When it comes to treating hair loss, what does it mean to be minimally invasive? According to the American Institute for Minimally Invasive Survery (AIMIS), minimally invasive procedures are generally characterized by small incisions, fewer stitches, and a faster overall recovery (i). Most modern hair loss treatments fall into this category, giving hair loss sufferers a variety of restoration options known to deliver natural looking results. And for those who demand the most comfortable solution with virtually no disruption to everyday life, special non-invasive hair loss treatments are also available. These non-invasive hair restoration procedures are characterized by the absence of incisions into tissue, like the skin (ii). Hair loss professionals may recommend either minimally invasive or non-invasive procedures to treat various types of hair loss, including:
- Androgenetic Alopecia (pattern baldness)
- Telogen Effluvium (stress related hair loss)
- Hormonally Induced Hair Loss (DHT, PCOS, & hypothyroidism, among others)
