Hair Replacement Options For hair Loss Sufferers

The beauty industry is big business, and cosmetic beauty enhancements are becoming ever more popular with everybody, not just celebrities. There is a general misconception that aesthetic enhancement is aimed predominantly at women, but improvements in hair replacement techniques have tipped the balance, and the beauty industry is now targeting a male audience more than ever before with a range of solutions for male pattern baldness.

Hair replacement treatments can use one or a combination of several different methods to tackle hair loss. Hair pieces, dyes, medicine and transplants are all ways that male pattern baldness can be tackled by hair replacement professionals.

Transplants use areas of donor hair, generally from the back of the head, which are moved in groups of around four follicles to the area where the hair needs thickening. To get the right effect, several procedures need to be performed, but the uptake is said to be good, achieving a full head of hair after only six months treatment.

Less dramatic cases of hair loss can be treated without the need for transplant surgery. There are a variety of medications available, which although are often used in conjunction with transplant techniques, are an effective means of treatment in their own right. The tablets help stabilise hormone levels and encourage hair growth. This is not usually an option for women who are suffering from hair loss as it causes an increase in facial hair growth as well as growth on the head.

Cosmetic solutions that include weaves, wigs and make up are also popular, especially when hair loss is either extreme or mild. Hair pieces are a preferred option for hair replacement when hair loss is entire. The wigs that are available today are made of human hair, and offer an incredibly realistic and washable solution for hair loss sufferers.

For hair loss that is less dramatic, weaves and make up can be the answer. Sprays can disguise a thinning crown easily, and it is less permanent and less costly than hair replacement through a transplant. Alternatively either natural or synthetic hair can be woven into existing hair. This is more costly than sprays, but the result is more natural and longer lasting.

These treatments are readily available, and the improvement in technique and success is making them cheap enough for the general public to afford; and in a world where women have ruled the cosmetic wave, it is time for men to seize the opportunity for cosmetic enhancement.
