Hair loss has caused a great problem for man kind for a long time. It concerns mainly men, but not rare in women's case either. Its most frequent cause is a change in hormones (androgen baldness), but a permanent inflammation anywhere in the body (bad tooth, bile-stone) may have a similar effect as well.
If you are considering a treatment, it is advised to pinpoint these inflammations first. Many people use the products for hair loss accessible in the pharmacies, with more or less results, but the variety of these products indicates that there is no real cure, no perfect substance.
However there are 2 products worth mentioning. One of them is the Finasteride (Proscar, Propecia) affecting the hormone system, the other one is the Minoxidil (Regain) lotion to be used directly on the skin. These substances slow the hair loss process down, but always consult a doctor before using them. Anyhow, when the hair is lost, these methods can do unfortunately nothing to replace it.

What can be done then?

Several surgical possibilities are available.

In the case of a small bald area hair replacement can be performed. The hair on the back and on the side of the head is not sensitive to the hormones, and it keeps this quality even after the transplantation.
In this case one line of the hairy skin is removed from the back of the head, and the scar is stitched. The removed part is converted into micro-grafts (units containing 1-3 hairs) to be implanted to the problematic area by using precise techniques.
80-90% of the transplanted hairs will endure permanently. The result of the surgery is lasting. Depending on the baldness, 2-3 surgeries might be necessary, moving more than 800-1000 grafts of hair every time. The operation is done in local anesthesia, and takes 4-6 hours. The patient will sometimes feel a little itchiness or nothing at all.

The stitches from the back of the head are removed 10 days after the procedure. The scar is situated crosswise on the head, and it is invisible as covered by hair. There are no stitches on the implanted area.

The result begin to show after 3 months, according to the natural hair growth rhythm, and within 6 months hair will cover the area which was bald before.

Using strong, dark hair is the most efficient for the hair replacement procedure and for a long lasting optical results.
