Try Hair Implants To Treat Your Baldness
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. Neither of these has a very good success rate. One drug is about 50% effective 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 are great for regrowing hair in bald spots and giving you back a full head of hair. 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.
Most of the time hair loss from male pattern baldness occurs on the front of the head and the crown. Very rarely is hair lost from the lower back portion. This usually means there is a good donor area to be used for transplanting of hair follicles. In the implant procedure a surgeon or members of his or her staff remove sections of scalp from this hair covered portion. Narrow slits are usually made in the scalp which 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 helps the implants to blend into the surrounding hair. 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, when performed by a trained physician, the implants are very difficult to detect.
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’. There are no major side effects unlike the current hair growth drugs. Hair plugs are very effective for treating male pattern baldness.
