Possible solutions
There are many solutions, but they are very different in treatment and effect. Insight is our table.
| method | Declaration |
| finasteride | everyone is talking about is the active ingredient finasteride. He has the purpose to reduce the formation of the hormone dihydrotestosterone or also to stop so not progression of hair loss. A drug containing this active substance should be taken but constantly, so for life be found alternative methods against hair loss |
| transplant | hair transplants are mostly desired by men. To do this, the surgeon draws the new hair line (usually starting at the forehead). There a lot of flair and artistic understanding that the new hairline has also of course by the doctor. In a session, a surgeon can transplant approximately 4000 hair. If multiple sessions are required, 3-5 months should elapse between them until the next transplant takes place |
| cut | it can but also with the patients agreed, that the bald spot cut out, to reduce the "bald", it can however leave scars |
| Expander method | in the edge of the bald spot, but still in the hairy area, inserted a balloon made of silicone, which is becoming more and more filled with a saline solution. Several months left this balloon in the skin, because you want to stretch the skin in. After this time, the balloon is removed and now covered the nearby bald point with the enlarged skin flaps. For many people, it is of course difficult to live several months with a such survey on the head |
| dot system | now there is also the free hair transplantation (dot system): to a small strip of skin is removed (the skin have sew together but again without difficulty) from the remaining hair wreath and parts in many other small parts, which are now inserted and glued into small slots on the bare skin. A distinction is made in micro (hair follicle contains 1-2 for the front office) and mini grafts (includes up to 6 follicles for the rear bald spot) |
conclusion:
| operation type | local anesthesia, up to 1000 grafts in a session (approx. 4000 hair) |
| operation duration | between 3 and 4 hours |
| work ability | better only after 1-2 weeks |
| after surgery |

Advisor:
After surgery:

- sunlight, and sports for 1-2 months avoid
- No alcohol or nicotine consumption for at least 2 weeks
- hair washing after 3-4 days with shampoos by the doctor
Hi,
es gibt keine großen Alternativen zu Minoxidil auf dem Markt. Da tummeln sich nur irgendwelche Mittelchen mit Koffein und anderem Quatsch. Minoxidil wirkt immer, aber nach anlagebedingtem Haarausfall und Alter unterschiedlich stark. Bei fast allen wird der Haarausfall verlangsamt und bei jedem Dritten wächst auch ein bisschen was nach, wenn der Haarausfall nicht schon über ein Jahrzehnt besteht. Aber an den SChläfen wirkt Minoxidil nicht. Dafür braucht man dann härtere Mittelchen.
