These are the causes of hair loss.
Treatements
- Rogaine (minoxidil):
This is a very popular hair treatment to stop hairfall. This is a FDA approved medication which can be attained even without a prescription. This is a renowned drug and comes in liquid form as well as foam form. The topical solution must be rubbed onto the scalp twice daily. This has been found to be the most effective way to treat androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. This stops hair from falling and promotes hair growth.
- Surgical Options to Treat Alopecia:
- Hair Transplant:
This is a surgical process that makes the scalp look fuller. In this process, a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon takes tiny plugs of skin containing hair, usually from the back or side of the scalp and implants into the hairless sections. The extent of baldness will decide how many sittings are necessary.
- Scalp Reduction:
This is a process where the area of the bald skin is decreased on the head. With time the skin on the head becomes stretchable and flexible enough so that small sections of this skin can be removed surgically. After the hairless portion of scalp is removed the space is closed with hair. This procedure takes time to show results. Scalp reduction method is usually used in combination with hair transplantation.
