ABOUT HAIR LOSS TREATMENT (COMPLETE GUIDE)
Hair loss treatments treat a number of hair loss problems in both men and women. Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can occur on the body or head and can be caused by a number of factors such as male-pattern baldness, medications, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or trichtillomania (compulsive hair pulling).
Treatments are recommended for patients who are experiencing hair thinning, rather than complete hair loss. There are a number of treatments available to treat hair loss, many of which aim to stimulate the growth of hair. Treatments include mesotherapy, skin needling which is also known as CIT (collagen induced therapy), medication, and laser therapy.
Mesotherapy is the injection of nutrients into the scalp, which aim to stimulate the growth of hair. Collagen induced therapy (CIT), involves using needles to puncture the skin, in order to stimulate collagen production, which promotes hair growth. Laser therapy uses laser technology such as the HaorMax LaserComb, which is applied to the thinning area of hair in order stimulate hair growth.
For patients who have larger amounts of hair loss which is more than hair thinning, other treatments such as a hair transplant may be recommended.

HOW TO FIND HAIR LOSS TREATMENTS ABROAD
BEFORE HAIR LOSS TREATMENT ABROAD
Patients who are experiencing hair loss should meet the doctor for a consultation, in order to discuss the options and to establish which treatment is best for their condition.
HOW IS IT PERFORMED
The course of treatment will vary with each patient, depending on each case.
Mesotherapy involves injecting medication into the problem area such as pharmaceutical or homeopathic medications, or a combination of vitamins, which will nourish the hair and stimulate hair growth.
Patients may also receive skin needling treatment to stimulate the scalp, such as CIT (collagen induced therapy), which uses needles to stimulate collagen and promote hair growth.
Laser therapy may also be used as a hair stimulator, as the bursts of light are believed to help promote hair growth. The laser is applied to the thinning area of the head.
Often patients are prescribed a drug to prevent further hair loss and to encourage new growth.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE TREATMENT
Post procedure care
For patients taking prescription hair loss medication, it is necessary to continue to take the medication as instructed, or the hair that has been gained may begin to deteriorate.
