Hair Restoration does exactly what its name say it does. It restores hair to areas of hair loss. It is a cosmetic procedure that improves the esthetic image of a man or woman who is experiencing hair loss and wishes to restore his/her appearance. This procedure is highly successful that achieves the satisfactory outcome desired by the great majority of patients. Hair restoration is a procedure that cannot be undone after it has been performed on a person. However, it can be revised over time with additional surgery. With this being said it is very important that patients should be fully forthcoming in all answers, and should in turn ask as many questions as necessary to feel fully informed.
All questions regarding this procedure are usually resolved by discussions between patient and physician hair restoration specialist. In most cases, patient and physician arrive at an agreement on realistic expectations for outcome. Well directed questions, honest and full answers, discussion and agreement on all matters relating to the hair restoration procedure are as essential to good outcome as it the surgical procedure itself.

If you are an adult man or woman who has full head of hair you probably haven’t given much thought into hair transplantation. What do you say to a person who is having a hair transplantation? Do you say anything at all or do you wait for them to bring it to your attention before mentioning it?
Nowadays cosmetic procedures are common, well accepted and highly successful. Millions of people have cosmetic procedures done each year for a variety of different reasons. Some people may remove acne scars, or other skin blemishes, to reverse skin again, straighten teeth and realign jaws, to correct facial symmetry, and to restore hair loss to maintain a balanced facial appearance.
Therefore, a suspicion that cosmetic procedures are indications of self-centered vanity can color opinions. It’s an old, outdated belief, and it dies hard. In today’s society societal attitudes encourage people to be in charge of their own physical and psychological health. A 40 year old woman may find it unacceptable when the patchy-diffuse hair loss typical of female pattern androgenetic alopecia begins across her scalp or the appearance of a 40 year old man can be compromised by hair loss. With this being said its not surprising that people who choose to be “in charge” of their physical well-being will also choose to be “in charge” of their physical appearance.

The low- level laser therapy treatment is also known as “The Cold Laser”. The laser light generated by low-powered (cold) lasers has recently come into use as a non-surgical hair restoration treatment for patten hair loss.
The LLLT lasers are called “cold” because their light is absorbed by targeting tissue but does not heat the target tissue as occurs with lasers used to cut and remodel tissue. Instead the laser has an interaction with the living tissue which is defined as photobiology. This laser therapy has been proven to have the best results when combined with other medical therapies such as minoxidil or finasteride. Treatments must be repeated to maintain hair growth and the only permeant treatment for pattern hair loss is still hair transplantation.

Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil)

3D Videos
Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) are two types of products that are used for treating hair loss. Although these medications work differently they but both have Finasteride is used to treat patterned hair loss.  Finasteride is taken orally and is not available over the counter. You must go to a doctor and get a prescription to get put on this type of treatment. This treatment is not recommended for use in women od reproductive age and it tends to be a little more expensive then Rogaine. Finasteride is most effective in stimulating hair regrowth over the crown of the scalp.
Rogaine (minoxidil) on the other hand is used to treat hair loss in both men and women of all ages. It is available over the counter without a prescription. Rogaine (minoxidil) is applied topically, that is, it is applied directly to scalp skin where cessation of hair loss and stimulation of new hair growth is desired. Rogaine (minoxidil) is most effective in improving hair growth in central areas of the scalp more than in frontal and/or temporal areas.
While both types of treatments are effective there is a right type for everyone and some doctors even recommend both to some men.

October 12, 2011

A recent study was done to show the effects that Finasteride 5mg (Proscar) has on prostate cancer. The results of this study showed that the overall prevalence of prostate cancer in finasteride-treated men was reduced by 24.8% from the prevalence normally expected in men of that age. These results indicated that finasteride 5mg (Proscar) is effective in preventing or delaying the appearance of prostate cancer. But these results cannot be generalized from finasteride 5mg (Proscar) to the lower dose finasteride 1mg (Propecia), which is commonly given to reduce hair loss. Finasteride 1mg (Propecia) is currently accepted by the Food and Drug Administration as an indication for the safe use in hair loss but is in no way proven to prevent or even delay prostate cancer.
