The products as well as treatments to prevent of hair loss and promote re-growth of hair have become a big business. Owing to the great interest and subsequent demand, much online information about various hair treatments is available. However, it is unfortunate that most of that data is inaccurate and created only to draw the customers towards particular products. We give below some questions frequently asked about hair replacement procedures and the factual answers for them.
Q: Is the Laser hair treatment now popular really effective?
A: We can say it’s effective for some, but not for others. This is because the success of this treatment depends on the person concerned. Also it’s important to consult a doctor who can explain not only the possible side effects but also the failure of laser hair treatment for a particular person. Laser treatments are costly, and consecutive sessions should be periodically arranged so that the success rate could be monitored. If there’s no progress, the treatment may be suspended so as to save money which would be otherwise spent for nothing.
Q: Which doctor should be consulted for hair treatment options?
A: first of all, you should consult your regular doctor. Several causes of hair loss can be treated medically, such as unhealthy diet, stress, hormone levels, and reactions/side effects of certain drugs/medications. If the problem of hair loss persists, you can consult a dermatologist whose specialty is hair loss treatment.
Q: Is hair loss due to hereditary factors?
A: Yes, there’s enough evidence that it is true in many cases. But the specific trait or cause that gets transmitted through generations is likely to vary. There’s a widespread notion that the trait of hair loss is due to one’s maternal grandfather, but this is fallacious.
