Baldness and Testosterone – Important Facts About Male Baldness Treatment

Do you know about the relationship between baldness and testosterone when it comes to male baldness treatment? After reading this article, you will know exactly why male pattern baldness occurs and what type of male baldness treatment you need to get in order to stop it.

Baldness and testosterone have a closer relationship than you may think. Besides people that are taking certain medication, have some sort of unique disease, or are under a lot of traumatic stress in their life, everyone starts loosing their hair for the same reason: heredity.

To be more specific, people who suffer from androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) inherit a gene from one of their parents that makes them more sensitive to a certain type of hormone called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. When an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductace attaches to testosterone, DHT is what’s produced. This hormone then attaches to your hair follicles, causing them to get smaller and smaller under the follicles fall out of your scalp. Read more…

12 Common Mistakes Made During Hair Transplants

INTRODUCTION -

Although follicular unit transplant eliminates many of the shortcomings of older surgical hair restoration techniques, such as a “pluggy” look, a “moth-eaten” donor area or midline scalp reduction scars, poor aesthetic judgment and techniques that compromise graft growth can still lead to problems. Perhaps because follicular unit transplant requires large numbers of grafts (using a significant portion of the donor area at one time), because so many staff members are involved in the process, and because some of the problems of small graft procedures are very difficult to correct, improperly performed follicular unit hair transplantation can pose a greater risk to patients than traditional grafting. The risk is compounded by the fact that many physicians perceive follicular unit transplant as a safe, risk-free procedure and describe it to patients as such.

The remainder of this section will focus on some of the most common mistakes made by follicular unit transplant practitioners, particularly in the areas of planning, hair transplant design and handling large numbers of small grafts. These problems and how they may be avoided are summarized below.

1. Operating on patients that are too young or prior to medical therapy
2. Failing to identify low donor density prior to surgery
3. Failing to identify a tight scalp
4. Harvesting a donor strip that is too wide
5. Placing the donor incision too low or too high
6. Using a multi-bladed knife
7. Crushing grafts during insertion
8. Allowing grafts to dry
9. Placing the frontal hairline too far forward
10. Creating a hairline that is too broad
11. Angling hair in the wrong direction
12. Attempting to cover an area that is too large Read more…

Hair – Man's Crowning Glory

Hair is a simple protein filament that covers the body of any mammal. However for human beings, hair stands as the primary styling object. And depending on the hair style, the look of an individual can be altered dramatically. Hair also stands as a symbol of health and youth.

For men, hair stands as a prime object of glory. Facial hair marks the transition of a boy to a man. Since ancient times, hair styles have also denoted your association to a certain group, caste, sect or religion. For example Sikhs and Orthodox Jews keep their hair long or never shave their head fully.

Men also face the problem of male pattern baldness which is related to hair. Baldness not only comes with age, it also prematurely ‘ages’ you in appearance. The love for hair is inspiring many men to seek out a cure for their baldness with solutions like hair transplant, hair replacement or laser hair regrowth. In previous epochs of history the loss of hair was also synonymous to punishment in old days where a person’s head would be shaved off to degrade him socially. Read more…
