Answers to Common Hair Loss Questions

Both Men and Women can experience hair loss in their lifetime. It's very common and it's normal to have questions and wish you could improve your hair loss situation.  Below are some of the most frequently asked questions on the minds of hair loss sufferers, with answers from International Hair Restoration Systems.

What causes hair loss?

Several things can contribute to causing hair loss. The number one culprit is usually genetics or hereditary male or female pattern baldness. This is a natural cause and often goes hand in hand with aging. There are also un-natural causes like certain prescription drugs or poor hair care routines or habits like overly processing with harsh chemicals. A number of health conditions like Lupus or Thyroid Disorders can also contribute to thinning hair or hair loss.

What hair loss solutions are there?

This all depends on your degree of hair loss but no matter what your situation is, there are plenty of solutions to choose from. Many advancements have been made in the hair restoration industry over the last several decades. Now there are hair transplant procedures that offer completely natural appearing results, with minimal to no pain or scarring, like the Neograft procedure. Other advancements include Laser Hair Therapy, which uses cool lasers to stimulate the hair follicles which can promote growth and thickening.

PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is another scientific advancement in hair restoration. This procedure actually uses stem cell technology to help re-grow your hair. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is collected from your blood after a sample is drawn and then placed in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma that is filled with the growth factor platelets. When injected back into scalp, PRP begins to heal the unhealthy areas of your head that are balding. Hair follicles can become healthy again and start to grow or thicken.

For those who are looking for a complete hair replacement option, advancements have been made there too, allowing for a completely natural and versatile look to be accomplished. Sensigraft is a great product available for men, which is designed with real human hair to match your existing hair and is virtually undetectable to sight or touch. ReAllusions for women is a similar product, in that it is a non-surgical option that is not a wig or hair piece, but a permanent solution that essentially becomes a part of you.

Do any advertised hair loss treatments actually work?

Yes! There's no guarantee that EVERY product advertised out there will work for you, but the options listed above have show proven results time and time again. You can watch several hair restoration client testimonials here to learn what their experience was like and how they feel about their results. You can also find more videos on YouTube.

When should I begin treatment for hair loss?

Generally, it's best to inquire about treatment in the early stages of hair loss or thinning. Options like PRP or Laser Hair Therapy are great procedures that can help stabilize your hair loss, while thickening and strengthening your existing hair. It is never too late, however.  Regardless of your degree of hair loss, there IS a solution for you.
