Solving the Hair Loss Problem

Hair loss solutions vary from temporary to permanent, from expensive to inexpensive, and from over the counter to requiring a prescription. 

The most natural looking, effective, and permanent hair loss solution is stereoscopic follicular unit hair transplantation.  This procedure transfers hair from the parts of the scalp with healthy hair follicles to grow hair where it has been lost.  The follicles are transplanted one follicular unit at a time to achieve the same hair growth pattern of healthy hair.

Other hair loss solutions include medications, both topical and oral.  The most common topical medication is available over the counter, without a prescription.  It is called Rogaine, or Minoxidil.  This solution is not a permanent one and will stop working if the patient discontinues its use.  Propecia, or Finasteride, is another medication that works to solve hair loss problems.  This medication is taken orally and helps to decrease levels of DHT, which is the hormone that causes hair loss.  This medication requires a prescription and is only prescribed to men. 

There are many other hair loss solutions on the market today.  Be cautious when looking into quick and easy hair loss solutions.  Often they are scams that are taking advantage of people experiencing hair loss.  For the best advice for your particular situation and to learn more about your options, contact Pistone Hair Restoration.
