Androgenetic Alopecia From A to Z: Vol.3 Hair Restoration Surgery, Alternative Treatments, and Hair Care

This third of three related volumes is structured in 3 sections  and 46 chapters covering every aspect of Hair Restoration Surgery  (HRS), alternative and future treatments for AGA/FPHL, as well as hair  loss concealment and hair care. The reader will find dedicated chapters  on every aspect of HRS: from the initial, "prehistoric" HRS techniques  that have cosmetically stigmatized countless patients and defamed the  field to in-depth coverage of all modern HRS techniques endorsing a  "cosmetic revolution". Modern HRS techniques that offer results  indistinguishable from natural hair in male and female patients are  described in detail, with invaluable surgical pearls and strategies on  how to treat complications, repair substandard results and even how to  build a successful HRS practice. Chapters include more than a thousand  original and unique full-color photos of unique cases, figures, tables,  and invaluable surgical tips.

 The safety and  applicability of Low Level Laser Therapy, Genetic Engineering/Gene  Therapy, Stem Cell Therapy, Hair Follicle Cloning, Platelet Rich Plasma,  Scalp Microneedling and Exosomes on AGA/FPHL are thoroughly reviewed in  dedicated chapters, validated by several updated and balanced  literature citations.

All types of cover-up products  that can "camouflage" baldness are reviewed in detail through the  author's vast experience in their clinical use. An elaborate chapter on  hair prosthesis and wigs illustrates how patients with extensive AGA can  have a natural appearance and unrestricted life. The psychological  entrapment, social awkwardness, hidden costs, and downsides of the wig  industry are assessed. Finally, details on hair hygiene and how they can  drastically affect hair loss are offered in a separate chapter. Handy,  thorough, and practical, Androgenetic Alopecia From A to Z, Hair  Restoration Surgery and Alternative Treatments Volume 3 will meet the  needs of dermatologists, plastic surgeons, general practitioners, and  all other physicians involved in this fast growing and fascinating  field.
