If you want to treat your baldness there are only a few techniques that have truly been shown to give good results. The FDA has accepted only two hair regrowth drugs despite other claims made on the internet. But the success rates are not great with either of these. One drug is about 50% effective and the other 75%. The only treatment that offers anywhere near a full success rate is hair implants or hair restoration.

This is a surgical procedure that actually removes hair from the part of the scalp that is not bald and inserts those follicles into the bald patches. Hair implants are very effective at giving you back a full head of hair no matter how big the bald spots. This method works as long as you have sections of your scalp with hair still growing. This is a problem with hair implants for women because they tend to have thinning hair. This is opposed to men who usually have male pattern baldness or bald spots.

Most of the time hair loss from male pattern baldness occurs on the front of the head and the crown. Hair loss on the back of the head is very rare with male pattern baldness. This usually means a portion of the scalp has enough hair to be used as donor follicles. In the implant procedure a surgeon or members of his or her staff remove sections of scalp from this hair covered portion. This is usually done by making narrow slits in the scalp which can be easily sown together. The follicles are then cleaned and readied for insertion.

The surgeon makes small incisions or holes in the bald section and then inserts the follicles in groups of one to three. This helps the hair with natural placement. The skilled surgeon can also insert the hair in a way that allows it to lay in the direction of the natural growing hair for a look that is not noticeable. In fact, when preformed by a highly trained plastic surgeon, the results look completely natural even upon fairly close inspection of the scalp.

Hair implants, or hair plugs as they are also known, are becoming the method of choice for treating baldness. If you have a bald spot they are quick and long lasting. The cost of hair plugs is really not that great when you consider there is very little after procedure cost. Also, there is no fear of the hair falling off like a toupee’. There also are very few side effects unlike drugs. Treating pattern baldness with hair plugs is a great solution.
