Hair Loss Treatment Options.

By Todd Mumford: November 29, 2007.

Although a certain amount of hair loss is normal and usually nothing to worry about, if it is getting to a point where it is definitely noticeable or where it is causing you problems, then it is something you are going to want to have taken care of. If you are one of the many hair loss sufferers out there, you can at least rest assured knowing that there are lots of different hair loss treatment options out there to help you.

One of the most popular treatments for hair loss is the hair transplant. Today a skilled and properly applied hair transplant doctor is able to provide you with extremely natural looking results. You just need to make sure that you take the time to find an experienced and respected surgeon, and to do this there are several steps you are going to want to take.

First you want to make sure that you get all of your questions answered confidently, that you understand the limitations of the procedure, make sure to check out the before and after hair loss treatment photos, and you can even ask for previous patients whom you can call and discuss the procedure with, particularly getting information on the surgeon and whether they would recommend them.

What women can do to stop hair loss.

Dr. Reichman discusses why it happens and suggests possible remedies.

 Dr Judith Reichman: TODAY contributor.

Question: I’m in my early 40s and I’ve noticed sudden hair loss. I’m devastated. Why is this happening and what can I do?

Answer: Women don’t expect to lose their hair (unlike men), so when it happens it’s extraordinarily traumatic.

We normally have, on average, 100,000 hairs on our scalp. And as evinced by our changing hair lengths, roots and visits to our hairdressers, those hairs grow; in fact, 90 percent of our hair is actively growing at any given time. Hair is the second fastest growing tissue in our body after (I’d love for you to guess) … bone marrow. To keep its place on your head, your hair needs the right conditions. (Note I didn’t say conditioner.) You may find that you’re unexpectedly losing hair if you impose restrictions on hair growth or if your genes are such that continued hair growth is not in your destiny.

Can Hair Loss Occur in teenagers?

Answer: Male-pattern hair loss can occur as early as 15, although it typically begins anywhere from the 20s and early 30s. Family history may help determine if this is going to occur, as parents with a history of early-onset male-pattern hair loss may increase the risk for this to occur in descendants.

Alopecia areata and telogen effluvium, two other forms of temporary hair loss, can occur in children as young as one year of age. Other precipitating factors may also be involved.

We recommend the use of Vitastim and if necessary Biostim as well, in all cases for best results.

What Is DHT and How does It cause Hair Loss?

Answer: DHT stands for dihydrotestosterone. This is the active form of the male hormone testosterone. It has been suggested that high DHT levels in genetically predisposed hair follicles initiate baldness. It is this chemical conversion from testosterone to dihydrotestosterone that is blocked by saw palmetto, which is the active ingredient in Biostim. Biostim blocks the formation of active testosterone and allows those hairs predisposed to inactivity to become active again and make new hairs.

We recommend the use of Biostim, in all cases for best results.
