Losing Confidence Over Hair Loss?

Surgery, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Are you noticing more hair than usual on your brush or seeing strands all over your clothes and furniture? Shedding 50 to 100 hairs a day is common and usually unnoticeable but if you feel hair loss is becoming part of your life it may be time to schedule an appointment with Dr. Barusco with Tempus Hair Restoration.

Hair loss generally occurs due to heredity, changes in hormones, medical conditions and some types of medication. Stress can also be a huge factor in hair loss. The most common reason is a family history which is called male/female-pattern baldness. The loss usually happens gradually and in patterns that are predictable. Heredity also affects the age at which you begin to loss hair. Men typically begin as early as puberty and women notice more loss in the later years when there are hormonal changes occurring. Alopecia areata, scalp infections, skin disorders, emotional distress and hair treatments can also cause hair loss.

Most people desire beautiful hair throughout all phases of life. Many feel a lack of confidence when hair loss occurs. Know that there are many natural options as well as medical therapy and restoration procedures now available for men and women of all ages and backgrounds.

We recently came across an interesting article from The Times of India that suggests the following natural tips to prevent hair loss. Have you ever tried any of them and seen results?

As always, Dr. Barusco offers a complimentary consultation at one of his 12 locations statewide. During the hour consultation he will be able to diagnose your needs and make the proper suggestions for treatment!

1. Hot oil massage
Heat some oil (preferably coconut oil or almond oil) and slowly massage your scalp using your fingertips. It increases flow of the blood to the hair follicles, enhances the strength of the roots of your hair and conditions your scalp.

2. Onion juice
Due to its high sulfur content, onion juice helps treat hair loss and enhance the circulation of blood to the hair follicles, revive hair follicles and reduce inflammation. The presence of anti-bacterial properties in onion juice helps kill the germs that cause scalp infection which may lead to hair loss.

3. Beetroot juice
This is one example of the saying ‘Solution to almost all body related problems can be found in the kitchen’. Beetroot helps you to complete your nutritional deficiency that causes the hair fall. So include it in your diet and fight this evil problem.

4. Green tea
Green tea revitalizes hair follicles and stimulates hair production. It also enhances your metabolism which ultimately leads to increased rate of hair growth. Just condition your hair with green tea solution and notice the change!

5. Meditate
Stress! This 6 letter word is the root cause of a lot of problems that come our way. One of the major problems is hair loss! Include meditation in your daily routine and get rid of this irritant.

6. Indian Gooseberry (Amla)
What’s better to treat hair related issues than Amla? One of the major reasons for hair loss is the deficiency of Vitamin C and Amla being a rich source of it, there’s no better way to replenish it back in our system!

7. Natural hair mask
Hair masks are a mix of various ingredients good for hair but they need not always be chemical based! Make hair masks at home using natural ingredients such as banana, coconut oil, olive oil and honey and control hair loss to a great level!

8. Neem Leaves
Neem, known for its medicinal properties is an effective herb to treat hair loss. Boil and grind neem leaves to a paste and apply it to your scalp after shampooing your hair. Wash it off after 30 minutes. Repeat the process twice in a week and notice the change!

9. Aloe vera
Aloe vera contains enzymes that directly promote healthy hair growth. Applying Aloe vera juice or gel on your scalp along with having one teaspoon of aloe vera on an empty stomach can induce healthy hair growth.

10. Egg white and curd paste
It may sound the grossest trick out of the lot, but egg white and curd are known to be preventers of hair loss. Take egg white of two eggs in a bowl and add two tablespoons of fresh curd or yoghurt to the egg white. You can mix this with neem powder and apply.

From the initial consult to post-treatment follow-up, nobody can match our personalized approach and attention to detail. From the first phone call to Tempus Hair Restoration you will be greeted warmly by our amazing administrator, Jessica or one of our longtime employees. Most employees have worked with Dr. Barusco for over 10 years! After identifying what location is closest to you (we have 12 statewide), we will set up your one-on-one complimentary consultation with Dr. Barusco, a.k.a. “Dr. B”. This usually takes 45 minutes to an hour depending on your questions. Due to our surgery schedule some appointments will be done via Skype. Rest assured that Dr. B has an experienced keen eye for viewing the donor area and easily identifies what procedure would be best for you.

During the consult you will meet with one of our passionate Patient Educators who will go over anatomy of hair follicles, practices of the past, genetic male/female pattern baldness and each of the various procedures and medical therapy options that Dr. B performs or prescribes.

Then Dr. B will join you and look closely at your hair. He will discuss your medical history and go over your genetics. He offers his recommendations based on your desires, your age, facial structure and what he feels will give you the best outcome! In some cases, he will prescribe medications that may help with hair loss.

The Patient Educator will then will review what your investment/payment plan options are to gain the natural results you may desire. Dr. B performs one procedure a day so our schedule books up quickly. We will go over available dates with you then. We will follow up with you as you desire from there! Painless appointment with tons of great education on hair restoration options!

Book yours today! It’s worth an hour to learn more! And then of course from there, we would love you to send others our way. Educating our patients on the most cutting-edge options that are best for them is one of our practice priorities.

An increasing number of unlicensed personnel worldwide are performing substantial medical aspects of hair restoration surgery and, in doing so, are putting patients at risk. ISHRS is committed to the highest standards of medical practice, and to educating consumers about this unlawful practice. The ISHRS encourages consumers to follow due diligence when researching a hair restoration surgeon.

ISHRS Position Statement on Qualifications for Scalp Surgery
The position of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery is that any procedure involving a skin incision for the purpose of tissue removal from the scalp or body, or to prepare the scalp or body to receive tissue, (e.g., incising the FUE graft, excising the donor strip, creating recipient sites) by any means, including robotics, is a surgical procedure. Such procedures must be performed by a properly trained and licensed physician (or in countries where it is allowed, a licensed allied health professional practicing within the scope of his or her license).
