noreply@blogger.com (Editor) — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:25:00 +0000

Now that Laser therapy has been approved by the FDA as an effective hair loss treatment it looks set to become the treatment of choice. It benefits from having no side effects and visible results after just a few weeks.

Dr. David Kyle sits under a Revage 670 Laser Hair Restoration Therapy system which uses red light to stimulate hair follicles at Inner Beauty Medical Spa.

Today, Kyle is preaching the benefits of laser hair treatments. That's because he gave up his general practice and for about the past six months has run his own business, the Inner Beauty Medical Spa in Tulare.

What he uses for the treatments is the Revage670 laser machine, which he described as the best of the bunch among all the available lasers used to stimulate hair follicles to help them grow hair.

He said 85 percent of patients who use laser hair loss treatment see an increase in hair counts and growth. And there is a 90 percent success rate just to prevent hair loss.

"The patients I'm treating now are very self-conscious about their hair loss," Kyle said. "But, they are very happy with the results; they say their hair feels healthier and thicker and they can tell the treatments are doing something for them."

Hair Transplant Question: Which Technique Gives Better Results

noreply@blogger.com (Editor) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 20:31:00 +0000

There are two different techniques used for transplant surgery one involved using needles the other uses scalpel blades.

The following question was recently posed as to which technique was more effective and gave the best results.

I have noticed that of hair transplant photos posted where needles are used instead of blades to make recipient sites for the transplanted hair, there appears to be MUCH more redness. The redness also seems to last longer post-op. Is this because the needle hair transplant doctor is transplanting hair at greater hair density or does the needle cause more scalp trauma?

Blades versus Needles in Creating Recipient Sites in the Balding Areas in order to Transplant Hair

Our hair transplant clinic has used both needles and blades for many years. In a large number of hair transplant patients, we have used both and see no difference in postoperative healing or redness. When patients come back in for followup when the hair is growing in, there is no difference in the appearance of the hair in blade areas compared to needle areas.

This famous radio program started out from the book of the same name "The Bald Truth" and has become the place to visit to get the latest news and information on the subject of hair loss.

You can listen to the radio show by following a link on the website at the time the show is being broadcast. This works fine with Internet Explorer but I couldn't get it to work with the Firefox browser.
