Hair Restoration Options

Your own natural hair:
Among the many hair restoration options available to men and women, none is more effective than one's own natural hair. Unlike synthetic hair that must be replaced as hair grows, the Arocha Hair Restoration process is permanent and is the most effective permanent solution to hair loss.

Topical over the counter and prescription medications:
Popular over the counter and prescription medications for hair restoration include highly marketed Rogaine® and Propecia®. The effectiveness of these medications varies from one person to the next. They can be effective in slowing or stabilizing the hair loss process and when used in conjunction with hair restoration surgery, can be effective in preventing hair loss.

Hair "Piece" or Toupee:
Synthetic and a natural hair "piece" have several major drawbacks to consider. Aside from looking artificial, they must be anchored to the scalp with snaps or glue. The scalp has a difficult time breathing and, as a result, can cause the scalp to become hot and irritated. The "piece" must be shampooed and styled professionally as surrounding hair grows. Certain sports activities must be curtailed to accomodate the limitations associated with a hair "piece" or toupee.

Hair Extensions:
Hair extensions are the application of human hair to existing individual strands of hair. Providing the patient has enough hair to accomodate the extension process, the effect is temporary and must be repeated as the hair to which the extension is attached grows out. Hair extensions must be dyed to match the patient's existing hair. The hair extension process can take up to 10 hours to complete.

Vitamins:
Currently there is no known vitamin that is effective at restoring hair. Vitamins can be effective in increasing blood flow to hair follicles and keeping the scalp and surrounding skin smooth and healthy.
