Before Choosing Transplant Surgery To Deal With Hair Loss, There Are Alternate Treatments    

Among Them Are Prescription Drugs, Laser Combs An Even Changing Shampoos And Styling Products    

Hair transplants are the ultimate alternative to hair loss is every other treatment failed, or if there is significant hair loss. Let’s review the alternatives before choosing to do a transplant. Among them are prescription medications, such as Minoxidil and Finasteride, which work by blocking the hormone dihydrotestosterone, also known as DHT, which is responsible for the atrophy of hair follicles. However, hair located on the back and the sides of the head are resistant to DHT, which is why these hairs are used for transplants, and that hair loss is usually limited to the crown and the front of the head. Laser combs are also an alternative, which can increase hair density. Even though there is not a clear explanation of how they work, the low-powered lasers might have an antioxidant effect on hair. Gels and styling products can also leave residues which stay on the scalp, blocking the hair follicles. Check all the alternatives before having a transplant. More details click here.
