Surgical treatments for hair loss
Both men and women can suffer thinning of the hair and baldness. While surveys show that most men and nearly all women would be concerned by hair loss*, the numbers seeking treatment are surprisingly small. About 160,000** suffers seek surgical treatments each year.
That may seem a lot but 35 million men suffer male pattern baldness in the USA alone. Drug treatments have improved immensely over the past few years but even the best of these treatments (currently Propecia) produces no re-growth in 30% of cases and is unsuitable for women.
For those who cannot benefit from drug therapies or for hair loss as the result of burns or other injury a variety of surgical procedures are available. WhatClinic.com allows you to choose from all of these options at the best available prices.
Surgical advances
In the bad old days you might have had to settle for unnatural clumps of hair scattered around your scalp. Thankfully, surgeries have got a lot more sophisticated over the years and a number of effective complementary surgeries are available.
Grafts have moved away from moving large patches to techniques where between one and four hairs are moved at a time – This means direction and placement of hairs can be fine tuned and a far more natural result achieved. These new procedures can be combined with tissue expansion, where the scalp is stretched and areas of hair loss removed, to create the best possible look.
An exciting future
With baldness such a common problem it’s no wonder that a huge amount of research money is pouring into the field. Treatments available in the future will range from continued improvements in transplantation techniques to highly advanced stem cell technologies.
One of the first of the next generation of treatment should come on line by 2009. A UK firm has developed a system whereby hairs are harvested and then multiplied before being brought to the donor site, leading to a significant increase in the eventual hair coverage.
Act now
Many men, though unhappily, see baldness as an inevitable process. Age and hereditary factors seem to guarantee thinning and hair loss. This need no longer be the case, a combination of non-surgical and surgical treatments means baldness can be effectively combated.
