Hair loss<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>alopecia<\/span><\/a>, can be a normal occurrence in the natural aging process of men, but it doesn\u2019t have to be a losing battle. Suffering with <\/span>hair loss<\/span><\/a> can affect men both personally and socially. A diminishing hairline might lower their self-esteem, but it may also affect how men are perceived by others. Genetics, environmental factors, or aging can cause gradual thinning, circular patching bald spots, or sudden loosening of hair on men\u2019s heads. <\/span>Premier Plastic Surgery & Dermatology<\/span><\/a> has solutions to aid in restoration and regrowth of your natural hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT IS <\/span>HAIR LOSS<\/span><\/a>?<\/span><\/p>\n

Typically, men shed 50-100 hairs daily with new hair growing in simultaneously. This normal process keeps hair looking full and healthy. When this cycle of shedding and hair growth is disrupted or hair follicles are damaged, <\/span>hair loss<\/span><\/a>, or <\/span>alopecia<\/span><\/a>, becomes an issue as the thinning of the hair is noticeable. Triggers of this disruption can be genetics, medical conditions such as alopecia areata, or medications. (<\/span>American Academy of Dermatology<\/span><\/i><\/a>, <\/span>Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/i><\/a>)<\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alopecia<\/span><\/a> can have a negative ongoing effect on the quality of life of men causing feelings of low self-esteem (<\/span>Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology<\/span><\/i><\/a>). Some men prefer to allow their <\/span>hair loss<\/span><\/a> to run its course. Some may try to hide their baldness with a hat or creative hairstyle. Other men will choose to take action and treat their <\/span>alopecia<\/span><\/a> to prevent further hair loss and restore growth, which can include hair transplants or oral treatments <\/span>(<\/span>Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/i><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT ARE HAIR RESTORATION TREATMENTS?<\/span><\/p>\n

For men who no longer want to live with baldness, <\/span>Premier Plastic Surgery & Dermatology<\/span><\/a> offers a variety of treatments ranging from topical treatments such as medicated shampoos, lotions, and foams to air-compressed injections, oral medications, laser therapy and <\/span>NeoGraft\u00ae<\/span><\/a> hair transplantation. Reasonable goals for treating <\/span>hair loss<\/span><\/a> are to promote hair growth, slow <\/span>hair loss<\/span><\/a>, and conceal <\/span>hair loss<\/span><\/a>. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hair restoration<\/span><\/a> surgical procedures have developed over time. The <\/span>hair restoration<\/span><\/a> procedure performed at <\/span>Premier Plastic Surgery & Dermatology<\/span><\/a> is <\/span>NeoGraft\u00ae<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>NeoGraft\u00ae<\/span><\/a> is an FDA approved solution for hair loss using follicular unit extraction (FUE) technology that has emerged as the gold standard for hair restoration. A large number of small, naturally occurring individual follicular units are removed directly from the patient\u2019s donor region by 1-mm punch excisions (<\/span>Dermatologic Surgery<\/span><\/i><\/a>). The follicular units are implanted into the areas on the patient where hair is thin or no longer present. This procedure leaves no linear scarring, requires minimal downtime, and produces a more natural appearance. These benefits make <\/span>NeoGraft\u00ae<\/span><\/a> a more appealing option than traditional linear harvesting which leaves a scar (<\/span>Europe PMC<\/span><\/i><\/a>). The <\/span>NeoGraft\u00ae<\/span><\/a> procedure aims to restore your full head of hair quickly and discretely with as little disruption to your daily routine as possible. Studies show that choosing <\/span>NeoGraft\u00ae<\/span><\/a>, quickly gives you a more healthy and natural looking result with little or no discomfort and no scarring (<\/span>U.S.National Library of Medicine<\/span><\/i><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Some men may be resistant or hesitant to consider surgical methods of hair restoration. <\/span>Premier Plastic Surgery & Dermatology<\/span><\/a> offers several non-surgical strategies for men who prefer non-surgical treatments of their hair loss. Oral treatments include FinPlus, which is a compounded finasteride therapy that combines finasteride, bioavailable biotin, saw palmetto, and herbs in order to maximize hair regrowth. Finasteride is a well-tolerated and effective oral therapy for male pattern hair loss useful in both preventing future hair loss and promoting scalp hair regrowth (<\/span>U.S. National Library of Medicine<\/span><\/i><\/a>). Results will vary from patient to patient, but this therapy can be used in combination with other treatments, such as laser therapy or oral treatments. Another oral therapy option is Viviscal, which is a dietary supplement that employs an assortment of amino acids along with plant and marine extracts to actively promote existing hair growth and nourish thinning hairs (<\/span>U.S. National Library of Medicine<\/span><\/i><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n
