RISK: At-Risk Girls Behind The Camera

One of the reasons why I wrote this article is that I noticed that there are many people working behind the camera (especially males) who have thin or receding hairline. Just wondering how it happened. Here is what I found out.

Hair transplantation has slowly grown more and more popular since the 1950’s. This form of treatment has been the most common and most frequent treatment for men and women who experience hair loss. The process involves extracting and implanting individual hair follicles, whether from a strip extracted or directly at the back of the patient’s head, these hair grafts are then implanted painstakingly into the recipient site.

Because there is a relatively large market to serve when it comes to hair restoration treatments such as hair transplantation, many clinics have emerged that cater to patients who wish to end their problems of hair loss, particularly male-pattern-baldness. This is not specific to a particular state, as 66% of men in the United States will experience balding in their lifetime.

Modern day hair transplantation can occur in two-methods: the traditional follicular unit transplantation and the extensive follicular unit extraction. The difference between the two is that follicular unit transplantation requires the need to slice a thin strip of scalp from the donor site before the hair grafts are manually extracted then implanted into the patient’s recipient site.

One of the reasons why hair transplantation has become the preferred method of hair restoration is because it provides immediate gratification to the patient, unlike medication that will eat up months, even years of waiting, all without the guarantee that the same effect of hair transplantation will take place. It is for this reason that many result to undergoing the surgical procedure, as the amount spent for the surgery basically covers all the month’s worth of medication needed for an unsure results.

Men by nature tend to lose their crown, however, women are not an exemption.
