Though very common today, hair loss is a very distressing condition. It can quash a person’s confidence and worsen any feelings of depression. Sadly, more than 70 percent of men experience a degree of hair loss as they age, which risks such a huge population to experience low self-esteem. Although several treatments have been introduced in the past to deal with hair loss, not all of them help really help in stimulating hair growth.
All thanks to continuous advancements in healthcare researchers, scientists have discovered new ways with which to effectively treat hair loss to stimulate healthy hair growth. Below, we have compiled a list of the latest breakthroughs in hair loss treatments that can certainly transform the way hair transplants are carried out in the coming years.
Laminins: The Latest Breakthrough
Hair loss researchers have recently discovered a molecule that goes by the name of ‘Laminins-511’ that they suspect can help in fighting baldness. This molecule is found to act like a messenger that if injected beneath the inner layer of skin, can kick-start the process of hair growth naturally. Actually a protein, the laminins-511 was used to conduct a study on mice, which led to a hair growth cycle. Researchers are confident that if these results are successfully duplicated for humans, this may one day be the best method to get rid of hair loss.
Advanced FUE for Healthier Hair
The method of FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) has also evolved immensely with time. New and more effective methods of FUE hair transplant are being adopted by surgeons and patients worldwide. One of the latest and most cutting edge techniques include the extraction of hair from the patient’s beard, only to be restored to the affected scalp area. This is an excellent method for those people who are in their advanced stages of hair loss and who also suffer from limited supply or poor quality hair. According to experts, facial hair continues to go through the growth phase for a very long time as compared to the hair on other parts of the body. This means that the transplanted facial hair will have a healthy and growing follicle for a long time, thus creating hair that is longer and fuller.
Robotic Hair Transplant
Another advancement in the FUE procedure is the introduction of Robotic Hair transplantation. In Robotic FUE, a Robotic machine removes hair grafts one by one for implant in the affected scalp area, thus resulting in unparalleled precision. It carries out this process with such speed and accuracy that is impossible to achieve with the human hand. The major advantage of having a Robotic FUE is that it leaves no linear scars in the donor area and doesn’t have any post-operative limitations on any physical activity.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
For people who despise surgical procedures, a new Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has been introduced to help fight baldness. It is a simple, non-surgical procedure whereby a nutrient-rich plasma is injected into the patient’s scalp. Once done, the hair is washed and no further medication or sedation is given. Soon, the blood cells begin to do their job and hair growth is stimulated naturally. It is one of the most effective ways to deal with baldness and low self-esteem.
