Hair
Restoration
Hair loss is something that is inevitable in both men and women.
Men tend to lose hair between the ages of 20 – 40 and
women, around the age of 40. There are many causes for hair
loss, where the most common reason is hormonal changes in the
body. Once you start losing hair, you have to consider hair
restoration to re-grow
your hair.
Today, medical
hair restoration is available in two categories. The first
option is using drugs for hair restoration and the second
option lies in using clinical procedures for treating hair
loss. There are many hair loss restoration medicines available,
which have been approved by FDA for use in treating male and
female
pattern baldness.
Drugs used for hair restoration
The most famous drugs are Minoxidil and Finasteride which
are available anywhere, over the counter. The clinical hair
restoration procedures are hair transplant surgeries, which
are advised when it is not possible to restore hair using
only drugs.
The concept of using hair restoration surgery for hair restoration
lies in the transplanting of hair from permanent hair bearing
regions of balding
people (the donor area) to the bald or balding areas of the
scalp, the recipient area.
After hair restoration, there may be some initial hair fall
after which the transplanted hair regrows for as long as it
would have grown in the donor’s area. This hair also
has the same color and characteristics of the other hair in
the donor area.
Different regions for hair restoration surgery
In hair restoration surgery, one of these three areas can
be treated in a session. The first area is the frontal area
from the hairline to a vertical line from the ears and the
second region is the mid-scalp area that extends from this
same balding area to the point on the scalp where the head
changes from a horizontal position on the ground to a vertical
position.
The third region is from the vertex area, or the balding
area, to the furthest balding area on the scalp. The doctor
will decide on which area to tackle first, based on the extent
and type of male pattern baldness or female baldness you are
suffering from. It is comforting for women to learn that women
rarely go bald; they usually suffer from some hair loss, and
thinning
of hair.
Find out more about hair restoration costs
If you have to undergo hair restoration surgery, you will
definitely be worried about hair restoration costs. This is
why it is better to find out what you can about the type of
surgery you will be going through, and the cost for the procedure
before deciding on the surgery.
This information is not only available from your doctor;
you can also get lots of information about the hair restoration
costs and techniques through the internet. Basically, the
cost for the surgery depends on various factors like your
past medical history, the extent of hair loss you are suffering
from and the number of sessions required for hair restoration.
