Affordable and Permanent Hair Replacements

Hair Loss Replacement works in a number of ways.  There are medications you can take to stop hair loss or promote new hair growth if you are suffering from hair loss.  There is a permanent hair loss replacement that is a surgical procedure called stereoscopic follicular unit hair transplantation that produces a natural looking head of hair.  Other non-surgical hair replacements include hair pieces, wigs, and toupees.  Making a choice on which type of hair replacement technique will depend on your particular situation. 

There are two types of medications that help those suffering from hair loss.  The first type of medication is available over the counter, and it is called Rogaine.  Rogaine is a topical medication that works to promote new hair growth by strengthening hair follicles that are damaged.  Propecia is a prescription, oral medication that works to stop hair loss, as opposed to Rogaine’s tactic of promoting new hair growth.  Propecia works by stopping the hormone that causes hair loss, called DHT, to be produced.  Both medications need to be taken continuously for effective hair loss replacement.

Stereoscopic follicular unit hair transplantation is the surgical procedure that must be done by a physician specializing in the field of hair restoration.  The physician will replace hair follicles that are no longer growing hair with healthy hair follicles one at a time.  Also known as microscopic hair transplantation, this procedure’s outcome is a full head of natural-looking, healthy hair.  For more information on microscopic hair transplantation and for a free consultation, contact Pistone Hair Restoration. 

Of the many solutions for hair replacements, there is one type that takes an entirely different approach from surgical hair transplantation and medications is called a non-surgical hair system, or a wig or toupee.  This type of hair replacement has its positives and negatives.  Hair pieces allow people who are experiencing hair loss to have a full head of hair immediately.  If maintained well, some hair pieces do have the ability to appear to be quite natural and can be a great solution to hair loss replacement.  However, it is not nearly as natural in appearance because it is not real.  Another downfall is that the maintenance and cleansing processes of the hair pieces can be expensive and labor intensive. 

The various types of hair replacements all work in their own, different ways.   When you begin searching for the perfect hair replacement technique, you must take into account several different variables, including the reason for your hair loss and personal preferences.  Every person is different therefore each situation is prescribed a different formula, depending on their specific condition.  In choosing a hair replacement method, you need to discover what is most important to you in solution.
