Hair loss is something that can worry anyone. Not only does it reduce the hair on your head, but it also lowers your confidence level, which leads you to depression.
So, what do you need to do to stop this hair loss and restore your hair growth?
There are many options like medicines, topical creams, oils, PRP, mesotherapy and hair transplant surgery. However, what you’ll need depends entirely on your situation.
For example, if you are experiencing hair fall due to seasonal changes, it is a temporary phase. Proper hair care and medicated oils or creams can help. You can also consult a doctor and start taking some medicines which can fill your system with the right nutrients required for hair growth. Within a few weeks your hair fall will stop and new hair will start growing.
In cases of extreme hair thinning, these oils, topical creams and medications may not work effectively. You may have to go for non-surgical hair loss treatments like mesotherapy and PRP. These aim to replenish your scalp with essential nutrients that can help reduce hair loss and encourage hair re-growth. However, even these may not work if you have bald spots on your head.
Androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness is quite difficult to treat through hair loss remedies, medicines, oils and creams. In fact most may even believe that only a miracle can help them grow hair on their bald patches. Nevertheless, these miracles are performed on a day-to-day basis in many cosmetic clinics around the world.
Advancements in technology have introduced minimally invasive hair transplant procedures like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), which work wonders for people who want to get rid of their baldness.
How do hair transplant procedures work?
These are minimally invasive procedures where healthy hair follicles found on the back of your head are transplanted into the areas to be treated. Hair transplant works effectively for both male and female pattern baldness. However, the criterion is that you should have healthy hair growth on the back of your head. The thicker this growth, the better the results.
To understand these procedures, it is important to understand the two main methods of hair transplant: FUE and FUT.
Was:
FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction is a procedure in which hair follicles are extracted individually from the back of your head, dissected under a high powered microscope and transplanted individually into the area to be treated. Small incisions are made in the donor and recipient area followed by application of a numbing cream or local anesthetic, which takes care of any pain or discomfort you may experience. Since there is no wound or scar here, you recover faster. Eyebrow hair restoration, mustache transplant, eyelash transplant as well as sideburns and goatee transplants can be performed very well through FUE as it will reduce the number of grafts.
FT:
FUT or Follicular Unit Transplantation is a procedure in which a long thin strip of tissue is removed from the back of your head. These tissues are kept in a holding solution until the graft is prepared using a high powered microscope. Grafts are prepared in units of 1, 2, 3 and 4 and transplanted in the same manner to achieve completeness. Unlike FUE, FUT is a faster procedure by which thousands of grafts can be transplanted in a single session. Hence it works great for scalp transplant and beard transplant.
Many people have achieved successful results through hair transplantation. You can definitely be one of them. However, you have to make sure that you follow the instructions given by the hair transplant specialist carefully and attend multiple sessions if required to get the desired results which last for a long period of time.
