How come hair serum or medication for hair doesn’t work?

Did you know that more than 70% male and more than 30% of female have the issue of hair loss and alopecia? It won’t be so unusual if you are one of them too.

These issues can be seen in elderly people as well as in young adults. The popular solution might be to purchase hair serum or medication to apply or take right? But somehow these products don’t always work, furthermore, some people lose even more hair or grow more hair in the unwanted area but the bald area is still bald. Have you ever wondered why?

That is because the method does not target the root of the problem. First, we have to understand the cause of hair loss. 90% of hair loss is caused by genetics and hormones. The way to treat this problem can start by getting professional advice from the doctor for a suitable treatment. The drug that is normally prescribed by the doctor targets DHT hormone. The medicine will stop hair loss and make thin hair thicker. Unfortunately, this will not generate new hair if there are no hair follicles in that area.

Now you know that serums and medicine will not work if there are no hair follicles in the bald area as it only nurtures existing hair follicle to produce more quality hair. The only way to get hair follicle in the bald area is to have hair transplantation. FUE is a technique that has been accepted worldwide. Hairtran Clinic does provide this technique for people that are interested in hair transplantation (read more in the Hair Transplantation blog). This procedure will be done by our doctor, result in minimal scars and way less painful than FUT technique which is a traditional technique. No more worries about the scars and recovery time.
