learn Scalp Micropigmentation

scalp tattoos to mimic the appearance of light stubble

What is Scalp Micropigmentation and how does it help people with visible hair loss? Scalp Micropigmentation creates the illusion of hair follicles on the scalp for visible hair loss.

learn Fluocinolone

What type of hair loss is Fluocinolone recommended for, and how does it help inflamed scalps? Fluocinolone is a prescription topical corticosteroid used for inflammatory scalp conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis and scarring alopecias. It calms inflammation rather than growing hair, it is not a treatment for pattern hair loss, and its labelling warns against prolonged use.

learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

What conditions can a hair transplant treat? Clinics say transplants can treat pattern baldness, long-inactive scarring alopecia and thinning; a transplant only moves hair a person still has, so the cause of the loss has to be diagnosed first.
