Hair restoration treatments are a successful way for men and women to restore hair for a thicker, more natural look and feel.В Because nearly 50% off all men and women experience hair loss, successful hair restoration treatments have quickly grown in popularity. There are many different reasons why men and women lose their hair, and those experiencing hair loss are always looking for a way to get it back.В Whether caused by illness, genetics or medication, over the years several hair restoration treatments have become available that can assist in maintaining or restoring hair.В Finding one that works for you will help you to achieve the natural look and feel you desire.
There are several different types of hair restoration; each is designed depending on specific factors surrounding each individual’s hair loss. There are medications that can be taken such as Propecia (finasteride); this is a daily pill that can help to restore and maintain hair loss in men. Propecia is not designed to restore hair; instead it ceases the progression of hair loss, and maintains the remaining hair. As long as patients continue to take the pill, hair loss will no longer occur. Topical treatments such as Minoxidil (Rogaine) are topical treatments that are used to maintaining existing hair as well as stimulate new hair growth; it has been reported that up to 50% of both men and women experience some hair re-growth when using this product.
While the above treatments will only work as long as you use them, there are more permanent forms of hair restoration as well; one of which is hair transplantation.В Hair transplantation involves removing hair from one area of the head; usually an area that is genetically programmed to never fall out.В The restoration surgeon will take micrografts (usually 1 вЂ" 3 hairs) from the donor area and place them in the area experiencing hair loss.В These micrografts are placed into tiny incisions in the scalp, a blood clot will then form and the healing process will begin.В As the hair takes root, it will begin to grow, most patients experience growth in 1 вЂ" 2 months.В Hair transplantation treatments can be more costly than other restoration procedures, but patients can experience lasting results.В Research each hair restoration method and find the one that best suits your particular needs.
