About Treatment Methods at a Gangnam Hair Loss Hospital

When the scalp becomes visible in places where hair should be, or when there is a shortage in the number of hairs, people generally refer to it as hair loss. Since it is in a spot that is immediately visible to others, having less hair can negatively affect your style.

According to the National Interest Disease Statistics released by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, the number of people in Korea suffering from this symptom was counted at 234,780 as of last year. This figure reflects those who visited related institutions and received procedures. In reality, if we include everyone who actually has the condition, those who have not visited a medical institution, and those who do not realize they have symptoms, the number is estimated to be around 10 million. It is a condition that occurs commonly around us, and the market size of products for care is also continuing to grow to around 4 trillion won.

So patients who realize that there is a problem look for specific measures, such as visiting a Gangnam hair loss hospital for treatment or trying self-care methods.

There are many causes of natural hair loss. Among the common and widely known types, male pattern hair loss can be said to have a strong hereditary factor. If not only immediate family members but also relatives have experienced the condition above, there is a high possibility that it will appear through inheritance, but depending on the case, it can also occur only in oneself even if no one around you has it.

Hormones play an important role in this. DHT, which is produced as testosterone changes, exists around the hair roots. This substance reduces the time it takes for natural hair to be produced and causes it to shrink.

Because even thick hair cannot grow properly, lacks strength on its own, becomes thinner, and goes through the process of falling out easily, the condition worsens. Before that happens, you should visit a Gangnam hair loss hospital, check what improvement options are available, and receive appropriate care.

Then, if you want to diagnose it yourself, what methods are there? One well-known method is to count the number of natural hairs that have fallen out. When you wake up in the morning or wash in the bathroom, if the number of hairs falling to the floor is far beyond 100, which is considered a normal amount of shedding, you should check whether you may have symptoms.

Because there can be differences depending on the number and condition of the hair each person has, it is better to check over at least 3 days rather than just a short period and judge based on the average.

However, if you do not have enough time and it is difficult to figure it out by counting one thing after another, compare yourself with the diagnostic items below for reference. If 5 or more apply to you, please visit a Gangnam hair loss hospital and look into the proper treatment method.

Self-test

[1] Your hair lacks strength and becomes thinner.

[2] It seems that dandruff has suddenly increased compared to before.

[2] Your scalp is often itchy and you feel that sebum has increased.

[3] Hair on other parts of your body has become thicker.

[3] When you touch hairs that have fallen out, they feel quite thin.

[4] When you check the number of natural hairs that fell out that day, it is over 100.

[5] When you check the crown area, the scalp is visible.

[6] When you press on your head, it does not hurt much, but you do feel pain.

[7] Overall, the thickness of the hair in the front differs greatly from that in the back.

[8] Over time, your forehead seems to be getting wider.

A common treatment method is taking medication. You take a drug approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, and you can expect effects that suppress the substances that cause the condition and help natural hair grow. In addition, topical forms applied to the skin may show effects in the early stages, but depending on the case, if the condition has already spread to some extent, deciding on an oral form under the guidance of medical staff may also be one alternative.

That said, even if you take this medication, it is difficult for its effects to appear in a short time. Since it takes about two months for hair to grow from the follicle, although this varies from person to person, it is better to take it consistently within the period suited to you. In addition, if you combine it with other procedures, you can expect a better prognosis.

If it has worsened to the point that improvement is not possible with the methods above, it will be hard to obtain noticeable results with other options, so you need to consider transplantation as a treatment method.

This process involves obtaining healthy and strong follicles from the permanent area at the back of your head and transplanting them to the needed area. This method is divided into two types: excision and non-excision. The former refers to surgically cutting out and obtaining the area during collection, while the latter refers to a technique that does not cut the scalp and uses a device called a punch with an inner diameter of 0.8 to 1.2 mm to collect good tissue one by one.

Each procedure has its pros and cons, but it is not that one is better or worse; rather, it is a difference in collection technique. So it is better to visit a Gangnam hair loss hospital and receive the appropriate method according to your condition.

If the procedure has already been done and you do not like the design or a problem occurs, it is difficult to return to the previous state, so it is best to receive it from a Gangnam hair loss hospital that is skilled from the start.

Please check whether there is a medical team with abundant experience, know-how, and skill; whether they provide thorough follow-up care afterward; and whether they have a guarantee program so that you can trust them. Then visit the hospital, confirm the direction suited to your symptoms, and find specific measures to receive. Please note that this is important in creating the style you want.
