Many people seek treatment for hair loss, and there are several different types of treatment that vary in effectiveness. The effectiveness may depend on a person's expectations and the cause of hair loss. Hair loss that is caused by an illness, medication, or damage to the hair can be treated more effectively than hair loss that is caused by heredity. For these patients, the answer to renewed hair growth can be simply changing certain medications, or taking new medication to stimulate hair growth. For those who have androgenetic alopecia, or male- or female-pattern baldness, medical hair replacement is generally the best cure, as medication often cannot solve this hereditary problem. Unfortunately, medical hair replacement doesn't always solve everyone's problems. First, patients who have very thin hair often aren't ideal candidates for hair replacement, because they just don't have enough healthy hair follicles to use as grafts for balding areas. Those with very thick healthy hair on the sides of their head, for example, make it easy for a surgeon to take follicles without causing too much damage to the healthy hair areas. Also, patients who have advanced cases of baldness may not have enough healthy hair to for surgeons to work with without noticeable differences in hair texture, etc. This means that many older patients who haven't been treated at the onset of baldness may be harder to cure. Those patients may be better served through either medication or hairpieces. Posted on May 30, 2004 at 04:57 PM
