Men’s Hair Loss

Over 50 million men suffer from the devastating effects of hair loss in the U.S. alone. While factors such as stress, medications, poor diet, and even lack of sleep can cause men to lose their hair, the largest influence is genetics.

Androgenetic Alopecia, more commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Male pattern baldness is usually caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones in certain parts of the scalp and is passed from one family member to the next. This means you inherited hair follicles that suffer from dihydrotestosterone or DHT for short, these hair follicles shrink until the follicles stop producing hair.

According to the American Hair Loss Association, male pattern baldness is responsible for approximately 95% of men’s hair loss. About 25% of men who suffer from male pattern baldness will start to experience hair loss before they reach the age of 21. Nearly two-thirds of American men will experience some form of visible hair loss by the age of 35 and by the age of 50 approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning hair. See the diagram below.

Male pattern baldness is identified by the pattern of hair loss. The typical pattern of male baldness begins at the hairline, and gradually recedes until forming an "M" shape. Eventually the hair becomes finer, shorter, and thinner, creating a u-shaped ring of hair that wraps around the back of the head.

While male pattern baldness is usually diagnosed based on appearance, your hair loss could be caused by many other reasons.

Laser Hair Therapy & dhtSENSOR at IHRS

There are so many reasons why we’re losing our hair, including stress, hair styles, scalp disorders, menopause, medications, even what we eat. Nevertheless, at International Hair Restoration Systems in Jacksonville, we are dedicated to providing hair loss solutions for men and women that appear so natural, both to the eye as well as to the touch, that there is simply no reason to suffer from hair loss any longer.

Low Level Laser Hair Therapy (LLLT) is a revolutionary, non-invasive breakthrough for men and women suffering from hair loss. Using low level laser light, Laser Hair Therapy helps stimulate blood flow around the hair follicles in the scalp. This increase in blood flow encourages hair volume and in-turn, gives you more healthier looking hair. This treatment may not only give you thicker, fuller, and healthier hair but LLLT may also help prolong the life of your hair color and perms.  

Many of our clients achieve results after just five or six treatments, however, some clients have said that they’ve experienced improvement after 10-12 treatments. Laser Hair Therapy is known to be especially effective when used in combination with a hair loss control program such as our own dhtSENSOR.  

Our dhtSENSOR is an easy-to-use, clinically-tested hair loss prevention program designed to help control excessive hair loss, stimulate hair growth, improve the quality and condition of your scalp, minimize hair loss, and enhance the appearance of thin looking hair.

What Are The Benefits of Laser Hair Therapy Treatment?
• Laser Therapy may increases the blood supply to the scalp by 54% after only one treatment.
• For 85% of patients, Laser Hair Therapy has helped stop the progression of hair loss
• Increased hair strength.
• Get more full and shinier hair.
• Laser treatments have shown to greatly help newly transplanted hair by increasing the healing process.
• Laser Hair Therapy can repair damage caused by chemical services.

We have found that men and women who are in the early stages of hair loss benefit the most from low level laser hair therapy treatments. At IHRS in Jacksonville, we are recognized experts in the practice and administration of Laser Hair Therapy and we can help advise you to see if laser therapy is the right option for your type of hair loss.

FUT & FUE - What's The Difference?

Forty percent of men have some sort of visible hair loss by the time they reach 35 years of age. At International Hair Restoration Systems, we offer safe and effective procedures that can treat male pattern baldness such as hair transplantation. We offer the traditional Follicular Unit Transfer (FUT) transplant method and our NeoGraft Hair Transplant System that uses a more minimally invasive Follicular Unit Extraction technique (FUE).

Follicular Unit Transfer (FUT) -

The FUT method involves surgically removing a section of the scalp from the donors head, also called the "strip method". Once the hair follicles are extracted from the donor strip, they are redistributed across the scalp. While scarring is minimal, this technique leaves a linear scar that makes shorter hair styles difficult. Even though this procedure has a longer recovery time, the results include greater coverage, density, and a natural, age-appropriate-looking hair line.


Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) -

With the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method there is no need to excise a piece of the scalp because the hair follicles are removed directly and individually from the donor area. Since this technique doesn't involve removing a strip of skin from the scalp, clients have the benefit of no incision marks or visible scarring, leaving little to no risk of complications. There is very little recovery time, less activity limitations, and the results are said to look much more natural than the traditional strip method.

No matter what procedure our clients choose our clinic concentrates exclusively on performing the best hair transplantation procedures possible. At IHRS, we place the highest priority on quality and personalized patient care and services. We like to extend every courtesy to our clients and patients to ensure a pleasant, and comfortable hair restoration procedure that will give them the hair they want.

Hot Weather Hairstyles

As the weather heats up we’re all searching for ways to keep cool while we spend more time outside. One of the easiest ways to help us stay cool is by switching up our hairstyles. Here are a few styles to help you beat the heat this spring and summer.

THE FIVE STRAND BRAID

If you’re rushing around the house trying to get ready and still don’t know what to do with your hair, the five-strand side braid is a hairstyle that looks great, doesn't require much effort, and will keep the hair off your neck.  

SUMMERTIME HAIR WRAP

Whether you’re doing chores or just spending the day in your garden, this hairstyle works perfectly since it keeps you hair up and out of your face. This simple style secures your hair using a wrap or scarf while adding a bit more flair to your hair.

Image

TRIPLE BRAIDED CINNAMON BUN

Along with ponytails, braids and wraps, another simple style to help keep you cool is the bun. Buns are an effective and trendy way to keep those pesky hairs off your face and neck. Instead of just one bun, make it three for fun summer locks!

FRENCH BRAIDED PONYTAIL

The ponytail is a people’s choice favorite when it comes to hot weather hairstyles, but if you’re looking for a unique way to change up your ponytail try adding a French braid. Braiding your hair will help pull loose strands away from your face allowing for more comfort and a flirty style.

NeoGraft at IHRS

If you've been considering surgical solutions for your hair loss but are not sure which one to choose from, International Hair Restoration Systems is proud to offer NeoGraft - a revolutionary breakthrough in the world of hair transplantation. 

Until recently, most hair transplants patients underwent the traditional “strip method” of hair replacement. This method involves a surgeon harvesting hair follicles from a strip of skin removed from the donor area in the back of the patients head and then distributing the hairs throughout the scalp. 

   

NeoGraft, however uses the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method. The FUE method removes individual hair follicles from the scalp in their naturally occurring groupings of about 1 to 4 hairs and are then placed in the areas of the scalp where balding has occurred. The FUE has become the more preferred method for hair transplant due to the numerous benefits this technique offers.

NeoGraft hair restoration is a minimally invasive procedure and the surgery time required is less than half the time of standard transplant procedures. Since the hair follicles are removed directly from the donor area, there is no scalpel incision or linear scar and little to no risk of complications. There are less activity restrictions and more natural looking hair results than you get from traditional strip methods and the recovery time is minimal, patients can typically go back to work the next day.

If you’re finally ready to say goodbye to your hair loss call (904) 425-5097 or visit www.Hair4Me.com/ to request your free, no-obligation evaluation. Get the expert advice you want and start living the life you want with the hair you desire.

"NeoGraft is less invasive and offers more comfort to our patients. We are the exclusive provider of this technique in the Jacksonville area, and our patients benefit from it."

Caring For Your Hair This Spring!

Spring Hair

While the spring provides new opportunities, it also brings new challenges for our hair. As you begin to enjoy the warm weather, remember that your hair needs just as much protection as your skin. Here are a few ways to help protect your hair this season. 

Sun: One of the biggest challenges you’re hair will face this season is the sun. Fortunately, protecting your hair isn't quite so challenging. Wearing a wide brimmed hat or a headscarf is a simple and stylish way to protect your locks. Another simple solution is to style your hair into a simple up-do such as a bun or braids. An up-do will protect the bottom strands, which are the weakest parts of your hair, from sun damage. To help minimize the effects of the sun try using UV protecting shampoo, conditioner, and styling aids. 

Moisture Balance: While it was important to keep your hair moisturized during the dry months of winter, the humidity from spring will alter your conditioning habits. Too much moisture will make your hair more prone to frizzing so if you deep conditioned your hair once a week during winter change it to every other week. If you used a heavy daily conditioner during winter swap it for a lighter moisture or balancing conditioner. Your hair will show you how much moisture it needs. If your hair has a lot of tangles, dry ends, or it feels rough to the touch, you're lacking moisture and need to add a deep conditioning to your hair regime. If your hair is limp or oily, cut back on the conditioning treatments.   

Chlorine: One of the best things about spring is spending time at the pool, but the chlorine can have a damaging effect on your hair. Chlorine does more than cause green hair, it can also dry out your hair, causing damage to the bottom strands and leaving your hair looking dull and lacking luster. The easiest way to protect your hair from damage is to wash your hair thoroughly with a clarifying shampoo and balancing conditioner immediately after you leave the pool. However, if you still feel like the chlorine is building up in your hair many salons can do an in-salon treatment to help remove the excess chlorine.
