Your Hair Replacement Options

There is an array of hair replacement services available today for those suffering from hair loss.  Solutions to hair loss include medications, hair transplant surgery, and non-surgical hair replacements, such as wigs and toupees. 

There are two medications that can remedy hair loss situations.  One of these medications is topical and works to promote new hair growth.  This medication is called Rogaine, or Minoxidil.  The other medicine is used to stop hair loss by decreasing the levels of DHT, the hormone that causes hair loss.  This medication is called Propecia, or Finasteride, and is taken orally. 

Hair transplant surgery is more scientifically known as stereoscopic follicular unit hair transplantation.  This surgery operates to replace balding hair follicles with healthy hair follicles one by one.  The result of this procedure is new, healthy, natural hair growth in just months. 

There is another non-surgical hair replacement technique available.  Hair pieces have their benefits, as well as their downfalls.  One positive part of having a hair piece is that there is no need to have surgery, take medication, or be under any medical care at all.  A full head of hair can be reached almost immediately.  The negative side of having to wear a hair piece is the fact that you do not have normal hair growth and you must wear a hair piece at all times, you must maintain and clean your wig or toupee regularly, and you have to deal with the possibility of someone discovering that you wear a hair piece. 

Before deciding on a hair replacement method for yourself, you should get a consultation by a hair restoration specialist to discover what method would suit you best.  Contact Pistone Hair Restoration for a free consultation.
