Science is revolutionizing every sphere of life today. There are numerous hair loss treatments out there now that help with hair loss and balding. What is even more interesting is that it is entirely possible that by 2020 hair loss would be curable. It is not merely conjecture but substantiated by many research breakthroughs. Here are some innovative advancements in the medical world that deal with hair loss and balding: - Stem cells are being constantly studied to find treatment for a multitude of ailments. Curing hair loss would be one of its minor applications. New hair follicles are being grown in the lab which are then planted in the scalp. This allows follicles to naturally grow hair. -Another treatment by the name of Vampire Cure is massively gaining popularity among hair loss patients. In this procedure, the blood plasma of the patient is injected into his scalp and hence the name. Plasma contains many growth factors and the method is completely un-surgical. - Another method known as Biomimetic Mesotherapy is also coming to the mainstream. If the reason behind hair-weakness and hair-loss is the absence of certain minerals and vitamins, then they are directly injected into scalp. This method could be a little expensive but still holds great promise for the future. - Hair Splitting Complex (HMC) is a product which has been developed by Histogen. It is prepared by neotonal cells grown under simulated embryonic conditions. After only two clinical trials, terminal hair count and hair thickness has been seen to improve in just 12 weeks. This product has great future potential. - Moreover, Hair transplantation is another, more invasive way to cure hair loss. According to The Hair Transplant Hub there were nearly 400,000 hair transplant procedures in 2014. When it was first introduced, hair transplants, or hair grafts as they are also known, simply took some 12 to 20 hairs and surgically implant them into the scalp. The results varied but now thanks to new technology, this procedure gives it a more natural look and feel. - Scalp reductions are another, less-utilized form of preventing/curing hair loss. This is performed by reducing the size of the scalp in order to make a smaller area in which to transplant hair. - Another, equally infavorable procedure is one where a flap of the scalp that holds hair is partially removed and moved to attach to the frontal portion of the scalp to give the illusion of a fuller head of hair. However, this procedure is rather dangerous as it can lead to complications later on. - Drugs and shampoos containing minoxidil have also become rather popular over the years. This ingredient, although it is not known exactly how it works, has proven to be rather affective in stimulating hair growth in people who have begun to experience hair loss. It will not completely regrow a full head of hair, but it will slow down new hair loss and stimulate some regrowth. While many people have had success with this treatment, it is still arguable as to how well and successful it really is. Results are varying in different people, as different people react in different ways. - DNA testing is also making major breakthroughs in science. While it cannot cure hair loss, it will give a clear sense of the problem. Different strains of hair-loss will become identifiable and help individuals to plan in advance if they would likely fall prey to hair loss. By being aware of the problem ahead of time, it can make it easier to treat. Science is moving forward by leaps and bounds and is projected to achieve much by 2020. Many ground-breaking treatments for hair loss have already emerged while more are being developed every day. In 2020, hopefully, hair loss patients would have more advanced and have the perfect hairstyles they desire.
