The commonest cause of baldness in both women and men is genetics. As a matter of fact, heredity is what accounts for 95 percent of all cases of hair loss. There are various other causes such as diet, stress, medications and illnesses. In the case of women, childbirth can cause temporary loss of hairs. The loss is as a result of the changes which take place in their bodies. In considering hair replacement Beverly Hills residents need to be conversant with the procedures.

There are a number of procedures which are available for the replacement of hairs. There are only two drugs which are approved by the FDA for treating baldness. The two drugs are Rogaine and Propecia. Rogaine is a topical solution which gets applied directly through rubbing on the scalp where the growth is required. There is only a small percentage of people who experience growth of hairs with this option. The lotion however slows loss of hairs.

Propecia is a pill which is used by males for treating baldness. It needs to only be used under instruction from a doctor. It is an option which is effective but one is not expected to discontinue the use because that will lead to negative outcomes. When you are treating permanent loss hairs, procedures to be used include punch grafting, micro grafting and slit grafting. Another procedure that is used is known as scalp reduction. The situation of a person determines what method is to be used.

Not all people are ideal candidates for this procedure. For example, those with adverse loss of hairs will not be ideal for the treatment. The same applies to people who do not have enough donor sites. Donor sites are the areas which produce hairs. The other category of people who might not get the required results are those who form keloid scars. The scars are as a result of trauma or surgery.

Grafting or hair transplant is one of the techniques which are used for replacement of hairs. It is an outpatient procedure which is performed in the office of the surgeon. Micro grafts have 1 or 2 hairs for each graft while slit grafts have between 4 or 10. Punch grafts have 10 to 15. There are various other options which will depend on situation of the person.

Scalp reduction is removal of skin sections that do not bear hairs. The removal is done to ensure that remaining areas which produce hairs get stretched so as to fill the bald sections. With this treatment, it will be possible to reduce half or more of the bald sections. It is an ideal option for covering the bald areas either at the top or back of the head. It is not suitable for front hairs.

For the scalp reduction procedure, there will first be injection of local anesthetic into your scalp. After that, bald segments are removed. After that is accomplished, there is loosening of surrounding skin, which is then stretched gently. The stretching is done to bring hair-bearing sections together.

There are many methods used for replacement of hairs. You will need to first get assessed to determine the best procedure to be used. Different people will need different procedures.
