Hair Loss Treatments

Are there treatments for your hair loss?  Of course.  Depending upon your type of hair loss, you probably have more options available now than ever before, including:

• Follicular Unit Transplantation Surgery:  In the past 15 years, hair transplant surgery has become a highly sophisticated cosmetic concentration. With advances in technology, hair-grafting techniques and the availability of new medical treatments, many prospective patients are considering hair transplantation as viable solution to hair loss.  With hair-restoration surgery, a cosmetic surgeon transplants your own hair  from a donor section to the hair loss area.  Transplanted hair is placed at specific angles, depths, directions and widths, allowing the restoration of your original hair pattern, resulting in a natural and permanent solution to your hair loss. 

• Medications may offer a non-surgical option to slow or prevent further hair loss.  For example, Minoxidil spray (commonly known as Rogaine) can be applied directly to the scalp and is available without a prescription.  Minoxidil/Rogaine can be used by both men and women.  Another medicine, Finasteride (commonly known as Propecia) is available in a presciption pill; however, it is used only for men.  Often, Propecia is used in conjunction with and as a complement to surgical hair restoration.

• Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT):  Using an FDA approved laser light on the scalp and hair follicles provides a high level of light, which is used by hair and scalp cells to assist in the normal chemical processes performed by those cells.  Laser light improves hair quality, strength and thickness without surgery and is used by itself or in conjunction with other treatments.
