Combating Hair Loss in the UAE
Hair loss can happen to anyone. Both men and women across
the globe at varying ages experience hair loss thanks to factors
like heredity, poor nutrition, illness- and so many other factors being discovered
daily.
While things like heredity, and falling ill, are out of our
control. Maintaining healthy lifestyle and taking care of our tresses is
something that can help many of us from experiencing hair loss.
For some, the regions they live in have actually shown to
incite hair loss. In these situations what can you do other than relocate? Hair
transplants have become the answer in these situations and they are growing in
popularity as the problem continues.
In the UAE for example, the amount of pollution and other
extreme weather common in the Middle
East are leading more men and women to experience hair loss problems.
A recent report
by The National notes that specialist in Dubai are predicting, “about 60
percent of the male population in the UAE is expected to experience some kind
of hair loss in their lifetime.” This is in comparison to the global average
which is about 40 percent.
In an interview with Dr Dimitrios Ziakas of Direct Hair
Implantation at the Al Borj Medical Centre in Business Bay, The National
uncovered that the procedure being offered uses no incisions and just directly
implants single hair follicles into the scalp. What results, is a natural hair
growth again in what was once the problem area - and according to Dimitrios has
a ninety percent success rate.
What’s most interesting from his interview with The National
the Doctor said in the past patients we’re going to the clinic for help when
they were older and had already lost most of their hair - so it was too late.
Now, people have become more educated about their options
and the possibilities with hair
transplants and they are showing up to the office at a much younger age.
