BEST TREATMENTS FOR THINNING HAIR

THE BEST TREATMENTS FOR THINNING HAIR, ONCE AND FOR ALL

The best hair thinning treatments include;

Hair thinning

Hair thinning contains two procedures, such as, follicular unit transplantation and follicular unit extraction. Generally, the surgeon removes hair from areas with more and transfers to those with less. This option gives long-term results, and may take between 4 and 8 hours to finish. But an individual risks getting scarring or infections. It may also take several treatments to get what you desire. I recommend consulting your derm to determine if this treatment suits you or not.

Platelet-rich plasma

Platelet-rich procedure is best for treating patients with androgenetic alopecia, a condition resulting in shrinking of hair follicles. A doctor eliminates plasma from your blood and injects it in the areas with less hair, helping recover hair growth. It takes around 10 minutes, and the treatment lasts longer. However, it risks infection at the injection area, nerve injury, or damage to blood vessels in the scalp. It can also cause muscles cramps, bladder problems, and confusion due to use of anesthesia during the procedure.
