Top 5 Ways To Treat Hair Loss

New research indicates that like many other medical problems, hair loss is best treated before it becomes a serious problem.
For example, doctors in Asia believe that dandruff and other
scalp conditions that cut off the blood supply to hair root can
lead to hair loss. They argue that because it cannot breathe or
receive nourishment, the root of the hair dies and falls out.

So, the earliest form of treatment for hair loss should be
scalp massage to stimulate the blood vessels of the scalp and
help keep the hair follicles healthy enough to grow. Along with
this treatment, doctors recommend seeking out hair care products
that lead to a healthy scalp. Conditions such as eczema or
seborrhea should be treated quickly and treatment continued to
maintain a healthy scalp. A healthy scalp is less likely to
experience hair loss.

Those same doctors say that poor nutrition can be a
contributing factor to hair loss. People need to maintain a
health diet in an effort to promote healthy hair growth.
Doctors say diets should be rich in vitamins and iron to
promote healthy blood flow to the scalp. Complete body health
also contributes to maintaining healthy hair.

There are also treatments designed to prevent hair loss and
help grow hair. Herbal topical treatments to regrow hair are
usually based on theories similar to the Asian doctors. The
topical treatments for hair loss typically include herbs to
stimulate the blood vessels of the scalp and to clean it. These
products often act on the concept that clogged hair follicles
cause hair loss. They treat various scalp conditions and
include herbs that help hair grow.

A more recent development in the treatment of hair loss are
oral medications that are thought to combat the hormonal
imbalance that leads to pattern baldness. These medications are
only available through medical professionals.

And finally, there are surgical treatments designed to
transplant hair follicles to the scalp and grow new hair where
the old hair had died. These treatments usually involve
removing hair follicles from another part of the body and
transplanting them to the scalp.

A very thin incision in the scalp is made and pulled back to
create a new home for the transplanted hair. Then, the hair is
allowed to grow naturally in the new location.

These procedures are often done gradually and in the office to
minimize the cost of the procedure. It is also done in stages
to avoid looking like a hair piece or like obvious cosmetic
surgery.

Certain medications and stress can also contribute to hair
loss, so doctors recommend minimizing stress levels to prevent
hair loss. However, once a person is suffering from hair loss,
there are additional treatments available. There are hair
pieces and hair “thickening” products designed to make the hair
loss less apparent. These products do not treat the hair loss,
but minimize the social effects of it by hiding the bald spots.
