New Web Site From Merck Offers Men Hope With Information on Male Pattern Hair Loss
As people age, the rate of hair growth slows and now the millions of men who are
looking for information on male pattern hair loss (MPHL) have a new online
resource to turn to. www.hairlosshope.com is a Web site designed to continually
update visitors on the latest MPHL myths, tips for treatment and recent industry
news.
Through podcasts, interactive programs and FAQ's that help determine one's
hair-loss stage, men can search out specific answers to questions they have
regarding their hair loss.
Men who visit the web site can easily find a local
doctor in their area who can help them with evaluating their hair-loss situation
and treatment options that would be appropriate for them by simply entering
their zip code.
Many of these doctors offer a free consultation.
"Many men believe certain myths like wearing hats or using excessive hair
products causes hair loss and thus there is a need for credible online resources
where visitors can get the answers to their questions," said Ken Washenik, M.D.,
Ph.D., New York University School of Medicine.
"Hairlosshope.com is a great way for men to get important information on male
pattern hair loss."
Over the months of October and November men interested in receiving information
