Have You Tried Everything Else to Address Thinning Hair?
When someone is ready to look at hair restoration options, they may have already looked at non-invasive techniques. Some treatments include over-the-counter hair products such as Rogaine (minoxidil) and Propecia (finasteride).
These products help slow down the loss of hair and help promote growth. There are also shampoos, conditioners, and serums with hair growth ingredients like biotin and keratin. This might be helpful for a while or do nothing.
There are non-invasive hair thickening options that require a clinic visit. Microneedling uses needles, but they are very thin and are used to increase blood flow, so hair is stimulated to grow. It can also inspire the production of collagen. If that doesn’t work, and hair isn’t receding but only thinning, people have found scalp micropigmentation, or SMP, to be the answer. That procedure basically creates the appearance of hair with a tattooing technique. Another cosmetic option is attaching keratin-based fibers to the natural hair, giving it a thicker appearance. These treatments can work, but sometimes, they only work for a short period. And the cost of maintenance can add up. Maybe it’s time to consider FUE/FUT hair transplantation involving an ARTAS robot.
However You Say It, FUE, FUT, and ARTAS Can All Equate to Thicker Hair for Life
There are other temporary options, but if a Bay Area local is ready for a permanent solution to hair loss, hair transplant surgery is it. It does require maintenance and care afterward, but only a minimal and non-expensive amount! But some people might ask, what exactly do the words FUE, FUT and ARTAS mean? FUE is short form for Follicular Unit Extraction. This is basically the term for extracting hair follicles for the hair transplant procedure. An expert hair transplant surgeon, such as Dr. Miguel Canales uses technology to help locate the best, strongest hair follicles to transplant to the affected area. FUT is the term for Follicular Unit Transplantation. This is the moment when the patient comes back for the transplantation of these hair follicles. Depending on the amount of the area on the head, this can take from four to eight hours.
ARTAS stands for “Automated Robotic Artificial Intelligence System.” Basically it’s part of an AI system that works with an expert hair transplant surgeon like Dr. Miguel Canales. This collaboration brings the best of both human surgical acumen and robotic precision. The result can be a youthful, healthy head of hair with virtually no signs of the surgery. As stated before, there is some aftercare involved but it’s a simple maintenance plan. Post-surgery there are extra steps that include sleeping upright and using gentle products and cleaning of the hair. Over time, good habits include avoid keeping the head out in the sun too much. It’s also smart to stay away from heavy alcohol drinking and smoking. Other than these lifestyle changes, there is isn’t much more. If a Bay Area local is ready to find out about the benefits of FUE, FUT, and ARTAS hair transplant treatments, contact our clinic.
