How To Beat The Battle Against Hair Loss

Hair loss is a serious issue amongst men and women alike. There have been various solutions for slowing the hair loss process, and remedying it altogether. Through a series of interventions which combine surgery and medication, modern hair loss solutions are getting a better reception than ever.

Back when hair replacement first became popular, the results of transplant techniques were often dubbed as looking fake. This was because the techniques used strips of hair follicles that when transplanted resembled the hair on a dolls head. Since then, more intricate procedures have allowed less intrusive and less noticeable surgery to take place that leaves a more natural result.

The treatment is known as Follicular Transfer. By transplanting only a few hairs at a time in a randomized fashion that reflects the pattern growth usually seen on the scalp, FT has become a popular option for those suffering from hair loss. Because the procedure is relatively un-intrusive, and can be performed in short sessions, it is also not as noticeable as other hair loss treatments.

The surgery is also combined with specific medication to help reduce the rate of hair loss, and to also encourage new hair growth. This is often not suitable for female hair loss patients as one of the medicines contains a hormone that will also promote the growth of facial hair, but there are still plenty of options available for female patients.

Hair loss in female patients is said to be as common as it is in men, although male pattern baldness gets much more coverage in medical circles. Hair loss can be caused by illness, genes and stress; emotionally as well as physically. Tension alopecia is a condition where balding patches are caused by physical stress on the hair. This can be through a hair pulling habit, or from having certain hair styles, such as dreadlocks for too long.

The stress on the scalp causes thinning, but if the problem is addressed promptly, it is possible to slow the process down dramatically, and even stop it altogether. Unfortunately, other causes of hair loss need more intense intervention that can only be performed with the help of an expert in the field. Depending on the extent of loss, a patient will be advised on the best course of action to take from a variety of solutions.

The choice broadly consists of cosmetic solutions which include concealing make-up, hair weaves, wigs and hair pieces; through to medical solutions of medication, surgery, or a combination of the two.
