Baldness is a Pattern hair loss.I'm going bald.I'm not cool about it
I know that there are treatments for hair loss such as minoxidil, finasteride, or hair transplant surgeries.
Do you mean I can still regain back my lost hair? That's quite reassuring
I'm not sure if you are male or female, but females don't react well to finasteride and it may result in birth defects if taken during pregnancy.
OK,that's simply interesting! So how is the surgical aspect of regaining bald hair done?
Hair transplantation
Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that removes hair follicles from one part of the body, called the 'donor site', to a bald or balding part of the body known as the 'recipient site'. The technique is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness. In this minimally invasive procedure, grafts containing hair follicles that are genetically resistant to balding (like the back of the head) are transplanted to the bald scalp. Hair transplantation can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair
.
Treatments for the various forms of hair loss have limited success. Three medications have evidence to support their use in male pattern hair loss: minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride. They typically work better to prevent further hair loss, than to regrow lost hair.
- Minoxidil (Rogaine) is a nonprescription medication approved for male pattern baldness and alopecia areata. In a liquid or foam, it is rubbed into the scalp twice a day. Some people have an allergic reaction to the propylene glycol in the minoxidil solution
