【Seoul = Newsis】 Reporter Min Ki-hong = Hair loss, which has been constantly annoying people since ancient times, still remains a disease that cannot be treated as there is no other solution other than hair transplantation.

That’s why many hair loss patients are thirsting for new treatments. There is also a survey result showing that they are relying on self-treatment rather than visiting a hospital due to an eager anticipation that there may be some groundbreaking methods other than drug treatment or hair transplantation.

According to recent data, male hair loss patients in Korea visit the hospital after an average of 4.2 self-treatment attempts. This is more than twice as high as in France, meaning that Korean men are more willing to treat than other countries, but have a low preference for the most effective medical treatment.

This phenomenon is also due to the above description that advertises foods or shampoos that are only effective for temporary hair loss due to reasons other than genetic hair loss as if they are effective for all hair loss.

Among the products that have been released to improve symptoms such as stress, temporary diseases of the scalp or troubles of the hair itself, there are cases that mark it as effective for the entire’hair loss’ in a broad sense, so consumers need to be careful.

On the 31st, Kim Jin-oh, director of the NHI New Hair Hair Transplant Center, said, “Many of the hair loss patients who visit the hospital tried to treat them with black beans, herbal medicine, shampoo or other health supplements, but rather than the interest and enthusiasm for treatment, they visited the hospital. The number of times was small,” he said.

Products known to be effective in treating hair loss are finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride. In addition to this, it is helpful to combine dietary therapy or laser magnetic field therapy as an auxiliary, but the effect cannot be expected without drug treatment.

Director Kim added, “You can do low-frequency laser treatment, magnetic field treatment, or more aggressive injection treatment, but drug treatment is essential for hereditary hair loss.”

In men’s genetic hair loss, the’progression of progress’ is more important than the’phenomena’, so it is necessary to know exactly your stage and receive treatment according to it rather than self-treatment.

There are only three options: a wig and a hair transplant, and living in the same state, if the hair loss is seriously progressed due to the missed treatment period.

People who live with wigs due to lack of information about hair transplant surgery are advised to visit a hospital with the wig they are wearing to seek counseling so that wearing a wig does not become an additional hair loss factor. It is better to use the prescription.

When visiting a hospital for hair transplantation or hair loss treatment, it is better to go to a specialized hospital. Rather than looking at online advertisements to choose a hospital, you should go to a hospital with a doctor who has a lot of experience in hair transplantation or hair loss treatment.

Director Kim advised, “It is better to avoid hospitals that visit hospitals for hair loss treatment that recommend unproven expensive laser or drug treatment, or that tell difficult stories about the course and method of treatment,” he advised.
