The bald truth about hair loss
Although we live in a technologically advanced era, with information available to us at the touch of a computer screen, when it comes to hair loss, we are still bombarded with false and outdated facts. Because more than 75% of males and approximately 8% of females suffer from baldness, there is a massive market of people eager to accept bogus treatments in order to restore their crowning glory. It is a worldwide accepted scientific fact that we do not lose hair because of a lack of blood flow to the scalp. If this common myth were true, then every bald person would have gangrenous skin and their scalp would rot. It is also logical that if there where not sufficient blood flow to the scalp, a bald person would not bleed if they cut their head. Genetic hair loss is an inherited condition which is not life threatening, but has powerful psychological implications for the sufferer. It is caused by a sensitivity of the hair follicle (root) to the male hormone (testosterone). It is a progressive disease which results in a progressive thinning of the hair, which eventually becomes miniaturized and disappears. Once the hair has fallen out and bald skin appears no prayers, potions, lotions nor laser therapy could ever restore the lost hair. Despite the fact that there are thousands of quick-fix remedies and potions, the US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has only approved two products to prevent further hair loss, namely Propecia (Finasteride) and Regaine (Minoxidil). Although both have a role
to play in the treatment of hair loss, they have their limitations. There are no magic or miraculous cures for baldness. Despite the massive advertising campaigns of ruthless businesspeople preying on the vulnerabilities of bald people to make a quick buck. The most expensive treatment is the treatment that doesn’t work. Even if it cost R1; it is still a waste of money. Hair transplantation is the only permanent solution to this age-long problem. Hair is replaced in a natural and undetectable fashion. Using the latest international techniques, hair is relocated from an area where it is not pre-pro-grammed to fall out (donor area on the sides of the head). The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and is less painful than a visit to the dentist. It is totally undetectable and no one will be aware that it has been done. The transplanted follicles only start growing three to four months following the procedure. Because these follicles are not predisposed to fall out, they will continue to grow forever. The transplanted hair will never fall out. Our doctors at the clinic have performed more than 3000 procedures and offer all their patients a 100% guarantee. Today baldness is an option – it is no longer compulsory. Contact us for a free medical assessment to find out what your options are.
