FUE hair transplants may begin to grab your attention as you first notice your hairline receding. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant is an impressive, practical tool that is gaining popularity daily. Men and women who wish to permanently redistribute their own growing hair follicles to thinning areas can do so flawlessly with modern FUE hair transplant techniques. But what about everyone else? The people who see more strands on the pillow each day, whose hairlines are creeping back, but are not yet ready to invest in a transplant? Do they just have to watch the hairs fall out? No way! We’re sharing 6 of our favourite ways to save your hair before it’s too late.
Toronto’s Dr. Cory Torgerson offers a multitude of treatments for men and women at all stages of hair loss. The Toronto Hair Transplant Clinic will be pleased to schedule your no-obligation consultation whenever you’re ready to talk about next steps.
Besides FUE hair transplants, what can you do to prevent hair loss?
At the Toronto Hair Transplant Clinic, the advanced digital FUE systems, SmartGraft and NeoGraft, deliver unparalleled, natural-looking hair restoration to clients from across Canada. Of those patients, most suffer from a common genetic condition called androgenic alopecia.
This may be the type of thinning you have too. If your family members lost hair at predictable times with a characteristic pattern, you can expect yours to follow suit.
“Male pattern baldness” is a well-known term used to describe this condition, because far more men than women experience it. The pattern of fallout for males typically leaves a band of hair at the back and sides of the scalp, while hair thins and recedes at the front and top. For women, the presentation is different, with thinning all over, leading to a visible scalp.
Why do people seek FUE hair transplants for androgenic alopecia?
By age 35, more than half of all men report hair loss. Scientists typically implicate the hormone DHT, which harms follicles and miniaturizes hairs. Men with remaining hair at the back and sides of the head have DHT-resistant follicles in those areas.
If this description sounds familiar, don’t despair. FUE hair transplants are ideal for redistributing the DHT-resistant hairs that you still have and filling in sparse zones. The effects are permanent too! To find out if this is the cause of your hair thinning or if other factors are at play, you need a consultation.
Your experienced hair transplant surgeon can examine your scalp and hair, ask essential questions, and determine if other issues like diet and lifestyle are contributing factors.
You may be experiencing vitamin deficiencies, side effects from medication, stress, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and more. The great news is that most of these are treatable and reversible, so the hair loss can be too. Instead of recommending an FUE hair transplant, your surgeon may suggest any of the following:
