Choosing a Hair Replacement Method

There are several different kinds of hair replacement.  Every situation differs from the next, and decisions on choosing hair replacement need to be done on a case by case analysis.  One of the most popular questions asked is “how do I choose a hair replacement for women?”  This question, once again, needs to be answered on a case by case examination.  However, many women have the same issues regarding hair loss.  Mentioned below are some general examples of how women handle hair loss and how women choose hair replacement. 

The first type of treatment is called stereoscopic follicular unit hair transplantation or microscopic hair transplantation.  This is a surgical procedure, where a physician who specializes in the field of hair restoration replaces hair follicles that no longer produce hair with healthy hair follicles using a stereoscopic microscope.  This method is perfect for women because it creates the most natural-looking, permanent hair restoration.    A risk involved in the procedure is that when the physician is planting new hairs next to existing ones, there is a chance that a “shock loss” could occur, causing the existing unhealthy hairs to fall out.  Therefore it is anticipated that a second procedure will be performed in one year to compensate for this.  In the meantime, there are effective ways to camouflage the thinning 

Many women opt to wear a hair replacement system, or a wig, once their hair begins to fall out.  There are some wigs around that are incredibly natural-looking, as long as they are well-maintained.  Now there is also adhesive available that lasts up to six weeks, so a wig can remain on the head for an extended period of time. 

Every women is different, therefore choosing a hair replacement system is a very personal decision.
