Hair Loss is inevitable, but there’s a permanent solution

Do you lose hair in the shower everyday? Does your hairbrush have more hair than your head does? Is your hairline receding? Does your hair grow in patches?

Thinning hair and balding can be truly upsetting. And here’s the bomb. There are many, many reasons why we lose our hair : from using bad hair products to hereditary factors.

The truth is, around 30% of the adult population suffers from some degree of hair loss. The problem intensifies as people grow older, and hear this: thinning hair and balding is more common among men than women.

Male baldness may be caused by genetic factors and hereditary reasons. The most common of which is Androgenic Alopecia or Male Pattern Baldness wherein the hair follicles become sensitive to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that produces testosterone, resulting in the falling out of hair follicles. Hair in frontal hairline and crown areas are most sensitive to DHT and are the first to go. Over time, a horse-shoe shaped pattern of hair loss results.

Balding may also be caused by stress, disease, injuries, hormonal change like menopause, cosmetic procedures and some hair products. Thus women are not exempted from experiencing hair loss at all.

But even though adults may experience thinning hair at some point in their lives, the situation can be remedied. There are topical solutions, oral medicines and natural products like aloe that can help reduce hair loss. But the easiest, surest and only permanent way to restore lost hair is via a hair transplant procedure.

What is a hair transplant procedure? The principle of hair transplantation consists of transferring hair follicles that are genetically resistant to balding (that is, hair located at the back of the head), to the bald or thinning area.

Hair transplant procedures can be via the original method of Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) or the more advanced Follicular Unit Extration (FUE). MAXiM, an American hair transplant clinic, performs MEGA Sessions for both FUT and FUE. It allows clients to grow a good head of hair from just one visit. Hair density can also be achieved via the non-surgical approach of Scalp Micropigmentation. FUE and FUT results are permanent, while scalp micropigmentation lasts from 6 to 8 years. For almost 12 years now, MAXiM Hair Restoration has been offering all three procedures to innumerable clients at a very competitive price.

Those who have undergone the procedures are happy with the results and appear to have gained back their youth, attractiveness and good health. MAXiM’s experienced team of nurses and plastic surgeons are experts in aesthetic medical procedures and adept at making the patient feel ready to resume their normal schedule right away. This medical expertise is what sets MAXiM apart from other hair clinics. Also, MAXiM clinics are specialists in hair transplants and totally focused on giving patients a healthy and attractive head of hair.

Hair transplantation at MAXiM can also be done for beards, eyebrows, chest hair or even just a hairline change.

Afraid of balding and thinning hair? - Get a head of natural hair with MAXiM MEGA Sessions

One of the most fearsome thoughts for both men and women is the prospect of balding.  Thinning hair or hair that grows in patches can be just as alarming.

A fear of baldness is called phalacrophobia. But even just the loss of a little hair can cause major anxiety for some people.

Now, those with balding heads or thinning hair can find a quick solution to their problem at MAXiM, an international hair restoration center based here in the Philippines. The answer is MAXiM’s MEGA Sessions – a procedure that allows clients to grow a good head of hair from just one visit. In the MEGA Sessions, up to 4,000 grafts of hair (up to 10,000 hair follicles) are implanted on the scalp in one sitting so clients do not have to do multiple visits.  

MEGA Sessions are unique to MAXiM, which has been doing various types of hair transplant procedures on local and foreign clients since 2004.  While other hair centers can only transplant 1,000 to 2,000 grafts, MAXiM plastic surgeons and nurses are uniquely qualified to perform Mega Sessions that already produce satisfying results in just one session.  

“The big advantage of MEGA Sessions, besides the great improvement in looks, is that the client does not have to keep coming back to the clinic for repeat sessions just to get a full head of hair.  The improvement in appearance and image is really quite significant and many clients are pleased. With a full head of hair, many of our clients tell us they have landed good jobs, gotten promotions, found the love of their lives, and have renewed self-confidence because of their youthful look,” said MAXiM Hair Restoration CEO Mac Fadra.

For nearly 12 years now, MAXiM Hair Restoration has been offering hair transplant procedure to innumerable clients.  MAXiM has an experienced team of nurses and plastic surgeons that enables it to continually develop their hair restoration services.  MAXiM specializes in hair restoration and nothing else.  

“MAXiM plastic surgeons who are adept at wound healing and aesthetic procedures. This sets us apart from other clinics where many of the doctors performing the hair restoration are physicians without any plastic surgery experience,” added Fadra.

He explains that MEGA Sessions can be done with both Conventional (Follicular Unit Transplantation, FUT) and No Scar (Follicular Unit Extration, FUE) methods of hair transplantation. “No maintenance is required other than the simple, post-op care for about 10 days following the procedure to ensure that they are healing well.  Then we see them again after a few months to check on the progress of their hair growth,” he said.

The MAXiM mantra is "Hair is all we do and we do it well". We are super-specialized and focused on hair restoration -- nothing else,” Fadra concluded.

In 2016, MAXiM launched the offering of Scalp Micropigmentation to clients as an alternative to hair transplants.  Scalp Micropigmentation uses an advanced pigment to camouflage the loss of hair.  This is particularly attractive to clients who prefer a shaved or buzzed look on their scalp.  Scalp Micropigmentation only requires one or two sessions of one to two hours each and is very affordable.  

MAXiM is also now offering non-surgical, topical and oral solutions for hair loss prevention.

MAXiM Hair Restoration is the Manila branch of the New York-based hair transplant company that also has offices in Connecticut and Chicago in the US; Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, and other Asian markets.

Why OFWs Come Home to Manila to get Their Hair Back

The Philippines is fast becoming the go-to place for hair restoration procedures.

Medical findings show that about 30% of the adult population experience some degree of hair loss, even up to their 40s and 50s. Nearly two-thirds of men start to go bald at various stages and ages in their life.  Due to the great psychological value attached to having a full head of hair, thinning hair and hair loss are a big issue for people young and old, especially for men.

MAXiM Hair Restoration, an 11-year old hair transplant clinic, says the number of foreigners, medical tourists and vacationing Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) coming to their clinic for hair transplants has been steadily growing through the years. Clients from the US, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Middle East, Canada, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia are growing in number.

OFWs with more disposable income are seeking ways to improve their appearance and raise their self-esteem.  “Employers perceive younger-looking, well-groomed people to be more attractive and competent.  So when we look good and appear younger, we get more job opportunities,” says Mateo Cepe, a contract worker from Dubai.

“Hair transplants in Manila cost less and are world class. MAXiM has a long track record and international experience.  It is famous and reputable among us OFWs,” says Leonardo Eguia, a former OFW from Taiwan.

Other OFWs undergo hair transplants for more personal reasons. “There are clients who want to improve their relationships and feel better about themselves. Many OFWs are ecstatic after seeing their new hairlines.  More hair on their head takes them to a new level in their personal life and gives them renewed confidence,” said Mac Fadra, CEO of MAXiM Hair Restoration.

Unlike other hair transplant clinics that also offer cosmetic procedures like face lifts, skin tucks and botox, Fadra says MAXiM is entirely dedicated to hair restoration. “We can restore hair on the scalp, eyebrows, chest, implant facial hair like beards and sideburns, and perform non-surgical procedures such as Scalp Micropigmentation. We can take hair from the sides and back of the head as well as from the chest, arms and other parts of the body."

MAXiM performs MEGA sessions of up to 4,000 grafts in one session whereas other centers perform mini sessions, requiring clients to return repeatedly for more grafts (hair).  Also, MAXiM doctors are plastic surgeons who are adept at wound healing and aesthetic procedures compared with other centers where the doctors performing hair transplant procedures are ordinary physicians without any plastic surgery experience. 

According to the MAXiM mantra, "Hair is all we do and we do it well."   They are super-specialized and focused on hair restoration and nothing else. 

MAXiM Hair Restoration is the Manila branch of the New York-based hair transplant company that also has offices in Connecticut and Chicago in the US; Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, and other Asian markets.

​Thinning hair problems? Going bald? Scalp Micropigmentation may be your best bet.

Do you have thinning hair because of alopecia, menopause or male pattern baldness? Are you going bald and want to have your hair back?

If you don’t want to wear wigs or a hair replacement system, and think you’re not yet ready for a hair transplant, Scalp Micropigmentation, also known as SMP is the novel remedy for baldness. Itmay be your best bet.

Essentially, scalp micropigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical hair restoration solution. It is a cutting-edge, non-surgical office-based procedure that is non-invasive and uses sophisticated micro needles that deposit pigment into the scalp. The SMP technique replicates tiny hair follicles to restore thinning hair and resemble its previous density.

Does it hurt? Not really. During the SMP procedure, you may feel a bit of discomfort in certain areas of the scalp. But the discomfort wears off once the procedure is complete.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) uses a digitally controlled machine combined with tiny needles that are tinier compared to typical tattoo needles, but it is not a tattoo. The pigment used is much less concentrated and does not have the chemical additives found in tattoo ink. It doesn’t penetrate the skin as deeply as normal tattooing and the color can be matched to your natural color, even if you go gray. The effect is natural, as the needles mimic individual hair follicles and gives the look of a full, youthful head of cropped hair.

During the SMP procedure, the tiny ink deposits will match your own naturally shaved follicles like a 5 o’clock shadow that mimics stubble hair. Small hair strokes will be applied wherever hair has thinned or been lost.The procedure can simulate a full-front, side and/or rear hairline. It can permanently camouflage the symptoms of all degrees of alopecia and hide scars, burns and birthmarks.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is gaining popularity as a cost-effective, affordable alternative to hair transplants. It is natural, requires minimal maintenance, and produces immediate results in line with one’s goals and expectations.

It is ideal for those who have previously undergone hair transplantation and want to reduce, minimize or hide their scars.

MAXiM Hair Restoration, a rapidly growing New York-based hair transplant company with a center in Makati, Metro Manila, has launched the increasingly popular Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) in the Philippines. MAXiMalso has offices in New York City, Connecticut; Chicago, Illinois in the U.S; Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the U.A.E.; Mumbai in India; and Karachi in Pakistan. 

According to Mac Fadra, CEO of MAXiM Hair Restoration, the procedure is popular because:

• It is non-invasive. No surgery -- which means NO scarring.  
• It needs minimal maintenance. After the procedure, you can return to your daily activities with little or no ongoing maintenanceat all.
• It does not need donor hair, like in a hair transplant.
• It can deliver high density follicular restoration to your style, color and hair line preferences. 
• It costs much less than a hair transplant, hair systems, and long-term over-the-counter and prescription drugs such as Rogaine and Propecia. Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) will not make a hole in your wallet.

Fadra says Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) is a long-term solution for hair loss. The results including color and strength should last at least five years. At such point, one can undergo a touch-up procedure to restore any fading.
