Hair Replacement Treatment
Finding the right hair replacement treatment can be a daunting task. There is a wide variety of hair replacement treatment options available, all claiming to successfully provide a hair loss solution. The National Hair Institute offers hair transplant procedures for both men and women. Each transplant procedure and treatment options will ensure your hair loss is a thing of the past.
Hair Replacement Treatment Options
The National Hair Institute offers leading hair replacement treatment options to patients in Australia. Though the National Hair Institute’s head office is in Melbourne, we are able to treat hair loss suffers from overseas. The National Hair Institute provides a wide range of hair replacement treatment to ensure all patients are satisfied with the results.
There are hundreds of pharmaceutical products on the market that can be used by both men and women. Rogaine is one product that both men and women use. Rogaine consists of a 2 or 5% Minoxidil topical solution that can be applied directly to the scalp.
This hair replacement treatment must be applied to dry hair twice each day, which can become too repetitive for some users. The downside of hair replacement treatment such as Rogaine is that it must be continuously used to maintain any benefits. There are also side effects like itching, scaling and irritation of the treated area.
The National Hair Institute also offers a medication that has been in clinical hair loss trails. As it is a prescription medication, we cannot name the medication used but the product has been shown to stop hair loss for 80% of men who take it.
This hair replacement treatment works by reducing a naturally occurring enzyme in the body. The product reduces the DHT in your system and helps to reduce hair loss. There may also be some additional thickening of the hair.
Although this hair replacement treatment has some side effects, The National Hair Institute recommends hair loss sufferers use this product in the early stages of hair loss. This product can also be used in conjunction with hair transplant procedures to stop further loss of the non-transplanted hair.
Wigs and hairpieces offer a temporary solution to hair loss. Although a simple solution, wigs and hairpieces are not always the best hair replacement treatment for hair loss suffers. These pieces are made from human or synthetic hair and can cost thousands of dollars. The disadvantage of this hair replacement treatment is that they need to be re-attached each month which can be a costly exercise.
There are hundreds of hair lotions in the marketplace, all claiming to combat hair loss. Poor circulation, oil and dandruff are not the causes of hair loss; therefore using lotion hair replacement treatment will not stop or reverse the effects. While some lotions for hair loss work to improve the appearance of your hair, they will do nothing to prevent hair loss or assist in hair re-growth.
Shampoos, lotions and expensive solutions are marketed to hair loss suffers making claims that cannot be substantiated. Hair replacement treatment such as lotions cannot provide a solution to hair loss and should not be used for a permanent answer.
The National Hair Institute believes hair loss suffers should only consider using products that can prove their claims in a clinical trial. If their claims cannot be substantiated in a clinical trial, then more than likely it is not going to assist with hair loss.
Cosmetic Hair Replacement Treatment
There are a number of cosmetic concealers available in the marketplace; Toppik and Couvre are two that work to provide the appearance of a full head of hair. Both products work to reduce the appearance of hair loss rather than help to stop hair loss in the future.
Toppik works to adhere to the areas of thinning hair. The National Hair Institute recommends this product to patients after hair transplant procedures as it is simple to apply and does not stain the scalp.
Couvre works to reduce the contrast between hair and skin colour. This scalp colourant reduces the appearance of hair loss via simple implementations.
Scalp reductions are a hair replacement treatment that reduces the area of balding skin. This is usually performed to reduce the area from the top or back of the head. An area of skin is removed and the gap is then closed, dramatically reducing the visibility of the balding scalp.
The National Hair Institute does not recommend these procedures, nor do we perform them in our Australian clinics. There is a number of safe and permanent hair replacement treatments available, the most successful listed below.

The National Hair Institute Hair Transplantation
The National Hair Institute offers hair replacement treatment for hair loss suffers. The two successful procedures provided are Follicular Unit Grafting (FUG) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). Both hair transplant options are performed to the highest standard and are guaranteed to provide a permanent hair loss solution.
Follicular Unit Grafting abides by the principle that hair doesn’t grow individually, but grows naturally in clusters of up to 4 hairs. The clusters are known as follicular units and these are gathered through microscopic dissection of tissue that is harvested in a single strip.
Follicular Unit Extraction is the technique of extracting individual grafts from the scalp. This is a relatively new technique and has been regarded as a successful procedure for a number of patients. Both FUG and FUE hair transplant procedures offer a permanent answer for hair loss.
