Hair Loss - Tip #1

Do NOT buy a hair loss ‘solution’ before you have determined what has caused the problem.

There are a number of possible causes for hair loss and a doctor is the best person to speak with to determine exactly which it is. As a general rule, ageing and a hereditary pre-disposition to early hair loss accounts for 95 % of all hair loss cases. If you have experienced severe stress, trauma or undergone medical treatments that could have caused your hair loss too, in which case the condition is in most cases only temporary. A final reason is that you could have developed an immune system disorder that has resulted in some or all of your hair falling out. The bad news is that treatments for one condition do not always work if you have another condition. The good news is that most types of hair loss can be treated with a successful outcome.

Hair Replacement Surgery

Male pattern baldness is a genetic trait passed through the generations. If you suffer from male pattern baldness, it can make you feel uncomfortable in public. With the new inventions of cosmetic surgery, you can fight the genes that been given to you through hair replacement surgery. Hair replacement surgery will give you back your full head of hair, which will help you to look and feel better about yourself.

Hair replacement surgery is most often done after hair loss has stopped. Several methods are available for use, all which have been proven to be effective. The main technique is to take your own hair and use it to fill the bald areas. Over time, this hair will grow back into the head, creating a full head of hair. Scalp reduction is one method, in which hair is placed in the scalp area. Scalp flaps are also commonly used: incisions are made in the bald areas, and hair is placed in the incisions. Another procedure is plugs, including mini-plugs and micro plugs, depending on the hair being put into the balding area. These are only a few of the many different procedures used in hair replacement surgery.

Because the hair replacement procedure is extensive, it is a lengthy process--between one and three hours. Some techniques may require several procedures depending on the type of implant. In these cases, the hair will be slowly replaced over a certain period, allowing for a more natural growth.
