Can Hair Loss Be Reversed? Answer: It Depends.
A lot of people in the US today suffer from hair loss, and it is understandable because it is a natural process, although it does not affect everybody. It is largely a matter of genetics. You may be lucky and never suffer the problem, but then again you may be one of the very many who do.
If you are one of the latter and want to know how to stop hair loss, the good news is that we are today in the 21st century and it is now possible. There are medications which can be used, but you need to know what is what, because only two are approved by the FDA. These are minoxidil and finasteride, and they can be prescribed by a qualified hair transplant surgeon such as Dr. Miguel Canales at Silicon Valley Hair Institute in Foster City. He will be able to explain these to you if you want to know how to stop hair loss.
There is also the use of low-level light therapy which involves the use of a laser. And in addition to that, there is, of course, the possibility of a hair transplant which today can be carried out manually by Dr. Canales or by the use of the ARTAS robot. Dr. Canales led the team which invented the ARTAS robot, so he is, without doubt, the world’s foremost expert in its’ use, and we are fortunate to have him here in the Bay Area.
A hair transplant involves harvesting hairs from one part of the head and then implanting them in the areas of thinning hair or bald patches. This moves “immune” hair follicles which – even though transplanted – do not stop growing as we get older.
At The Forefront Of The Latest Developments
Dr Canales has been at the forefront of developments in hair transplantation for many years, and he can now provide another new treatment which is called PRP. That stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, and it is created from a sample of your own blood! Although that may sound very unusual, in fact PRP has been used for many years to treat certain conditions such as osteoarthritis and wounded tendons, among others. But only very recently has it been discovered that it can help with reversing hair loss.
So today there are several possibilities for the treatment of thinning hair, so if you want to know how to stop hair loss and restore those luxurious locks again you need to make an appointment to see Dr Canales. He will assess your condition and advise you of the most appropriate treatment
