Hair loss is a serious issue amongst men and women alike. There have been various solutions for slowing the hair loss process, and remedying it altogether. Through a series of interventions which combine surgery and medication, modern hair loss solutions are getting a better reception than ever.

Back when hair replacement first became popular, the results of transplant techniques were often dubbed as looking fake. This was because the techniques used strips of hair follicles that when transplanted resembled the hair on a dolls head. Since then, more intricate procedures have allowed less intrusive and less noticeable surgery to take place that leaves a more natural result.

The treatment is known as Follicular Transfer. By transplanting only a few hairs at a time in a randomized fashion that reflects the pattern growth usually seen on the scalp, FT has become a popular option for those suffering from hair loss. Because the procedure is relatively un-intrusive, and can be performed in short sessions, it is also not as noticeable as other hair loss treatments.

The surgery is also combined with specific medication to help reduce the rate of hair loss, and to also encourage new hair growth. This is often not suitable for female hair loss patients as one of the medicines contains a hormone that will also promote the growth of facial hair, but there are still plenty of options available for female patients.

Hair loss in female patients is said to be as common as it is in men, although male pattern baldness gets much more coverage in medical circles. Hair loss can be caused by illness, genes and stress; emotionally as well as physically. Tension alopecia is a condition where balding patches are caused by physical stress on the hair. This can be through a hair pulling habit, or from having certain hair styles, such as dreadlocks for too long.

The stress on the scalp causes thinning, but if the problem is addressed promptly, it is possible to slow the process down dramatically, and even stop it altogether. Unfortunately, other causes of hair loss need more intense intervention that can only be performed with the help of an expert in the field. Depending on the extent of loss, a patient will be advised on the best course of action to take from a variety of solutions.

The choice broadly consists of cosmetic solutions which include concealing make-up, hair weaves, wigs and hair pieces; through to medical solutions of medication, surgery, or a combination of the two.

The beauty industry is big business, and cosmetic beauty enhancements are becoming ever more popular with everybody, not just celebrities. There is a general misconception that aesthetic enhancement is aimed predominantly at women, but improvements in hair replacement techniques have tipped the balance, and the beauty industry is now targeting a male audience more than ever before with a range of solutions for male pattern baldness.

Hair replacement treatments can use one or a combination of several different methods to tackle hair loss. Hair pieces, dyes, medicine and transplants are all ways that male pattern baldness can be tackled by hair replacement professionals.

Transplants use areas of donor hair, generally from the back of the head, which are moved in groups of around four follicles to the area where the hair needs thickening. To get the right effect, several procedures need to be performed, but the uptake is said to be good, achieving a full head of hair after only six months treatment.

Less dramatic cases of hair loss can be treated without the need for transplant surgery. There are a variety of medications available, which although are often used in conjunction with transplant techniques, are an effective means of treatment in their own right. The tablets help stabilise hormone levels and encourage hair growth. This is not usually an option for women who are suffering from hair loss as it causes an increase in facial hair growth as well as growth on the head.

Cosmetic solutions that include weaves, wigs and make up are also popular, especially when hair loss is either extreme or mild. Hair pieces are a preferred option for hair replacement when hair loss is entire. The wigs that are available today are made of human hair, and offer an incredibly realistic and washable solution for hair loss sufferers.

For hair loss that is less dramatic, weaves and make up can be the answer. Sprays can disguise a thinning crown easily, and it is less permanent and less costly than hair replacement through a transplant. Alternatively either natural or synthetic hair can be woven into existing hair. This is more costly than sprays, but the result is more natural and longer lasting.

These treatments are readily available, and the improvement in technique and success is making them cheap enough for the general public to afford; and in a world where women have ruled the cosmetic wave, it is time for men to seize the opportunity for cosmetic enhancement.

Follicular unit extraction also known as FUE is a fairly new procedure in hair transplant methods. Published after 7 years of research this new method has been developed so that the extraction of hair from the donor area can be achieved without a linear incision. This breakthrough was very similar to other minimal invasive surgeries such as operations on the stomach and intestine and has proven to increase recovery time from other techniques as well as minimising other risks involved with surgery.

So why choose FUE? Well after discussing with your surgeon whether or not this technique is suitable for you there are many advantages to choosing FUE. With moderate sized procedures it leaves hardly visible scars on the donor area once completely healed and during the post operative period there are hardly any restrictions placed on the patient. Patients rarely report pain after the operation either on the excision area, so all areas of the head can be cleaned as they need to be, so all wounds can be kept clean at all times. Also within one week after an FUE donation there will be a layer of hair the length of a beard that ensures the donor excisions are hardly visible on the scalp.

The FUE technique however is very specialist and is a hard task for physician and surgeons to perform. It takes a skilled professional to decide whether or not FUE will be successful on individuals as the treatment is not ideal for everyone. Overall though, patient’s reactions to follicular unit extraction have been positive and demand for this surgery has notably grown in recent years. However when deciding on which clinic to use for such treatment it is worth searching around and not being afraid to ask surgeons on how much experience they have with FUE, as done incorrectly or without experienced surgeons can result in it failing.

The best extractions occur when the entire follicle unit is removed intact including the bulb and the dermal papillae. The more of the unit that is kept intact the more chance the growth potential, if the outer root sheath is left untouched and some fat remains below the bulb, you can presume the unit was taken without damage. If some of the outer root is damaged, you can expect there to be an impact on the re-growth of the transplant. So in summary, for best results for this surgery the skill is in being able to remove suitable donor hair that will grow after it’s moved.

The reasons for hair loss are many; hormones, medication, genetics and illnesses. In a world where image is everything, losing hair can be a major blow to the confidence, but improved methods in hair transplant surgery are seeing the procedure become more popular. This article takes a look at some of the treatments available for hair loss.

One of the lesser known causes of hair loss is tension alopecia, a condition whereby the weight of hair can cause hair loss. This is particularly common in people who have had dreadlocks for many years. The weight of the dreads can cause tension on the scalp resulting in thinning on the crown, and ultimately the loss of hair completely.

Hair loss of this sort can be intercepted, and further loss prevented successfully by removal of the dreadlocks. By reducing the weight through cutting the hair, or shaving off the hair completely, hair loss is stabilized. Unfortunately, because dreadlocks are part of a cultural identity, many people suffering from tension alopecia are reluctant to intervene, and by the time the problem is addressed, damage to the growth of hair on the crown is often irreversible.

Hair transplants are one solution for thinning hair on the crown. Through a series of operations, follicles from a donor area are transplanted to the thinning area. Usually somewhere between 1 and 4 follicles are transplanted at a time; this allows for a more natural looking transplant compared to the procedures available when hair transplant surgery first became popular.

Old techniques used to use strips of donor area, but this produced a ‘dolls head’ effect, and the treatment was so obvious that the procedure was unpopular with patients. Transplants from donor areas are not restricted to use on the crown; advances in successful transplantation techniques have led to the method being used to treat other areas of the body.

It is now possible to create beards, moustaches, chest hair and even eye brows through hair transplantation. The only catch is that the new hair will grow the same as it did at the donor site. This means that rather than going to get your eyebrows plucked to keep them trim, you are likely to require the services of a hairdresser.

Experts in the field suggest getting a trim every six weeks or so to keep the look natural, and the general verdict is that an eye brow hair transplant is a much more natural effect that alternatives such as tattooing.

Hair loss affects so many people and people deal with it in different ways, some people are happy to consider surgery whilst others are not. This is all fine, as long as people are aware that there are options for people considering a hair transplant and those wanting to stick with hair replacement systems. Here we shall look at hair replacement systems specifically and what to look out for when considering this hair loss treatment.

Many people may find themselves in hair salons being offered hair replacement systems and may offer you many promises on both their products and services. Sadly though it would seem many people get fooled into this and by the time they realise they will not be getting the results they desired the damage has already been done. Large amounts of money have been spent and the result that they were promised has not been achieved. In order to avoid this trap you should first understand hoe hair replacement systems work and the unethical nature of hair salons when it comes to hair replacement.

The maintenance of hair replacement systems can be easily done at home, although there are many salons that offer their services. There really is no reason why this cannot be learnt by the individual, there are just precautions that need to be taken. This is far cheaper than what a salon can offer. When purchasing hair replacement systems you need to be aware that you need to purchase two so that when one is being cleaned you are able to wear the other.

Bonded hair pieces cannot stay on your scalp for any longer than six weeks, no matter how effective the adhesive claims to be eventually the piece will fall off. Also scalps need be very clean before new hair pieces are attached, unclean scalps will cause itchiness and discomfort.

Expect to have to spent money for the maintenance of your hair replacement system. The hair replacement system is not a solution to baldness, which will mean you will have to visit the salon every now and again.

Once you understand hair replacement systems, you can then choose the right salon that will support you instead of trying to make extra money. Some salons can really benefit those suffering from hair loss but others do not think with true concern for their clients. It is always recommended to visit a professional hair clinic to discuss any issues you may have with your hair replacement and to receive recommendations for salons in your area.
