Allinanchor Hair Loss Treatment

More than half of men are affected by male pattern baldness/hair loss by age 50, and baldness/hair loss treatments are estimated to be a US $1 billion per year industry. Since the 1980s, drug therapy has increasingly become a realistic management option for baldness/hair loss for men and women. Increased understanding of the role of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in male and female pattern baldness/hair loss has led to targeted intervention to prevent this hormone from acting on receptors in the scalp. Coupled with chance discoveries and the ever-present lure of a breakthrough involving stem cells and hair multiplication, scientifically proven baldness/hair loss treatments continue to be an area of research that receives a large amount of funding.


Hair Loss - What You Should Know

Although hair loss is a condition mostly associated with older males, it can affect any person, regardless of sex or age. Losing hair is considered to be an extremely stressful experience and going bald is often life changing, especially for those who have previously placed much importance on their appearance.

Hair loss can strike for a number of reasons including genetics, hormones, illness, pregnancy and malnutrition. Mature aged men and women often develop bald patches on their heads for hereditary reasons and women commonly experience serious thinning of their hair after giving birth or after menopause.

Many people will see the first signs of baldness and resort to immediately shaving their hair off completely. This is a drastic measure considering there are many treatment options available today for hair loss.

Over the counter products can be purchased either at the supermarket or drug store. Many brand name products have been verified to improve circulation to the scalp and break down hormones that result in the hair follicle dying. The harsh chemicals in these products can cause problems when they are used long-term, so they are best seen as a short-term solution.

For more serious hair loss, there are hair re-growth treatments available from specialized clinics and salons. Laser therapy and treatments such as scalp scrubs and lotions can eventually return hair to the condition it was in up to eight years ago. While this form of specialist treatment is often very successful, it is very expensive: A visit to the hair re-growth salon can cost anywhere between one and five thousand dollars, depending on what treatment is done and several sessions are always required.

Another way a medical hair re-growth specialist can help people with severe hair loss is through a hair transplant. This is a procedure where healthy hair follicles and hairs are taken from the back of the head and transplanted in the areas where the hair has ceased to grow. The dead hair follicles are removed and replaced with healthy ones, where they take root and begin to grow new hair. It takes at least three months for the new hair to grow in the transplanted position. Hair transplants look very natural to the point that a hairdresser wouldn’t be able to notice it had been done and the results are permanent.

Many advances have been made in the area of hair loss over the past ten years and this includes major improvements to the old fashioned solution known as a hair piece. Modern day hair pieces can be made with human hair that has been computer matched to a sample of the original hair and then woven to the same shape as the original hair line. Many people opt for a hair piece because it’s non invasive and less expensive and with modern technologies, activities such as swimming and styling the hair can be carried out as normal.

Hair loss is traumatic for any person, but in today’s modern and scientifically advanced world, there really is no reason to suffer from it any longer. The sooner action is taken to reverse the condition, the better the outcome will be, so the best advice for anyone losing hair is to start the preferred treatment as soon as possible. This will increase the chances of the hair returning to its original and best condition.
