Hair Transplant Surgeon Dallas

What causes hair loss?

There are many causes of hair loss with the most common being androgenic alopecia. Androgenic alopecia affects both men and women with different patterns. Fortunately there are treatments. The first step in alopecia treatment is determining the cause by visiting with a physician.

Hair Loss Treatments

There are three treatments approved for treating male androgenic alopecia by the US Food and Drug Administration and two for women. Finasteride, minoxidil, and low level laser light devices are approved for men and minoxidil and low level laser light devices are approved for women. With any treatment, the goal is to slow or stop the progression of hair loss, not necessarily to regrow any hair. The results also may take 6 months to show and the products will need to be continued for life as discontinuation will result in returned hair loss.

Hair Restoration Surgery

The only way to replace lost hair is through hair replacement surgery. The procedure produces natural results with varying density depending on an individual's native hair and native density. Dr. Verret performs both follicular unit grafting with strip harvesting or follicular unit extraction.
