Techniques Of Hair Replacement Beverly Hills

By Kathleen Martin


Most hair loss is because of genetics, both in men and women. Heredity accounts for some 95 percent of baldness cases. Other causes include diet, stress and use of medications. In the case of women, childbirth can also lead to loss of hairs. That is however temporary because of changes taking place in their bodies. In regards to hair replacement Beverly Hills residents need to know the different techniques.

There are various procedures which are used for hair replacement. When it comes to medications, the only drugs which are approved by the FDA are Rogaine and Propecia. There are various other medications but without FDA approval. Rogaine is supposed to be applied on the scalp through direct rubbing on the affected areas. With this medication, only a small percentage of people will expect positive results. Rogaine can be used in slowing the loss of hairs.

Propecia is a pill which is used by males for treating baldness. It needs to only be used under instruction from a doctor. It is an option which is effective but one is not expected to discontinue the use because that will lead to negative outcomes. When you are treating permanent loss hairs, procedures to be used include punch grafting, micro grafting and slit grafting. Another procedure that is used is known as scalp reduction. The situation of a person determines what method is to be used.

Not all people are ideal candidates for this procedure. For example, those with adverse loss of hairs will not be ideal for the treatment. The same applies to people who do not have enough donor sites. Donor sites are the areas which produce hairs. The other category of people who might not get the required results are those who form keloid scars. The scars are as a result of trauma or surgery.

One of the methods used to rectify permanent loss of hairs is grafting. The procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure and is done at the office of the dermatology surgeon. With micro grafts, there are 1 or 2 hairs for every graft, whereas slit grafts do have four to ten. There are a number of other options which will depend on situation of the individual.

There is scalp reduction which is the removal of skin sections that do not bear hairs. That will be done so that sections which are remaining and which bear hairs get stretched to fill areas which are bald. With this procedure, it is possible to reduce half of areas which are bald. It is a method which is used to cover areas at the top and back of the head. It is never used for frontal hairs.

When it comes to scalp reduction, there will first be injection into the scalp of local anesthetic. That is followed by removing of all bald segments. After that is accomplished, there will be loosening of all surrounding skin, which is then stretched gently. Having the skin stretched ensures scalp sections that bear hairs are brought together.

There are a number of techniques used to replace hairs. You need to ensure you are assessed in order to know the best procedure to use. Different methods are prescribed for different people depending on their condition.
