Frequently asked questions about Hair Loss

RSS Feeds   Text 
Which specialist should I see if I have hair loss?
You should see a Dermatologist and a General Physician.

Is stress a factor in hair loss?
Sometimes stress can play a role in diffuse loss. Stress-induced loss ordinarily regrows within a year of eliminating the cause.

How long does it take to see results from any treatment program?
Best results are often seen after the two-year mark. This is because hair follicles undergo a relatively long dormancy period in between growth cycles (usually about 3 months). In addition, hair only grows about inch per month in non-thinning areas and usually considerably slower in thinning areas. Since it generally takes several cycles of growth/fallout/regrowth, with the hair getting thicker and longer each time, it can take a great deal of time to see noticeable improvement. Note that best regrowth results are seen with hair that was lost within the last five years and in areas of the scalp in which there is still some fine hair.

Heard many testimonies that the best way to treat hair loss is by hair transplant because not all hair treatments will work..it will depends on individual and no 100% cure guaranteed.

There are other options for natural hair loss treatments, and those include using hair regrowth shampoos and herbal vitamins that have been known to help people regrow some hair. You can look into these products to see what other users have experienced. Truthfully, the best method is normally a combination of medication, shampoo, and vitamins, to keep the hair healthy, from the inside out. http://recedinghairlinehelp.com/
