After attaining adulthood, the term hair loss doesn’t need an introduction. In fact, few studies have assessed that by the age of 50, 75% of men start experiencing baldness. Well, that is definitely an alarming figure. As you do not age as long as your heart is young, so why your hair is communicating your age? The world of science has evolved deep enough to provide solutions to the problems of hair loss. This read will help you understand why hair restoration surgery is the best solution for hair loss.
Yes, your social media, your television, your newspaper, etc. must be overloaded with countless advertisements for hair care products. But, these kinds of stuff are not only giving false hopes and affecting your pocket but also damaging your hair more than before. After all, they all contain harmful chemicals. Hair restoration on the other hand is a very natural process of restoring your hair.
However, we are also not recommending you to straight away jump into hair restoration surgery. Medication can also help you to deal with your hair loss if you are taking the same at the initial stage of baldness. The following are two medications available for baldness:
Minoxidil: Minoxidil works by widening the body’s tiny blood arteries. While the exact mechanism behind why this promotes hair growth is unknown, it has been demonstrated to enhance hair development while the medicine is being taken in about 40% of males who experienced hair regrowth after three months.
Finasteride: Finasteride prevents the scalp from converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, a hormone thought to be a factor in male pattern baldness. Androgen-dependent medication often promotes hair growth after around three months of therapy in cases of early hair loss.
Hair Restoration Surgery
The only method that has been scientifically proven to actually restore natural hair growth to areas that have lost hair, in those with substantial hair loss is surgical hair transplantation. It is to be considered that new developments have made hair transplant surgery considerably easier for patients by minimizing pain and recovery time.If you’ve been hesitant to consider a surgical option then you must know that it is no longer a surgery, it is a mere cosmetic restoration of your hair.
