If you want to treat your baldness there are only a few techniques that have truly been shown to give good results. The FDA has only certified two medications for hair regrowth despite other claims. But each of these gives less than a 100% success rate. One has about 50% and the other 75%. The only treatment that offers anywhere near a full success rate is hair implants or hair restoration.
This is a surgical procedure that actually removes hair from the part of the scalp that is not bald and inserts those follicles into the bald patches. Hair implants look natural and offer a great solution to hair loss no matter how large the bald spot. This method works as long as you have sections of your scalp with hair still growing. This is a problem with hair implants for women because they tend to have thinning hair. This is opposed to men who usually have male pattern baldness or bald spots.
When people suffer from pattern baldness they usually lose hair above the forehead and on the crown of the head. Very rarely is hair lost at the back of the head. Usually this means there are ample amounts of hair follicles to be used. In the implant procedure a surgeon or members of his or her staff remove sections of scalp from this hair covered portion. This is usually accomplished by making narrow slits that can be easily sown together. The individual hair follicles are then cleaned and prepared for reinsertion.
The surgeon makes small incisions or holes in the bald section and then inserts the follicles in groups of one to three. This allows the implants to look natural. The skilled surgeon can also insert the hair in a way that allows it to lay in the direction of the natural growing hair for a look that is not noticeable. In fact, the implants look very natural even under close inspection.
Hair implants, or hair plugs as they are also known, are becoming the method of choice for treating baldness. If you have a bald spot they are quick and long lasting. The cost of hair plugs is really not that great when you consider there is very little after procedure cost. Also, there is no fear of the hair falling off like a toupee’. Unlike drugs, there are very few side effects. Hair plugs offer a great solution for male pattern baldness.
