Hair Follicle Replacement – The Best Techniques For Men And Women

Hair loss is common enough for a lot of Americans to be worried about its incidence and ways by which they can cure it. It is even more real because the condition is known to have a lot of ties with your hormones and genetic inheritance, and with people not being certain if they have the hair loss trait in their family lines, people are scrambling for hair replacement even before they have started to lose hairs.

This is not so bad really, since prevention is better than cure. However, since men and women may not necessarily have the same anatomical make up, hair replacement treatments for both sexes may differ just a bit.

For example, both male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness are inherited conditions almost directly from your patients. For men, if you will take substitutes of the drug finasteride, you can actually stop your hair loss from setting off in the first place. Even if you have started to lose hairs already, finasteride has healing properties that can stop further hair loss and start up the regeneration process that will grow your hair back.

Unfortunately for women, finasteride has no known helpful effects in women. Quite the opposite, finasteride has been known to cause birth defects in babies who are born to women who took it while they were pregnant. As a consequence, the FDA-Food and Drug Administration strongly recommends that women within childbearing age should not even attempt this hair replacement technique.

Fortunately for women, female pattern baldness occurs mostly in postmenopausal women – women who are in their late forties and their fifties. There is a notable spike in the testosterone levels in the endocrine systems of such women, which will account for why they are losing hairs. There are several medicines that can be obtained from a pharmacist through prescriptions from a physician that can block the transformation of testosterone in such women. Such medication can help them to stop the advance of their hair loss, and in some cases help their hairs to grow back.

The best hair replacement technique for either men or women is hair replacement surgery. It is a lengthy and conscientious process that can help you grow hairs back in the patches where you have lost them. Unless you have suffered alopecia universalis, your hair should be able to grow back nicely once the procedure is done. Laser restoration works also for both sexes. All it takes is a strong beam of light used to stimulate, or ‘caress’, the cells in your scalp; it helps also to place tiny hairs in indentations in your scalp so that they may begin to grow hairs again.

But when all else fails, you thankfully still have your toupees or hair extension to fall back on. Some wig makers are so good that you’ll never be able to tell that what you have on your head is prosthetic hairs put together to help replace the hairs that you can actually lost to disease or infection. For men and women with hair loss, call it the last line of defense when no other hair replacement technique will work well enough.
