Scalp Hair Tattoo (Micropigmentation) – a New Solution to Male Hair Loss
Are you upset about going bald? You’re not alone. Apparently losing their hair upsets men more than bankruptcy or remaining single in their later lives. But don’t worry, because a new company has just the thing to save you from complete embarrassment.
Recent research has revealed that facing baldness can in fact be more disturbing than facing a life threatening illness, losing a loved one, becoming unemployed, or missing out on the love and affection of your life. As a result, many men can suffer an increasing loss of confidence as balding progresses.
With the intent of tackling the situation to good effect, HIS (Hair-Ink-Skin) Hair has come up with a fairly revolutionary and innovative technique to camouflage baldness, an ultra-unique kind of tattoos.
HIS Hair is a ‘hair’ salon with a difference. Rather than offering you a wig or a comb over, it uses a new technique to disguise baldness – it tattoos hair onto your head. Yes, seriously.
It gives the appearance of a short, cropped ‘buzz’ hair - cut by applying different shades of specifically blended pigments to the scalp to replicate the size, shape and density of micro hairs.
Micropigmentation – New Innovative Hair Loss Remedy
MHT is a specialist form of scalp micro-pigmentation (scalp tattooing). The MHT technique utilizes a range of specifically blended pigments, which when applied to the scalp provide a consistent replication of the size, shape and density of real hair follicles. Founded in the UK , MHT scalp pigmentation effectively gives the appearance of a short, cropped, ‘buzz’ hair cut similar to the style sported by Hollywood star Vin Diesel.
HIS Hair the pioneers of an innovative hair loss treatment for male pattern baldness, alopecia, receding hair lines, hair transplant scar camouflage, increased hair density and concealing balding are now offering their unique treatment in the US.
Following the huge demand for pioneering Micro Hair Technique (MHT) scalp pigmentation, HIS Hair has opened two new clinics in Los Angeles and New York City. HIS Hair’s stylish procedure has been developed to replicate the natural appearance of ‘real looking’ hair and help to restore any lost confidence.
Does Nioxin prevent Hair Thinning or Hair Loss from Male Pattern Balding?
Whether you are male or female, if you have experienced thinning hair for whatever reason, you would at some point have heard of an alleged hair loss cure-all generally known as "Nioxin".
Nioxin and its shampoo based products is however not a medically recognised treatment for any form of hair loss, including Male Pattern Balding.
As of this writing, there are only three FDA approved treatments for Male Pattern Baldness, being (i) Minoxidil (commonly known as Rogaine), Finasteride (commonly known as Propecia), and Low Level Laser Therapy. All these treatments have been approved because they have been verified as having some effect (on most, but not all men) in reducing or halting the pace of Male Pattern hair loss, however they are not approved for hair regrowth, although some minimal regrowth has been observed with all three treatments.
Going Bald at 22: In Search of a Cure
I'm thinning. Such a dramatic realisation hit me like a cold shower in December: unwelcome and harsh. It's the painful ill fortune of such calamity, a stark and unforgiving tale of life.
Why me? I question, as I awaken hunched under the falling water that is my life, why must someone so young endure such hardship?
It saw me through my teenage years: a canvas of expression. Atop my sullen teenage face, tired and loathing, was a dark mop of mouldable wonder - I used to spend hours straightening it, waxing it, sculpting it, caressing it. Now, I cannot: my hair is slowly diminishing.
At the tender age of 22, I am the cold recipient of 'male pattern baldness', and I'm far, far too young to have to deal with a hairless life, too young to accept or acknowledge the suitably stereotyped 30-plus catastrophe.
Scouring the web for information on how to stop this disastrous loss has proven to be a burden - and a horrible way to spend an evening. Typing 'baldness prevention' into Google did not provide good news.
New study links Protein Consumption with rate of Baldness
A fresh study on baldness unveils that protein shakes might cause loss of scalp hair.
An Australian study conducted by renowned hair transplant surgeon Jennifer Martinick claims that protein shakes – widely used as a health supplement and weight loss aid – might lead to or exacerbate balding by building up particular chemicals in the body.
"As today’s young people are too preoccupied with their looks and body image, they often use protein shakes to tone up their physique, not realising that it might trigger hair loss", the surgeon says, indicating that diet might be an overlooked area when people talk about hair loss treatment. Experiencing hair loss as early as in 20s or 30s might be attributed to unhealthy dietary habits, she adds.
New baldness treatment a step closer after scientists inspired by animals’ winter coats
Researchers are on the verge of creating a new form of baldness treatment, after studying the way animals both grow and shed their winter coats.
It could provide relief to half of all men who are completely bald by the time they reach 50, as well as tens of thousands of women who suffer thinning hair after the menopause.
Hair growth is triggered in animals both by hormones in the skin layer known as the dermis as well as signals from elsewhere in the body.
These signals vary with the seasons, which is why animals can grow thicker fur in the colder months.
