Hair Loss Treatment Facts

Hairloss Treatment. Maybe you’ve thought about it but you’re not really sure what a hairloss treatment entails. And what are your hairloss treatment options? What hairloss treatments work and which ones don’t. Here’s a few hairloss treatment facts to help in your search for information.

1) Hairloss Treatment Fact #1 Baldness is a medical condition….not a disease.

There is no inherent side effect from baldness aside from hairloss. So if you are okay with having hairloss then there is no need for you to pursue a hairloss treatment.

But many people, male and female, feel that not only do people perceive them differently with their hairloss, studies show that people with hairloss make less than those who don’t, but that they perceive themselves differently as well. It’s not vain to want to have hair, and if you feel like the only thing stopping you from accomplishing some things in your life is a full head of hair than a hairloss treatment might just work for you.

2) Hairless Treatment Fact #2: Medications work…but only so long as you take them.

Rogaine and Propecia both revolutionized the hairloss treatment industry when they came out. They both do different things. Rogaine is a topical solution that can stem existing hairloss and also encourage regrowth among damaged follicles, while Propecia is a prescription pill that attacks the cause of hairloss, the conversion of testosterone into DHT.

But these medications do not work for everyone. Rogaine works for about 50-60% of patients and both medications require them to be taken for about 4 months to see results. As well the effect of the medications stop the moment the patient stops taking them.

3) Hairloss Treatment Fact #3: Hair Transplants are the only permanent hairloss solution.

Until we find a baldness cure, and there are plenty of plenty of people working on it, the most reliable and permanent solution is hair transplantation. Though more expensive than medications like Rogaine and Propecia, a hair transplant has a very high patient satisfaction rate and after a series of procedures is virtually permanent requiring no further action. And hair transplants have improved greatly since the 70’s when they looked like shag carpeting. Today with procedures like Follicular Micro Grafting, your hair restoration surgeon can create a natural and healthy looking head of hair.
