These Methods Work To Combat Bald Spots
Sponsored Links
Almost all men, and a fairly large percentage of women, will have some level of hair loss as they age. This may be just thinning hair or it may be bald spots or complete baldness. Most people will deal with it at some level. This problem is getting much bigger now that the average age in the US is increasing.
In general men do not like being bald. Most people take being bald as a sign of aging. Therefore, finding the correct hair loss treatment is definitely worth the effort. I find there are three effective treatments to check out if you are losing your hair.
The first one is my favorite, hair implants. I like this method because it gives a final answer to the problem of baldness. It uses a persons own hair so there is not a problem with matching.
These were first developed back in the 1950's but the process did not give very good results. Over the last twenty years or so this has changed as micro-surgical techniques have been applied. In this treatment a cosmetic surgeon will remove hair follicles from an area of the scalp with good hair growth and implant them into the bald area. These hair units will then start to grow just like natural hair.
Another method is, hair replacement systems. This is a new name for an old product that still works well. You probably know them by there old name, toupee. The manufacturers of these hair pieces changed the name because toupee has come to be associated with comedy routines.
How many times have you seen a guy with a toupee lose it in his soup or get it caught on someones umbrella? The word itself makes a person laugh because of all the funny images. Thus the manufacturers had to change the name.
A hair replacement system, toupee, is really a very good and inexpensive way to get hair back on your bald spot. New techniques allow a very close match of color and texture to your original hair. Besides this, the new attachment systems mean they will stay on much better than in the movies. These definitely deserve a look if you want instant hair.
The last method is drugs approved by the FDA. There are two drugs that have been researched and found to have an effect on hair growth. Finasteride is taken in a pill form and Minoxidil is a topical solution that is applied to the scalp. Both of these are marketed under various brand names.
These are three possibilities to help you with your hair loss embarrassment. If you are going bald you definitely want to do something because baldness causes a man to look much older than he really is. Check out these options and see if any is right for you.
