Hair Loss Treatments
Hair loss treatments account for two billion dollars in sales a year. Minoxidil (Rogaine) and Finasteride (Propecia) are popular chemical treatments, and often help those with thinning hair or partial hair loss by both encouraging resting hairs to emerge and increasing the diameter of other hairs. Other hair loss treatments include Corticosteriods, Drithocreme, or in some cases, surgical hair restoration.
Once understood, hair loss can be treated, and in some cases, prevented. While lifestyle changes can help reduce hair loss for those who are thinning due to poor diet, stress, or medications, medical treatments often become necessary for those who have a genetic predisposition to hair loss.
Hair Loss Solutions and Hair Loss Prevention
To determine how best to treat hair loss, hair restoration specialists need to know quantitatively how a client is losing hair; and while it is impractical to count each hair by hand, knowing the amount of hair a person has can in determining suitable hair loss solutions. Dr. Bernie Cohen, a renowned Miami hair restoration surgeon and dermatologist, has found a way to measure hair loss. As he says, "If it can't be measured, it can't be managed." Using his patented Quantimeter, hair restoration specialists can measure quantitatively the percentage of their client's hair loss in any region of the scalp. The Trichometer measures and compares the back of the scalp (where there is no hair loss) to the top and front (where hair loss is common). This measurement results in a percentage value that effectively shows how much hair loss different areas of the scalp have experienced.

While hair loss prevention may be impossible for some, it is treatable. Early detection increases a treatment's potential for success, but since early hair loss is so hard to detect, the challenge has been to catch it before it shows itself to the world. Dr. Cohen's device, the Quantimeter, serves to aid in early detection by revealing as little as a 5% amount of hair loss in any area of the scalp.
