Hair Transplant Surgery Facts

I have a few questions for you. Now answer honestly. Are you starting to lose your hair? Do you have more hairs on your pillow in the morning than you used to? Does your shower drain clog up and when you clean it the mass of hair you find used to be on your head? If so it is time to stop pretending like it will go away and start today to do something about your balding issues before it is too late. As you know, some people always want to answer any question you have with the same answer. It is like the old saying, “If all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.” This seems to be overly true when speaking about hair loss treatments.

The fact of the matter is there are literally hundreds of different hair loss remedies, hair growth solutions, and restoration procedures you can choose from. The question is, do they help you to actually keep what hair you have and re-grow what is missing, or will your money be better spend buying a hat to cover up your bald spot?

If you are just now starting to notice hair thinning problems then there are a few FDA approved drugs you can try which do seem to help to keep the hair you still have. Finasteride, which is taken in tablet form, works from the inside your body to limit the amount of the hormonal substance DHT. DHT has been found to be the main cause of male hair loss. Minoxidil, a second drug to receive FDA approval, is a topical solution which means it works outside your body. You apply it to the scalp twice a day and rub it in. It actually helps to protect your growing hair follicles from attack by DHT. Both of these drugs show great promise in the early stages of baldness.

It is only in the later stages, when you actually have bald spots on your head, that a person should start considering hair transplantation. This is a radical answer but once the hair follicles in an area of the scalp stop producing keratin, the hair shaft material, it is really the only effective way to get hair growing again. Now make no mistake, the cost of hair transplant surgery is fairly expensive. If you want cheap I suggest you buy a toupee, just be sure to keep hold of it in the wind. But if you are tired of the bald jokes, and you want to take 10 to 15 years off your perceived age, then look into hair transplants. It is a one time charge that will give you a lush head of hair for years to come.

And actually if you look at the cost of hair growth remedies over the next twenty years, and the fact you will still be losing some hair, versus the one time cost of hair transplants it really becomes a very effective way to treat hair loss.
