Latisse is the first FDA approved eye­lash pre­scrip­tion that gives you longer, fuller, and darker lashes.

What is the mech­a­nism that pro­duce the affect?

The pre­cise mech­a­nism of action is unknown, although it is found that the­ses mech­a­nism are thought to be involved in the devel­op­ment of regrowth — Bimato­prost which is the active phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal ingre­di­ent in the for­mu­la­tion of Latisse and is a struc­tural prostaglandin ana­log, a lipid com­pound derived from fatty acids designed to bind to Prostaglandin recep­tors (PG) recep­tors. PG recep­tors are present in hair, espe­cially in the outer root sheath and der­mal papilla. PG recep­tors are thought to be involved in the devel­op­ment and regrowth of the hair fol­li­cle by increas­ing the per­cent of hairs in, and the dura­tion of, the growth phase.

Demodex Fol­li­clorm are a species of mites, it has also been called “face mite”. Demodex Fol­li­clorm varies in size from .1mm to .4mm long, it lives in your pores and hair fol­li­cles, typ­i­cally on your scalp, nose, eye­brows and often in the roots of your eye­lashes. Demod­i­cides are very worm like with tiny claws and scales all over its body, this make it eas­ier for it to anchor itself in the hair fol­li­cle. Female demod­i­cides can lay up to 25 eggs in a sin­gle fol­li­cle, and as the mites grow, they become tightly packed. When the mites mature they leave the fol­li­cle to mate and lay more eggs. Mites have a daily rou­tine so to say, dur­ing the day they remain feed­ing within the fol­li­cle. At night, they emerge onto the sur­face to mate, and eggs are laid into fol­li­cles so that the newly hatched mites may feed on the oily secre­tions of the scalp known as sebum.

Almost every human being holds the Demodex mite to some degree; peo­ple that are los­ing their hair carry a sub­stan­tially large amount of the mites in their fol­li­cles. So if the pres­ence of the mite is so uncon­trolled in everyone�s fol­li­cles, wouldn’t every­one be suf­fer­ing from hair loss? The most preva­lent expla­na­tion is that some of us are unfor­tu­nate and carry a gene that may cause an immune response that is not nec­es­sar­ily con­sis­tent across all those who are affected with the mite. An inflam­ma­tory reac­tion on the scalp is an effect the mite has on these peo­ple, and when this occurs the hair fol­li­cle is killed. The sec­ond most com­mon rea­son­ing is that level of infes­ta­tion tak­ing place is so immense the hair fol­li­cle even­tu­ally begins to suf­fer. The mite like explained ear­lier feeds off the sebum; this causes the fol­li­cle to become pro­gres­sively under­nour­ished caus­ing the hair fol­li­cle to even­tu­ally fall out.

Many early hair trans­plant tech­niques used large grafts; this old tech­nique caused “plugs” which are not aes­thet­i­cally accept­able by today’s stan­dard. It is no longer nec­es­sary to be stuck with the dis­sat­is­fac­tion and embar­rass­ment of plugs.  By trans­plant­ing ultra micro grafts we are enable to alter the unnat­ural look of old tech­nique.  Also, in some cases we are able to remove those old plugs and trim them to mini and micro grafts and re-transplant them. In most cases, our patients receive dra­matic improve­ment with his revi­sion tech­niques. There­fore patients can expect the finest avail­able work so that future revi­sion work is greatly minimized.

Aes­thetic tal­ent is vital in a hair trans­plant sur­geon. It is impor­tant to under­stand the con­cept of design and how best to make the hair­line (the frontal line on the upper fore­head) as nat­ural as pos­si­ble. A truly well designed, aes­thetic hair­line is cre­ated with one fol­lic­u­lar graft at a time on the hair­line. This area of the head is called the “hair­line zone” and it cov­ers about 1.5 cm at the front, it is the most appar­ent part of the head thus mak­ing it the most impor­tant to appear nat­ural. The grafts that are being place as the front hair line are stag­gered in a pat­tern that will appear com­pletely nat­ural as it grows.  The hair is placed with spe­cial atten­tion and detail as well; this is done so that when the hair grows it will lay in such a man­ner that it flows smoothly along this line.

Eye­brow restora­tion is cer­tainly a viable option for women suf­fer­ing from the self-consciousness asso­ci­ated with per­ma­nent eye­brow hair loss. Using sin­gle fol­li­cle graft­ing tech­niques, Dr. Kahen can put lit­er­ally hun­dreds of new fol­li­cles into each brow in a sin­gle ses­sion, per­ma­nently. Using single-hair grafts will give the flex­i­bil­ity for inser­tion into the tiny punc­ture, along with per­mit­ting metic­u­lous adher­ence to the eye­brow con­tour for a nat­ural appear­ance. In most cases the only post oper­a­tive main­te­nance needed is occa­sional trim­ming.

Fol­lic­u­lar Evo­lu­tion– from Big grafts to micro grafts. It has reformed from “the plug” to “mini Micro grafts”  Smaller Blades inci­sions and grafts. Micro sur­gi­cal blades are even smaller today then the size of hair grafts. This enables us to make even smaller (tiny) graft inci­sions uti­liz­ing coro­nal slits.

Dense Pack– 40 to 60 fol­lic­u­lar unit grafts per square cen­time­ter. This Graft den­sity is as much as twice that of the stan­dard fol­lic­u­lar unit hair trans­plant pro­ce­dure. The High den­sity of trans­plant hair pro­duces only one sur­gi­cal ses­sion. Also there are no vis­i­ble signs of sur­gi­cal inci­sion due to how tiny the inci­sions are. The heal­ing expe­ri­ence is rapid. The Trans­plant hair growth is so nat­ural that it is unde­tectable even under close scrutiny.

What’s laser hair growth therapy?

Hair­Max Laser Comb is a break­through laser pho­tother­apy device designed for the gen­eral pub­lic. �Laser light ther­apy, also called pho­tother­apy in the sci­en­tific com­mu­nity. �The way it works is a process by which laser energy is deliv­ered to the hair fol­li­cle. While the exact mech­a­nism of action is unknown, it is hypoth­e­sized that the laser Photo Ther­apy stim­u­lates growth fac­tors within the hair follicle.

Patients that have had hair restora­tion should use the Hair­max comb, to help the grafts grow faster. The Hair­Max effec­tively tar­gets the hair fol­li­cle at the cel­lu­lar level and in some way both speeds up the hair growth process while at the same time induc­ing the growth of a thicker(or ter­mi­nal) hair where a thin dying hair may have been in place previously.

Accord­ing to the online� Med­ical Libary, 25% of men show signs of bald­ness by age 30 and two thirds by age 60. Hair Loss affects toughly 40 % of men thats why men are start­ing to take action with hair­trans­plan­taion when there is even a slight sign of bald­ing.� The most dra­matic area to lose hair is the frontal area (hair line). This tends to cause a man to look bald even with only a slight loss of hair. The num­ber of young men start­ing treat­ment with prope­cia and hair restora­tion is increas­ing. It is com­mon for men with min­i­mal hair loss to seek a sur­gi­cal hair trans­plant. Most men with frontal hair loss are excel­lent can­di­dates for fol­lic­u­lar hair transplants.

For most men with male pat­tern bald­ness, frontal hair loss is the most com­mon. This is char­ac­ter­ized by a front to back pro­gres­sion of hair loss. For most men there is gen­er­ally more lim­ited hair loss in the�crown, even with advanced hair loss, the hair loss moves back until with many it causes bald­ness from the front to the crown, leav­ing the sides and back of the head pro­duc­ing a fair amount of hair. Direc­tion of hair growth enables cov­er­age of the area imme­di­ately in front of it and to the side to give the most nat­ural appearance.

Most bald­ing men tend to have hair on the sides and back of the head. It is here where the hair is extracted from the scalp for the hair trans­plant. It is called Donor Dom­i­nance. In the hair trans­plant process hair is taken from the donor area and trans­ferred to the bald­ing area. It is essen­tial that a patient have an accept­able amount of hair in the donor region to fill the bald areas. A strip is har­vested from the donor area, and then each fol­li­cle is inserted into the sites that are made to cre­ate the new hair line. In just three to four months the trans­planted hair will start to sprout.

Peo­ple with Tri­chotil­lo­ma­nia pull hair out at the root from places like the scalp, eye­brows, eye­lashes or pubic area. There are cases that are so�severe which leave these peo­ple with bald patches on the scalp or eye­brows. It may be hard to under­stand why some­one would pull their own hair or eye­lashes out-or why they wouldn�t just stop. But tri­chotil­lo­ma­nia isn�t just an ordi­nary habit that a per­son can eas­ily stop. It�s a med­ical condition.

It is very much like a com­pul­sive dis­or­der (OCD) . This means that peo­ple with the con­di­tion feel an over­whelm­ing urge to pull their hair. Peo­ple with tri­chotil­lo­ma­nia also may have other com­pul­sive habits, such as nail bit­ing or skin pick­ing. Some peo­ple with tri­chotil­lo­ma­nia also have prob­lems like depres­sion, anx­i­ety, or obsessive-compulsive dis­or­der. Com­pul­sive behav­iors like tri­chotil­l­lo­ma­nia can some­times run in families.

Peo­ple with ��tri­chotil­l­lo­ma­nia have a seri­ous med­ical con­di­tion. Over­com­ing hair pulling urges may involve talk ther­apy, med­ica­tion, or com­bi­na­tion of both. The per­son learns ways to resist the urge so that it even­tu­ally grows weaker and then goes away. A ther­a­pist can also help�a per­son regain con­fi­dence and self-esteem.
