About Hair Loss

Hair Loss Information

Hair loss treatment has been a focus of civilizations for hundreds if not thousands of years. Countless solutions have existed through the ages, but we’ve never been in a position to treat hair loss like we are today. Even in modern times, not every solution is effective, which is why at Nowigs we only use treatment methods that have been scientifically proven in clinical settings. Treatment options willimprove hair health to ensure that your hair both feels and looks better. Often, the treatment depends on the underlying cause for the hair loss, and we will help you to understand the relationship between the two.

Treatments Offered at Nowigs:-

Surgical Hair Transplantation

THair surgery is rapidly becoming the most popular method of hair loss treatment, thanks to its ability to ensure permanent hair regrowth. Hair transplant surgery is often combined with medicated solutions to ensure the best results. With hair surgery, we’ll be using your own healthy hair follicles to implant on areas where hair loss is apparent.

Drugs and Medication to Treat Hair Loss

You’ll probably be familiar with hair loss products like Propecia, Avodart, and Regain. These formulations are critical in hair loss treatment because they function in two ways. Not only do they help support hair regrowth and healthy hair, but they can also slow or prevent any further hair loss. Highly effective in most cases, we’ll talk to you about the suitability of drugs and medication for your type of hair loss.

Micropigmentation of the Scalp

A form of cosmetic tattooing, scalp micropigmentation uses the highest quality medical ink to create extremely fine markings on the scalp that simulate the look of close shaved hair. With a shaved head, micropigmentation can suggest a full hairline. Technician skill is critical when applying micropigmentation, to ensure a natural and convincing look.

Cosmetic Solutions that Disguise Hair Loss

Treatments that focus entirely on the cosmetic factors of hair loss can be effective at building confidence and reducing the stress associated with balding or thinning hair. Products like specially formulated shampoos and conditioners, and hair thickening solutions, can be used in conjunction with surgical or medicated treatments, masking hair loss while restorative treatments are underway. Not everybody will be comfortable with these products. Some can be messy and time consuming to apply. However, a number of patients find them useful for social and business occasions when they want to look their best, with total confidence in their hair.

Other Solutions We Don’t Provide at Nowigs

Synthetic Hair Implants

Hair implants using artificial fibres can create a cosmetically acceptable look, however, they can come with a host of problems. Fibres must be tied to your scalp, similar to stitches, and also must be coloured to match your natural hair. Synthetic hair does not properly bond with the dermis and can be rejected or lead to infection.

Professional Wigs and Hair Pieces

Hair pieces can provide a fully natural look, and are an effective way to conceal hair loss in both men and women. The highest quality hair pieces are made from natural hair, and require a high amount of care and must be regularly replaced. Natural hair wigs can also be expensive and become cost prohibitive over a long period of time. As you would expect, wigs and hair pieces do nothing to address underlying hair loss, and should be considered a temporary solution.
