For people who suffer from hair
loss, surgery and transplant is a priority. The market has planet of clinics
and treatment that it can offer. But one can be confused as to choose what and
if they need to wait for longer for any new methods to come up! Hair restoration therapy has evolved in
a big way over the last few years. Plenty of techniques have been developing
over the years .Lets read below in detail of its development.

Types of hair loss
Androgenetic alopecia
This is a common form of hair
loss in men and women and it occurs with age. Medication for this includes finasteride and minoxidil. Daily dosage of
these medicines will help in growth of hair follicles. The results cosmetically of surgical treatment for androgenetic alopecia
are usually satisfactory.
Follicular unit transplant
Follicular unit transplantation lets the surgeon to transplant the
maximum number of hair with least non hair bearing scalp. With various sessions
number of grafts can be moved safely and the transplant can appear natural.
Follicular unit extraction
This is hair transplantation
where there are no permanent scars, heals easily in a short time. FUE is
helpful for those with a very tight scalp and who have healed poorly with a
traditional strip harvesting before.
Robotic hair restoration
This is a technique where cameras are used and robotic arms
assist the surgeon for hair restoration. This method harvests follicular units
in both men and women. The disadvantage of this method is the punches made are
very large and in comparison with FUE, FUE method fares better.
Strip method
The ones who suffer from male pattern baldness, female pattern baldness and who wish to correct any prior hair
transplants can opt for strip method. Strip method is a less expensive way of
treating baldness. This is a method of getting
follicular units from a donor strip which is taken from a non balding side of
the head. The grafts are removed with the help of microscopes and then
transplanted on the bald and thinning areas of the head and is performed under
local anesthesia.
Future of hair transplant
Research in hair transplant says that stem cell therapy and Prostaglandin therapy will mark as the future
of in treating hair transplant.
Stem cell therapy
Stem cell therapy helps those who have no hopes for new hair growth.
In this method the follicles will be re activated to retain stem cells within
the bulge areas. Gene therapy can help in re activating follicles easily.
Prostaglandin therapy
Latest discovery says that prostaglandin helps
in hair growth; it could also increase eyelash growth. Since research is
happening currently on this topic there is very little data about prostaglandin
therapy.
With time science will improve and there will be many methods that will
help in hair restoration. Doctors and researchers are on a constant run and
working like a machine to figure out newer and faster techniques.
