Is Permanent Cure For Hair Restoration Possible?


Hair loss is common to both men and women as it does not pertain to men alone. Everybody is getting affected by this condition and they want to relieve themselves as they are much interested for their hair restoration. This condition normally affects everyone mentally and it may lead even to depression. Most of the men and women want to see them with thick hair in their head. Truly, many of us think that men alone are most affected by this hair loss but it is not true as women are also prone to hair loss. In reality, many of the women sufferers are not approaching the physician for the treatment and mainly all the hair treatments are focused at men only.

Is there any permanent solution for hair restoration? is the question before us. Yes, we have an answer. There are hundreds of hair restoration medications and procedures are available today. Hair restoration is achieved either by medications or surgery.

The modern treatment available varies to individuals based upon the underlying causes. Though there are many causes for hair loss, but the increase in the level of dihydrotestosterone (hereafter DHT) is the major cause for hair loss. DHT is said to surround (an androgenic hormone) the hair follicle. Hair restoration treatment is targeted by permanently blocking the formation of DHT found in the surroundings of the hair follicles. This could give a permanent way to hair restoration.

Propecia and Minoxidil are the very popular medications available now. Propecia is acting against the enzyme that converts the testosterone in to DHT. But this medication gives more effective results as long as it is used and generally not recommended for women for hair restoration. Propecia lose their effect when it is stopped. Minoxidil (otherwise Rogaine) is the cream that enhances and the actual mechanism of its action is not still known. It is said that it improves the blood and oxygen supply to hair follicles. The above said reason helps in the hair restoration which leads to healthy and thick hair. Unfortunately, this medication also has property as of Propecia in losing the effect when stopped. Hence, though these two medications are good in result, but they do not give any permanent solution for hair loss.

Hair transplantation is the technique in which the hair follicles are removed from where it is available in large quantity and transplanted in the scalp where it is available in small quantities. This procedure is adopted or advised only for few as hair restoration treatment.

Surgical operation is preferred in some people to give permanent solution to their hair loss and not all the sufferers are advised to undergo surgical treatment. Medical remedies for restoring your hair needs daily maintenance whereas surgical methods need occasional maintenance for every few years. However, as on date there is no permanent as for as the medical field is concerned. Though, the medical science has discovered most of the causes of hair loss, the permanent cure is yet to be found.
