The main cause of baldness is hormonal disorders in the body. Other factors are lack of vitamins and minerals, metabolic disorders and stress. Heredity might be another possible reason.
Methods of baldness treatment
There are 4 main directions in the treatment of baldness:
- Conservative therapy. Doctors use masks, creams, shampoos, and lotions to stimulate hair growth. Local therapy is combined with diet and drug intake.
- Injection methods. A special cocktail is introduced under the skin that stimulates the growth of new hair and improves the condition of old ones.
- Plasmotherapy. The injection of activated platelets of one’s own blood stimulates the skin, improves blood circulation and metabolic processes. This slows down hair loss and is an incentive for new growth.
- Hair transplant. According to reviews, this is the most effective direction in the treatment of baldness. Hair is transplanted by three methods: strip (skin flap from the back of the head is transplanted to another part of the head), FUE (the most effective and progressive method that is least traumatic) and BHT (hair is transplanted from other parts of the body to the head).
Indications and Contraindications
Treatment is prescribed for local or diffuse forms of alopecia. In addition to therapy aimed at eliminating baldness, certain drugs prescribed to relieve the cause of alopecia: hormonal failure, secondary disease, stress, etc.
Conservative treatment and laser methods have virtually no contraindications. You may not fit for hair transplantation for the following reasons:
- insufficient number of hair follicles for transplantation;
- there is an active inflammatory process, neoplasms or a rash in the area of hair transplant or hair intake;
- severe concomitant pathology is present.
The process of Alopecia treatment
Treatment of alopecia begins with a visit to the trichologist. The specialist will assess the severity of the process and select the method that will be most effective in your situation.
With problems with hair and slight loss of it, a good effect is obtained by conservative therapy in combination with injection methods. In case of serious bald spots, transplantation is used. Distinguish the main stages of this procedure:
- Graft collection. With a strip method, hair is taken from a flap in the occipital or temporal region (significant scars may remain). The seamless method involves the collection of hair follicles without injury to the scalp.
- Sorting grafts and selecting the most viable. Each contains from 1 to 4 hair follicles.
- Directly transplantation. With the seamless method, up to 3000 grafts can be transplanted at a time.
Results
The result of successful treatment of alopecia is the cessation of loss, as well as the disappearance of the bald areas on the head.
