HAIR TREATMENT FOR MEN

There is no specific cause of hair loss in men that is why no treatment will bring about the desired outcome without the authentication of underlying factor. So there are different solutions available for men according to their different problems.  Identification of a patient’s problem can be made through medical history, close microscopic observation of the scalp for example scalp biopsy, pull test, light microscopy or through a blood test if needed. After the identification of a patient’s problem, a dermatologist may recommend one of the following treatments regarding hair treatment for men.

How to stop hair fall and regrow ?

Minoxidil: it is a FDA approved drug for the stimulation of hair growth but its function is still unknown. The general speculation about its function involves its ability to dilate blood vessels in the scalp which may improve hair follicle function. This drug is injected directly onto the patient’s scalp. At our hair transplant clinic in Lahore ,we may combine minoxidil with another treatment. Like many other drugs, the consequences may prove severe if the warnings are taken for granted.

Laser devices: brush, combs and other hand held devices that emit laser light might stimulate hair growth. Because FDA classifies these products as medical devices, the products do not undergo the strict testing procedure applied to drugs, that is why their efficacy is not confirmed.

Finasteride: is FDA approved medicine to treat only male pattern baldness. Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme alpha reductase as a result DHT formation is decreased. Other parts of the body are not affected by finasteride, but the drug is not approved for prostate cancer, so there exists a risk of developing a very serious form of prostate cancer. Its use my prove hazard without doctor’s prescription. About 88% men are satisfied from the pill.

Corticosteroid:  this drug is injected onto the scalp to cease inflammation which happens when a man undergoes Alopecia Areata and scarring alopecia

Hair Transplant: in the most common type of hair loss treatment which is associated with men, only the top of the head is affected. Hair restoration surgery helps the restoration of hair on the bald area. It can also restore hair growth on the area which is affected by some sort of injury. But the procedure could not work on total bald head. In this process, tiny grafts of skin, each containing few hairs, are removed and transplanted to the area of the scalp that needs hair. But the surgical procedures to treat baldness are expensive and painful, and there is a possibility of many risks such as infection and scarring. If you are advised for surgical treatment then you should always see before and after results, video testimonials, reviews and find best hair Transplant in Pakistan.

There are many other surgical options such as scalp reduction, scalp expansion and scalp flaps. Scalp reduction is also known as alopecia reduction (AR), galeoplasty (GP), or male pattern reduction (MPR). In this procedure, bald scalp is surgically removed and hair bearing scalp is brought closer together to reduce balding. In scalp expansion, devices are inserted into the skin for about 3 to 4 weeks to stretch the skin. This procedure may be performed before scalp reduction to make the scalp more lax, or can also be performed solely to stretch hair bearing areas which reduces balding. In Scalp flaps, a hair bearing segment of scalp is surgically moved and placed where the hair is needed. But these procedures can give birth to many problems such as accelerated hair loss, hemorrhage and hematoma (blood pooling), stretch back and unnatural appearance. Such kind of procedures rarely performed now a days. The most commonly performed procedure is Fue hair transplant in Pakistan (http://www.uchlhr.com) as well as strip procedure.
