With the advancement of medicine and identification of
the real cause
of hair loss, effective hair loss products and remedies
have been developed to treat male and female hair loss.
Currently available hairloss treatments can be divided
into Growth Stimulants and DHT
Blockers / Inhibitors
Baldness and Its Treatment:
If male
hair loss is not prevented or treated overtime the
miniaturized hair follicles atrophy and die causing permanent
baldness. In the balding areas there is no peach fuzz
hair and the scalp looks tight and shiny. Baldness is
an irreversible condition. Once the hair follicle has
atrophied it is gone forever. This would be similar to
loosing any other body part and since we are not able
to reproduce our body parts there is no hair
loss treatment or hairloss remedy that can force the
body to produce a new hair follicle. The only successful
baldness treatment or hair loss remedy available today
is hair transplantation. In hair transplantation the living,
DHT resistant hair follicles are extracted from the back
of the scalp or the donor area and transplanted in the
balding areas. This is a permanent baldness treatment
and except in rare occasions the transplanted hair follicles
grow normal, thick, and healthy hairs giving the appearance
of hair growth and a thicker scalp.
Depending on the degree of baldness and availability of the hair follicles in the donor area one may need multiple transplant sessions to obtain satisfactory results. The skill and technique of the surgeon is also crucial in the outcome of procedure. A bad hair transplant can look worse than being bald in the first place.
Although the transplanted hairs are resistant to DHT it
may still be necessary to use an anti-DHT solution to
prevent further regression of DHT prone hair follicles.
Hair Cloning; Future Baldness
Treatment:
In cases were baldness is severe the donor area may be not contain enough hair follicles to produce a cosmetically acceptable transplantation. For this reason a new technique called hair cloning is being developed to produce hair follicles for transplantation. In this technique one or multiple hair follicles are removed from the scalp and duplicated multiple times in the laboratory to produce the desired number of hair follicles for transplantation into the balding areas of the scalp. Once developed, this cloning technique can have far more reaching benefits including cloning other organs for self organ transplantation.
