If you are suffering from hair loss you have choices available to you which are surgical and non surgical hair replacement. Many opt for the shaved look. Here they can announce their baldness to the world and not have to worry about any other solutions. Unfortunately this personal choice is not for everyone. For starters many men can not pull off the bald look, some men feel more confident with hair and the thought of no hair at all is not an option and for others the small area of thinning hair does not warrant removing every shred of hair left.
Surgical Hair Replacement
So if the thought of shaving off all your hair is not one you want to consider then what are the others options left to you? Surgery is one way to try and alleviate the problem of hair loss. Transplants and implants are the most obvious choices. Both options offer a more permanent solution but will require painful and in most cases expensive procedures. With implants hair is individually injected into the scalp over a period of time. If the area of thinning hair is quite large this procedure can take several months to complete. As with all hair, natural and otherwise, hair will fall out in time and will need to be replaced. This will result in further treatment and expense.
With hair transplants sections of the scalp where hair continues to grow is removed and reattached in the bald areas. As male pattern baldness occurs on the top of the scalp it is usual for the hair and scalp at the back of the head to be removed and re-attached on the crown areas. Success in this procedure is dependent on how much hair a client has to be transplanted and whether further balding is likely to occur in the future. This is by far the most extreme of surgical procedures and as such can be expensive and extremely painful for the individual.
Non Surgical Hair Replacement
Non-surgical treatments include lotions, creams, tablets, lasers etc. These treatments are not proven to be effective and if pursued over long periods of time can be equally expensive and results are generally very disappointing. Hair systems are another option that is not surgical. This option is not painful and should not break the bank in terms of cost. Advancements in the area of hair systems have been very positive in recent years and clients can achieve natural looking and excellent results at the fraction of the cost of the surgical options available to them. With real human hair combined with almost transparent bases it is almost impossible to tell who is wearing a hair system and who is not. Many A list celebrities and top billing Hollywood actors now choose hair systems over surgery to cure them of receding and bald scalps.
I hope this information has been of use and please look out for more information on hair replacement.
