Thousands of men deal with hair loss as they age.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New England Patriots player Wes Welker isn\u2019t making headlines for his actions on the field, it\u2019s his hair that\u2019s getting the attention. Welker admits he had a hair transplant in July. The wide receiver told TMZ<\/a> he wanted to combat his thinning hair and decided on a transplant.<\/p>\n

Welker is not alone. As men age, thousands deal with thinning hair. A hair transplant is one option, oral medication, like Propecia, is another.<\/p>\n

Happy with the results<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welker says he is thrilled with the results. A Rhode Island doctor performed the procedure, which took five hours. Welker is reportedly so happy with his new do he\u2019s agreed to appear in a commercial with Dr. Robert Leonard, the man who performed the procedure.<\/p>\n

The doctor says Welker will start to see growth in about five months. Welker says there was no recovery time needed, he was able to wear his helmet and participate in practice.<\/p>\n

Another option, Propecia<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a hair transplant seems a bit drastic, there are other alternatives to combat hair loss. Propecia, an oral medication, has been proven to stimulate hair growth.<\/p>\n

Propecia, which is available through Edrugstore.com, can also treat hair loss.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Like many drugs, the power of Propecia<\/a> was discovered by accident. Originally drug makers were hoping this medication would treat enlarged prostates and instead, found out this medication could help people grow hair.\u00a0 Propecia is said to alter a chemical, DHT, that leads to hair loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is DHT that shrinks or miniaturizes the hair follicle, which eventually leads to baldness. This 60% reduction in DHT has proven to stop the progression of hair loss in 86% of men taking the drug during clinical trials,\u201d WebMD stated in a recent article.<\/p>\n

As always, it’s best to talk to a doctor about all of the options before making a decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
