One of the more common consequences of using steroids is the eventual occurrence of losing one’s hair and the need for the restoration of it. What so many athletes and other steroid users never realize is that using these chemicals can eventually result in the need to have surgical hair restoration performed in order to correct the damage that has been caused. Anabolic steroids can cause excessive thinning and in some cases, the hair loss is permanent. Additionally, it is more likely to affect both men and women who are already predisposed to the condition by virtue of family genetics.

A healthy head of hair has always been a critical component of a man’s or woman’s appearance, image, and especially their self esteem. This is the primary reason that hair restoration surgery and other treatments have gained in popularity during the past 20 to 30 years. The restoration of lost and/or thinning hair is normally categorized in two ways. These are non-surgical or surgical hair restoration procedures or techniques and there is a variety of these currently available today.
Non-surgical options for hair restoration
There are numerous products such as hair systems (e.g. hair pieces, toupees, or wigs), prescription medicine such as Propecia, and topical applications such as Rogaine for men and women. The numerous technological advancements that have occurred over the past couple of decades have resulted in the increased popularity of these products.
Surgical options for hair restoration
Surgical options for hair restoration are initially broken down into two very basic categories which are fairly common. These are:
- major surgery such as flap surgery, scalp-reduction, and tissue-expansion
- minor surgery such as strip-grafting, slit-grafting, punch-grafting, mini-grafting, and micro grafting
In general, the second hair restoration procedure above involves transplanting small grafts or “punches” of hair follicles taken from the follicle donor area and then transplanting them to the balding area of the scalp. The first one involves surgically transferring strips of donor scalp and tissue to the area that is balding. It may also involve removing a section of the balding area and then pulling the scalp back together to cover the portion that was surgically removed.
The procedure chosen by the hair restoration surgeon is typically determined by the personal needs of the client and the extent that the condition has progressed. Some surgeons oftentimes recommend both procedures to correct the condition and help the patient restore a sense of normalcy in the process. On the other hand, most hair restoration surgeons usually suggest trying non-surgical treatments if the condition has not progressed to the point where this type of surgery is the only option.
On a closing note, you use extreme caution whenever you are selecting any hair replacement surgeon. There are a number of scams in this field that rear their heads from time to time which is something you always want to be careful about. Additionally, there are still a lot of inexperienced surgeons who are just starting out and do not have a sufficient “track” record yet.

Restoration techniques are nothing new and have been around now for decades, but it has only been within the past couple of decades that these different hair restoration procedures have catered to the needs of women in society.
Today, non-surgical and surgical procedures or products have become just as popular with women as it always has been with men. One of the first things that need to be considered is the fact that any treatable causes need to be excluded from your diagnosis before taking more drastic measures to correct the condition.
