Due to the changing season, it becomes difficult to manage and take care of the hair. Ignoring the importance of hair care can leave your hair weak, malnourished and change its texture, leading to breakage and hair fall. It becomes really important for you to take care of your hair properly as it is sensitive and very prone to damage. If the right action is not taken at the right time for your hair, then gradual hair loss will lead to permanent hair loss.
At this stage, people opt for hair loss treatments. There are many treatments for hair loss. Choosing the right one to suit your situation is important to prevent further damage. Hair loss has many causes, but they don’t come without hair loss treatment.
Here are some of the ways where you can try to stop hair loss through hair loss remedies.
• Minoxidil
Minoxidil is an over-the-counter medication approved by the FDA to stimulate new hair growth and stop hair loss in cases of hereditary baldness. Minoxidil is rubbed into the scalp twice a day.
• Hair transplant (surgery)
Hair transplantation is where a dermatologist removes a small patch of skin with the thickness of a full hair from a part of the body and transplants it into the bald patch. Multiple surgeries are usually performed over a few months.
• Prescription Finasteride
Oral finasteride (Propecia, Proscar) is an FDA-approved medication for baldness and is available only in pill form (one pill a day). It is strictly a prescription drug for men as it can have ill effects on the health of women.
Hair transplant can be classified into 2 types of hair loss treatment, i.e. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT).
1. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
In FUE hair transplantation, each follicular unit is taken individually directly from the scalp, with no strips of tissue removed. Hair follicles are removed in a random manner and the result is a low density in the donor area, which may not be noticeable. They have a faster healing time because no stitches are required, and no scar is left behind. Since it is a time consuming process, it is costlier than FUT.
2. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
The FUT procedure involves removing a small strip of tissue from the back of the head, from which donor hair follicles will be extracted. The hair follicles are harvested from the strip by a skilled clinical team before being individually transplanted into the recipient areas. Since this involves the removal of tissue, a linear scar is left behind, and some clients experience more discomfort and pain afterwards than those who get the FUE procedure. The industry benchmark for pricing is an anti-corruption basis.
These hair loss treatments are much more complex in nature and require more reading and consultation to see if you need to do this for your hair. It is highly recommended that you consult a reputed and certified clinic or doctor before taking a decision. There are too many factors involved in deciding what type of hair loss treatment you should choose, such as your health, your immunity, and many other important factors.
