The human race has been trying to put a stop to the balding process and grow back loose hair by using hair loss treatment products for decades. People have been rubbing the juices of fruits, herbs and vegetables on their heads to no avail. It is true that new herbal and natural alternatives for hair growth have appeared in the market, but a lot of these products are missing the systematic studies needed.
If people want to grow hair in a conventional manner, they have to do comprehensive research on natural remedies. Even if they do their homework on this, they have to be patient when testing these methods to make sure that they are 100% effective. They have to consider that their results will vary because each person’s hair and skin is unique.
Thanks to innovations in medical technology, we at least have the following options available for taking care of thinning hair:
Laser Therapy
This form of treatment for hair loss makes use of a low-level laser as a scalpel. Because it is showing positive results so far, it is recognized as a convenient option which produces the least amount of side effects. Its only drawback is that it is not 100% effective since it has not shown any significant improvement in the density of hair.
Surgical Hair Growth Treatment (also known as the Hair Transplant)
The traditional hair transplant is still considered the most efficient form of hair loss treatment. It can bring back the fading hair strands in a predictable and efficient manner by extracting the healthy follicles from one segment to the scalp and manually inserting them on the bald patch. Most of the time, the crown and front of the scalp are susceptible to hair loss. The surgeon will get some hair patches from the back of the head and place them up front. The most common side effect is a head that will be swollen for a few days.
If you do not wish to go under the knife or laser beam, there are still those natural alternatives like hair spray treatments available. Please see your doctor before trying any of these methods.
