Methods Of Hair Replacement Beverly Hills

By Kathleen Martin


The commonest cause of baldness in both women and men is genetics. As a matter of fact, heredity is what accounts for 95 percent of all cases of hair loss. There are various other causes such as diet, stress, medications and illnesses. In the case of women, childbirth can cause temporary loss of hairs. The loss is as a result of the changes which take place in their bodies. In considering hair replacement Beverly Hills residents need to be conversant with the procedures.

There are different procedures used to replace hairs. As regards medications, there are two FDA approved drugs which are known to be effective. The drugs are Propecia and Rogaine. The latter is a topical solution that should be applied to the scalp directly. It gets rubbed on sections where growth of hairs is desired. With this method, only some small number of people will experience hair growth. When the lotion is applied on the scalp, it helps to slow down loss.

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.

There are some people who are not well suited for the treatments. For example, it will not be suitable for women with massive loss of hairs because the results will not be that good. Also, people without enough donor sites are not suitable candidates and should consider other options. It is the donor sites which bear hairs. The other category of people that should not go for hair replacement are those who form keloid scars as a result of trauma or surgery.

Grafting is also referred to as hair transplant and is among the methods used for removing hairs permanently. The procedure is an outpatient one and is done from the office of a surgeon. There are micro grafts which have just one or two hairs, slit grafts have between four and ten hairs while punch grafts have between 10 to 15.

Scalp reduction is removal of skin sections that do not bear hairs. The removal is done to ensure that remaining areas which produce hairs get stretched so as to fill the bald sections. With this treatment, it will be possible to reduce half or more of the bald sections. It is an ideal option for covering the bald areas either at the top or back of the head. It is not suitable for front hairs.

For the scalp reduction procedure, there will first be injection of local anesthetic into your scalp. After that, bald segments are removed. After that is accomplished, there is loosening of surrounding skin, which is then stretched gently. The stretching is done to bring hair-bearing sections together.

There are several methods that are used to replace hairs. It is important to first get to know the most ideal for you. That is important because depending on the type of hair loss, people have different methods recommended for them.
