There are many potential methods to be used when fighting baldness. Some of the methods are natural remedies that sound great but don’t do anything for hair loss. Other ways include fighting baldness with drugs that can have potential side effects. Another potential is to cover up the spot with a hair piece or toupee. All of these have problems when it comes to regrowing hair. The hair implant procedure is giving great results for treating hair loss.
If you are a man with bald spots this is the method that will really help you. Bottom line, hair implants work. There are two methods used for hair transplantation. The first method is known as strip transplanting in which a portion of scalp is removed and the resulting slit sown up. The hair and root systems are then each extracted from the ribbon of scalp and prepared to be inserted into the bald spot. The cosmetic surgeon then places the hair units into the skin of the bald spot in a way to match the surrounding hair. These hairs are perfect matches for the surrounding hair shafts.
An advancement on the strip method is the follicular unit extraction procedure. This method of direct hair implants is much easier. It does away with the need for the painful removal of a section of scalp. Instead, a special tool is used to extract each individual hair follicle from the scalp that will be transplanted. This allows much less disruption to your existing hair. The surgeon can then insert the individual follicular units into the bald spot and give a very natural looking appearance. This method gives much greater rates of success because of the care taken with each follicle. The instrument that is used for the transplant removes all the associated parts of the hair and places them gently back into the skin. This is the top of the line procedure for hair restoration.
Hair implants also work well for women who have balding problems. Historically, hair implants for women have been difficult. When a female experiences pattern alopecia she also usually has a problem with hair thinning. This fact meant women could not get effective implants because there was no where to harvest the hair units from. When using the FUE technique a surgeon can remove individual hair follicles from several areas of the scalp. This procedure also makes other areas of the body viable for transplantation donation. Thus women can now have many more areas which can be used for hair donation.
If you are a man with bald spots you need to look into this method. Or, if you are a women with female pattern alopecia you should definitely consider this. Many people develop self-esteem issues because of baldness. Start today to get your hair growing again.
