Potential Hair Replacement Methods To Select

By Alfie Flynn


Many people experience some amount of baldness or thinning in their lifetime. Not everyone wants to turn to using toupees or wigs, particularly because they often look and feel unreal. Actually, those things are not your only option. There are choices with hair replacement that are available for you to pick from.

One of the choices is in a topical solution. The solution can be in the form of a liquid or foam. Both forms are intended to be applied to the scalp with a light massaging touch. The ingredients in the solution and the massage help to stimulate the scalp for new growth and increase circulation that helps prevent additional loss. Be prepared to see results in about three to four months, but it could take more or less time based on whether you respond to the treatment.

You may find that an oral form is more ideal for you. Pills that are used to treat baldness are designed to work similar to the topical forms, but without the mess. Also similar to the topical applications, results begin to appear within three months or so. The length of time that it takes for results to show will depend on how well your body absorbs the medication.

There are benefits and drawbacks to using the chemical based methods. Many people experience side effects on some level. Topical applications can cause a stinging sensation or redness where it is applied. People who choose the oral method commonly experience decreases in sexual desire. Generally, your doctor may think that the benefits outweigh the potential risk of mild side effects.

Plugs are one of the surgical options available. This option involves surgically implanting follicles into the scalp. A doctor can choose to implant the follicles individually for mild baldness or thinning. He or she can also choose to implant multiple strands to fill in larger sections. The implanted follicles will grow roots and start growing.

A reduction is another type of surgery. In this procedure, a surgeon removes the pieces of scalp without hair. If there are only small sections removed, the remaining scalp is sewn to close the sections. Donor scalp, with rooted follicles, is grafted in place when larger sections are removed.

For temporary needs, a weave is an option. Weaves involve attaching groups of hairs to existing hair to create a look of volume or hide bald spots. They are often a good choice for people who are using the chemical treatments while time passes for results to show. Generally, weaves can stay in place on a long term basis but they will need to be replaced after a few months.

Not every hair replacement option is going to be the ideal one for all people. There are several factors that come into play, including the amount of loss. Some people may not have success with one choice. Make sure that you discuss all of the benefits, risks, and success rates of all your options with your doctor to determine the best choice for you.
