If you suffer from hair loss, you may not have to suffer for much longer. Modern hair loss treatment and hair loss medication have both improved significantly in the last few years †to the point where sufferers from many forms and types of hair loss have a very good chance of halting, covering or even reversing the process that is causing them so much distress. Where hair loss is able to be treated by medication (this would normally be at the onset of pattern baldness, for example) a patient has a good chance of successful intervention. Modern hair loss preparations are based on scientific fact rather than hope (as was the case 50 years ago). Modern hair loss medication works by preventing the naturally present testosterone in the scalp (it is there in both male and female patients) from turning into DHT, or dihydrotestosterone, a male antigen (again it can be present in women’s scalps) that curtails the life cycle of the hair follicle. By specifically preventing the production of DHT, modern hair loss medicine stops the thing that causes the hair loss †and so no more lost hair. If hair loss is caught early enough using this method (and provided of course that the hair loss in question is in fact caused by the over production of DHT) then there is an excellent chance that the process may be stopped. In some cases, it can even show signs of reversing. Modern hair loss treatment can also take a surgical turn. Hair loss can be treated by removing individual donor follicles from likely donor sites (the site is chosen because the hair there grows very similarly to the hair that was lost). An individual follicle is removed from the donor site and transplanted into the area where hair has been lost. The process is repeated until the area has been covered. Often, the hair falls out after this type of treatment †but the transplanted roots remain, and grow back out as normal, correctly directional hair. Modern hair loss treatment of the surgical kind is far less painful and intrusive than it used to be. Old hair loss surgery involved taking off whole strips of skin, with hair still in it, and surgically grafting them onto the balding area. This carried risks of infection, looked unnatural and could be very painful. The modern surgical treatment for hair loss is far less severe and also has a much higher chance of success. Whether you are recommended surgery of some kind, or hair loss medication, your chances of having a successful therapy are much greater now than they ever were. In some cases, even scar tissue can be covered with transplanted hair †and, as noted, hair loss medicine has delivered cases where the lost hair actually starts to grow back. This is a bright new day for all sufferers of hair loss, male or female. With modern hair loss treatment techniques, you are as likely as not to find the perfect solution.
