How to Regrow Hair on a Bald Spot

Bald spots can be a great cause of concern for men and for women. There are, however, oftentimes reasons for them, and ways that we can treat them.

 

Causes of bald spots

There are lots of different reasons that you might notice a patch of your hair falling out, causing a bald spot. However, most of these causes are treatable. If you notice your hair falling out at a much quicker rate than usual, and you start to notice a bald spot beginning to appear, you should see a doctor or a dermatologist in order understand whether or not it is due to aging and genetics, or if the balding is caused by an underlying condition.

 

Cause 1: Aging/Genetics

Commonly, when men reach about 40 years of age, they may begin to experience hair loss and some balding, resulting in a bald spot. In order to reduce hair loss, hair supplements like those created at KeraHealth can be effective.

 

Cause 2: Skin Conditions

Skin conditions are another fairly common cause of hair loss. Conditions like eczema and psoriasis can cause the skin to become very dry and itchy, and can cause hair loss in circular patches.

 

Cause 3: Medication

Certain forms of medication, like chemotherapy, anticoagulant medications, and anti-hypersensitive medications, can all cause hair to fall out in chunks, causing bald patches. Oftentimes, once you stop taking the medication your hair will begin to regrow.

Surgical options to regrow hair on bald spots

For a lot of people, the most permanent solution to the regrowth of hair on bald spots are having hair transplants. This surgical option ensures that your hair remains thick and healthy and completely regrows over a bald spot.

 

Hair transplants

Hair transplants are the most common surgical solution to hair loss and balding. A hair transplant is a natural, permanent solution to balding. There are two methods of hair transplant, the FUT method and the FUE method.

 

The FUT method

FUT stands for Follicular Unit Transplantation. During an FUT surgery, a surgeon cuts a strip of skin form the back of the patients head and from this, they extract the individual hair follicles and reimplant them into the area that is balding. It provides a permanent solution to balding, and it is cheaper than an FUE surgery.

 

Laser therapy

Laser therapy is another common treatment for stimulating the regrowth of hair follicles in areas of baldness.

 

Low-Level Laser therapy

Low-level laser therapy irradiate photons into scalp tissues, which are absorbed by weaker cells to encourage their growth. This is less invasive and painful than hair transplant surgery, and is known to be effective.

 

Coping with bald spots

Coping with bald spots can definitely be challenging, however, there are definitely ways to cope with them.

 

Styling methods

There are multiple different styling methods you can use in an attempt to cover up a bald spot that you may have. If you are suffering from a bald spot on the crown of your head, a well-executed up-do can make all of the difference. Another option could be to add a fringe or change your centre part to a side parting in order to help deal with a balding area.

 

Dermatologist consultation

If you are noticing balding or certain areas of your hair balding, you should definitely go and speak to a dermatologist to find the cause of it.

 

Physical and mental wellness

Balding can be an indication that something is wrong with your physical wellbeing, and it can also take a toll on your mental wellbeing.
