New undetectable hair transplants let men banish bald spots without even telling their wives

Read this article we found:

Having a fresh new head of glossy and healthy hair following a hair transplant isn't something you can usually keep quiet about - just ask Wayne Rooney.

However, one clinic has launched a new undetectable hair transplant procedure and has reported an increase in the number of patients keen to keep their implants under wraps. 

Some, they say, are even hiding it from their nearest and dearest.

Hair transplant specialist Dr Kouremada-Zioga, who offers the ‘undetectable’ U-FUE hair transplant technique, says that the vast majority of her patients like to keep their procedure as quiet as possible - and as many as one in 10 even hide it from their wives.

Dr Kouremada-Zioga from The Private Clinic says: 'Until recently, having a hair transplant was not something you could do in secret. 

'An Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure requires the patient to shave their head prior to treatment and the strip surgery leaves a large permanent scar.

'A newly shaved head or a scar on the scalp would of course make it impossible to keep the procedure secret. 

'We have seen some celebrities trying to keep their treatment, quite literally, under their hat until their shaved hair grows back, but the constant wearing of a cap or hat causes questions to be asked too.'

'Developments in treatment methods, and in particular specialist skill sets, now make it possible to perform an FUE procedure without shaving the head before treatment.

'Very few doctors worldwide are able to perform the unshaven FUE procedure because of the levels of skill involved, and I have patients travelling to London from all over the world specifically to receive this form of undetectable hair transplant which is easier for them to keep quiet about.'

She explains that the single hair follicles are extracted with the hair still at its normal length, but then are cut and implanted as just the root.

'Therefore, when a patient leaves the clinic, their hair looks the same as when they entered, apart from some initial redness, which patients can cover up or disguise with their existing hair until it subsides over the next few days,' she adds.

How to cope with hair loss

read this article we found about coping with hair loss:

Losing your hair is perfectly normal - we shed up to 100 hairs a day - but for some women hair loss is much more serious and it's affecting a growing number of women under 40.

The most common type of hair loss can be triggered by life changing events such as moving home, a bereavement or pregnancy, leading to overall thinning of the hair.

According to Elizabeth Steel, founder of the support group Hairline International, the number of women asking for advice about hair loss has doubled over the last ten years. And there is a marked increase in younger women (aged between 18 and 40) who are affected.

If you've noticed gradual thinning or found clumps of hair on the bathroom floor it can come as a shock. But don't panic, most of the time it is a temporary manifestation of your physical or emotional well-being.

Thankfully there is plenty of help available. We find out what causes hair loss, sort out the myths from the facts, and offer advice on treatment.

What causes hair loss?

Hair loss is a skin condition - it is not infectious or contagious. Hair loss can be mild - where subtle thinning occurs - or a more serious disease which involves total loss of scalp and body hair.
The most common causes of hair loss are pregnancy - which stops one to four months after the birth of a baby, poor nutrition, eating disorders, drugs and stress. With most of these, hair loss is temporary and can be helped.

The Chinese herbalist says

Hair loss in women is a result of modern living. Ruth Delman of the Chi Health Centre believes women are experiencing similar stress levels to men - and this is manifesting itself in hair loss.
Ruth also says yo-yo dieting, the contraceptive pill, chemicals in water and modern pesticides in food are also to blame. 

The nutritionist says

If nutrient levels are low it will be expressed through the hair. Hair follicles rooted in the scalp need to be surrounded by a rich supply of blood to ensure they are sufficiently nourished.
'Hair loss represents low mineral status, specifically lack of zinc, selenium, calcium, sodium and potassium,' says Maria Griffiths of the Institute of Optinum Nutrition. 

The dermatolotist says

Faddy diets usually result in iron deficiency, as might avoidance of red meat. Vegetarians or vegans who are low in vitamin B12 and zinc could be prone to hair loss. Research shows thinning hair is also linked to progestogens - the synthetic form of progesterone found in the Pill and Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Myths

Hair loss is inherited from the male parent. Female hair loss causes abnormal menstrual cycle. Hair dye, hair spray and washing hair increases hair loss. Hair loss only happens to women over 50. 

Facts

Both parents genes contribute to hair loss. Menstruation is not affected by hair loss. Hair styling and dying does not cause hair loss. Fifty per cent of women from 18 to 40 will experience hair loss.

How can it be treated?

Every practitioner has their own theories on how to treat hair loss. The success of treatment depends on the individual, but in most women hair grows back with the right remedy.

In rare cases when people suffer from total loss of hair, there is no known treatment. The golden rule is the sooner you notice hair loss, seek advice from your GP who will refer you to a specialist. You may want to support your conventional treatment with complementary medicine.

The Chinese herbalist says

Practioners of traditional Chinese medicine believe acupuncture and acupressure - a Chinese form of massage - stimulates meridians (or energy points) which encourage blood circulation around the hair follicles.
Creams made from Chinese herbs can be applied to the scalp to relieve symptoms of dryness, redness and irriation.
Chinese herbs taken orally and created from tailor-made prescriptions to suit individual patients can also help sufferers. 

The nutritionist says

Eat plenty of zinc from meat and oysters, magnesium found in green leafy vegetables and vitamin C from fresh fruit. A Mediterranean diet full of essential fatty acids - a mixture of minerals and amino acids vital for the formation of keratin, a highly fibrous and resistant protein that makes up nails and hair - is recommended. Drink plenty of water to flush out any build up of toxins in the body's system. 

The dermatologist says

Change your diet. Faddy diets including vegetarianism lacks iron vital for nourishing the hair and scalp. The biggest source of iron is red meat and liver. There are other treatments available for more serious cases which include steroids, drugs and ultraviolet light therapy.
