We are living in a technology age and are witnessing some amazing developments in every field including hair restoration. It is quite true to say that we have never seen such a vast number of options for people to treat hair loss.
It is also true to say that this industry has become a particularly ‘buyer beware’ type of market, yet there are two types of techniques that are the most suitable procedures for hair restoration. Read on to find out what’s best for you, and then consult a specialist surgeon for more specifics.
Let us discuss what is a better way to grow hair – hair transplant or other methods.
hair transplant
This type of procedure involves collecting living hair follicles from the sides and back of the head (the donor area) and embedding them into areas of the scalp that have become hairless. Before doing this surgery, you must go to a surgeon for advice. The surgeon will perform a different diagnosis to decide whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
Benefit
-
This is usually a one-time treatment.
-
No other treatment can give the kind of results that implants do.
-
They provide a permanent solution to baldness
-
Embedding procedures have increased throughout the years, and the latest technology known as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) mimics the way hair naturally grows.
-
Hair transplant, especially FUE nowadays leaves negligible scars.
Harm
-
The healing time may be longer in some cases.
-
These do not address the cause of baldness and in rare cases may lead to further thinning.
-
Sometimes, it may require more than 1 surgery.
-
Medicines may be needed to keep the new growth down.
-
These are not suitable for teenagers or those who have not yet completed the cycle of hair loss.
Comment: All these disadvantages can be easily removed by going to the hair transplant surgeon.
hair loss drugs
Relatively few people would seize the chance to go under the blade, so there are few medicinal options as well. There are two medications for male pattern baldness that have shown positive results. However, they can have some side effects and should be consumed only after consulting your doctor. These medicines may not give amazing results as compared to hair transplant,
