First off lets get one thing straight. If you are losing your hair there are two options available to you. One, you can apply some kind of a hair loss treatment and hope your hair stops falling out. If you treat the balding problem early enough this is a distinct possibility as long as you are using a product that really works. The only topical hair loss treatment that has been approved by the US FDA is the drug Minoxidil. If you are early in the hair loss continuum and are trying to keep what hair you have then this is a good treatment to try. The key is to use it before you actually lose all your hair.
The fact is, once a hair follicle (this is the root that actually grows the hair shaft) stops producing hair material it will not do so again. This brings up the second possibility to dealing with your hair loss. If the follicles are no longer manufacturing hair material then your only option it to replace those follicles with others that are still growing good hair. The hair implantation procedure is your best bet. These hair implants will grow just like your natural hair after they are over the shock of implantation.
There are several types of implants available including the plug type, strip, mini, and micro. As far as results go the further along the list the better the procedure looks after everything else is said and done. But the best hair implants are those done with the follicular unit extraction method of hair restoration. When this method is used a cosmetic surgeon will remove individual hair follicles and shafts from an area of good growth and then implant those units into the balding scalp area. Very small holes, about the size of pin pricks, are all that are needed to remove the hair unit and then insert it into the scalp. There are no large incision like in years past. In fact, this procedure is so simple it can even be done in the doctor’s office in a few hours.
If you have already lost your hair then hair implants for men are well worth looking into and I think you will actually find the follicular unit extraction method works the best.
