How to deal with hair loss problem?

Baldness, whether permanent or temporary, can't be cured. But hair loss treatments are available to help promote hair growth or hide hair loss. For some types of alopecia, hair may resume growth without any treatment. The type of treatments includes medication, surgery, photo-biostimulation therapy, and hair pieces.

The effectiveness of medications used to treat alopecia depends on the cause of hair loss, extent of the loss and individual response.

Surgery implies an efficiently use of your existing hair to "cover lost ground." Common surgery techniques include hair transplant and scalp reduction, they are expensive and can be painful. Possible side effects include infection and scarring. It will take six to eight months before the quality of the new hair can be properly evaluated.

Photo-biostimulation therapy implies the use of low level laser therapy devices. These kind of devices are useful for people with mild to moderate Androgenic or Androgenetic Alopecia (Male or Female pattern baldness). However, they are not suitable for severe Androgenic or Androgenetic Alopecia or other forms of hair loss such as Alopecia Areata, Telogen Effluvium and Cicatricial Alopecia. The earlier you start looking after your hair and scalp, the greater chance you have of keeping your hair shinier, healthier and longer. These devices are available for personal home use or for professional use.

Hair pieces are commonly defined as "Any external hair-bearing device added to existing hair or scalp to give the appearance of a fuller head of hair". In this category are hair weaves, hair extensions, hairpieces, toupees, non-surgical hair replacements and partial hair prostheses. Devices may consist of human hair, synthetic fiber or a combination of both. The way these hair pieces are attached to existing hair or scalp includes weaving, fusion, bonding, cabling and bonding. Your hair replacement specialist will find the solution that best work for your stage of baldness.

Hair loss is a sensitive issue and is a problem that is difficult to cope with, causing emotional distress and sometimes depression. Studies show that hair loss provoke feelings of vulnerability, loss of self-esteem and embarrassment of self-image. Single men and women who had begun losing hair in their early twenties are more likely to suffer from an extremely low self-esteem. They feel less attractive than others by looking older than their actual age.
