To consult Dr. U visit: br br Hair loss can be frustrating, and the journey to restore what was lost can be daunting. Many begin their journey with topical solutions, such as Minoxidil (Rogaine). These treatments, however, cannot guarantee results for everyone. Minoxidil failed to restore the hair loss of the patient featured in this video, so she approached Dr. U for a hair transplant. She was experiencing hair loss on her temple points, mostly on the left temple, due to traction alopecia. Traction alopecia, or tension hair loss as it is sometimes called, is a condition which results from harsh grooming habits like styling hair into a tight ponytail or wearing a weave. The practice of applying chronic pressure on hair roots permanently damages the follicles, resulting in baldness. br br While this condition was once considered a woman's issue, recent trends in male grooming have resulted cases of traction alopecia in men.

He then carefully inserted the grafts into the recipient area on the patient's left temple. The patient was thrilled with her results.
