Treatment for hair loss

Often, hair grow some time after hair loss. It occurs in case of temporary hair loss when your hair grow without any treatment but, sometimes, in case of permanent hair loss, hair just do not grow back once you lose them and it is the time when you need a treatment either to grow your hair back or just replace your hair. Let’s see how these hair loss solutions work.

Hair replacement

Hair replacement refers to the use of wigs, toupees and hair systems to conceal bald scalp or hair thinning. The best thing about hair systems is that they do not need you to take medicine or undergo surgery. All you need to do is buy a hair piece and wear it with a professional’s help. Although, women also wear wigs and hair pieces, Mens hair replacement are quite popular. These hair systems are available of-the-shelf and can also be ordered for customized pieces. The worst thing about it is that it is not a permanent solution for your hair loss.

Hair restoration

Medical hair restoration: It employs use of medicines to regrow hair. These medicines may be topical solutions like Minoxidil or oral tablets like Finasteride. Drugs are an easy and simple cure that do not take much of your time and your money in short term. However, they may cost you big sum of money if you prefer to use them throughout your life. In fact, medicines grow hair only as long as you use them. Quitting their use shed all your hair that you have grown with their use. So, you have to use them the rest of your life if you want to have permanent hair growth. There is another thing which makes medicines not a good choice for hair restoration and that is the long list of side effects. Each hair growing medicine has different side effects and complications. Some of these side effects are temporary and quite harmless such as irritation in eyeswhile some others are quite serious like cancer.

Surgical hair restoration: Hair transplant is also known as surgical hair restoration. As the name indicates it is a surgical procedure which takes out hair follicles from the back of the scalp where they are available in abundance and plant them in an area where hair growth is needed. In this way it actually redistributes your existing hair and covers bald or balding regions.

As the surgery transplants hair follicles not grown up hair so, you do not see its results immediately. Instead, it takes two to three months during which your hair grafts get themselves attached with local blood supply and then start to develop hair. Hair transplant is a favorite treatment for many hair loss patients because, unlike medicines, it gives you permanent hair that you do not lose the rest of your life.

Hair loss is quite depressing not only for women but for men also. But you do not need to worry because there are some really good treatments that you can have like hair transplant if you want a permanent solution and mens hair replacement if you want to try a temporary solution. Just compare their benefits and disadvantages and make a careful decision.
