The wheel of innovation and hair loss treatments
With the onset of technology, there is a rising rate of innovations coming up in medical sciences. These innovations are making things very easy for the doctors, surgeons and even for the general public, thanks to the convenience and the comfort that the new technology has to offer. The new medical innovations have not only made things simple but have increased the costs at the same time. The costs of getting a treatment has almost doubled in recent times when compared to the cost you paid some years earlier.
The changing times
Right from the pre-historic era to the modern age, if we look at the developments in medicinal sciences, the wheels of innovation have always been churning and that too at a faster pace, gaining even faster a momentum every next era. Let’s churn the wheel backwards and take a look at some ancient remedies used for hair loss treatments. As we know that almost in every medical segment, the Egyptians have been known to be the pioneers when it comes to natural remedies and ancient medicinal practises, the case of treatments is not any different.
The ancient Egyptians believed that hair is a symbol of status and pride and its maintenance was regarded to be equally important as health maintenance. The Egyptians believed that they could avoid hair fall or treat it by covering their heads with the fat of lions and crocodiles. No account is available to prove as to which extent this practise was effective but such a practise did prevail. Another ancient account of hair loss treatment dates back to the Napoleon and Caesar’s time. It states that both, Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte suffered from hair fall and were afraid of going bald. So, they hid their receding hairline by combing their back hair forward.
Although the account about Napoleon and Caesar cannot be considered as a treatment but yes, it was a significant anecdote portraying the fear of baldness since ages. Well, the times changed and more advanced and effective techniques came into existence. On the onset of the modern era, herbal treatments to prevent and to stop hair fall or for hair re-growth were found. These gained a lot of popularity and are even practised today in some regions. Herbal remedies are an integral part of natural hair loss pills that are available today.
Then came the time when the fear of baldness rose to an all time high and that was the time when hair loss treatment surgeries like hair transplants came into existence, which got immense fan following because of its quick results. But people were not aware about the dangers of these treatments and the scientists, as restless as ever, made the lives of people even simpler by inventing hand-held and home-use lasercombs that were effective, discreet, easy-to-use, convenient and uber cool.
Now, till date, the lasercombs such as the HairMax LaserComb Lux 9 and other similar products have been crowding the market shelves and with every passing day their popularity is growing. The HairMax Comb range is the only FDA approved brand of laser combs at the moment.
Today, the laser technology boasts of its prowess over other hair loss treatments, not knowing that as other techniques fell to the test of time, maybe an even more advanced technology is just preparing for its downfall. A new world saying may be coined: ‘Time and technology wait for none.’ Let’s just wait and watch.
