Hair loss can affect just your scalp or your entire body, and it can be temporary or permanent. It can be the result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or a normal part of aging. Anyone can lose hair on their head, but it’s more common in men. Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp. Hereditary hair loss with age is the most common cause of baldness. Before pursuing hair loss treatment, feel free to contact us to discuss what the best treatment plan would be for you depending on the cause of hair loss.
Hair loss is typically related to one or more of the following factors:
- The most common cause of hair loss is a hereditary condition that happens with aging. This condition is called androgenic alopecia, male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness. It usually occurs gradually and in predictable patterns — a receding hairline and bald spots in men and thinning hair along the crown of the scalp in women.
- A variety of conditions can cause permanent or temporary hair loss, including hormonal changes due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and thyroid problems.
- Medical conditions include alopecia areata, which is immune system related and causes patchy hair loss, scalp infections and a hair-pulling disorder called trichotillomania.
- Moreover, hair loss can be a side effect of certain drugs, such as those used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, gout and high blood pressure.
- Finally, many people experience a general thinning of hair several months after a physical or emotional shock. This type of hair loss is temporary.
Common myths/misunderstandings about hair transplantations
There are a few common myths around hair loss and we want to make sure that you have all the information you need before making any decisions about the course of treatment you will be pursuing.
Hair transplants can fall out over time: false!
The results of a hair transplant, unlike the more fast and less invasive techniques, such as using special shampoos or certain products, will never fade. Our results are guaranteed to help you solve the hair loss issue once and fore-all. This is because we use the healthy hair on your head and we transplant it to the areas that suffer. Once the healing begins, the follicular units can no longer be moved.
People will be able to tell that I have had a hair transplant: false!
The traditional hair transplantation method uses strips of skin which are removed from the donor area, leaving a permanent scar. Using a more advanced method called follicular method extraction or FUE, follicular units, that is groups of one to four individual hair follicles, are transferred, leading to minor, hole-shaped scars. This technique is less painful, more effective and provides a more natural result. Both methods are still used by several hair transplantation providers. At Swiss Luxury Clinic we are a further step among them and closer to perfection by using finer tools and a direct and absolutely pain-free & highly effective method to achieve a completely natural result without any scars, this method is the SLC FENDI Technique – Swiss Luxury Clinic Follicular Extraction and Needle Direct Implantation Technique.
