Good nutrition is the basis for good health–and healthy hair. A well-balanced diet can provide the vitamins and minerals necessary support our body’s machinery and regenerative functions. However, dietary deficiencies–and even some foods–can contribute to hair loss.
Although not fully conclusive, some studies suggest that excessive alcohol consumption may contribute to hair loss.
In some cases, hair loss can be managed with growth-stimulating topical medications such as Minoxidil. Although effective, topical medication will not actually cure hair loss. To maintain the positive results, the medication must be applied to the scalp daily.
To fully restore hair, Dr. Halaas recommends hair transplants. Unlike topical liquids, a hair transplant is a permanent solution. A hair transplant involves removing healthy hair follicles the from a donor site and placing them in a bald area. A specialist in hair restoration, Dr. Halaas performs hair transplants using the most advanced techniques: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Grafting (FUG).
Hair loss can be devastating and frustrating. If your hair is thinning, contact Dr. Halaas at her NYC office. She will help you identify a hair restoration solution that is appropriate for you.
