreased libido.

If you're not that impressed with those odds and you'd like to take a more safe route, Minoxidil is the other option worth testing. It's a topical substance that requires no prescription to use. And even though it doesn't work for quite as many people as Finasteride does, it's still considered a top genetic hair loss treatment.

Do yourself a favor and try at least one of these genetic hair loss treatment options out for yourself before it's too late. Once the window passes where you can do something about your hair loss, your options certainly become much more limited.
