Stop The Embarrassment Of Hair Loss

By Andrew Barnes

Losing your hair is no fun and it can be very embarrassing. How many times have you been called chrome dome? Of course everybody else is laughing but inside you are burning up. This has to stop.

The market has all kinds of products and procedures that are advertised as a way to help you grow hair. Some of the work well and some are just a waste of money. It seems that in hair loss treatments, what works for one person may not work well for the next. Therefore, you really need to try some things out and see what works for you.

The following are three hair loss treatments worth looking into. All three of them have shown relief for some people. The best thing for you to do is try them yourself and see what happens.

The first I am going to talk about is a natural hair supplement. The Saw Palmetto extract has been used for years in the Southern US. Originally utilized by the Native Americas to treat male urinary problems, it seems to affect hair loss the same way the FDA approved drug Finasteride does. Both lower the amount of DHT in the blood stream.

The second hair loss method is actually hair implant surgery. This procedure involves taking hair follicle units from an area of the scalp with good hair growth and placing them into the bald area. Men generally do not lose there hair at the back of the head so this works as a great donor area. Originally these were called hair plugs because of how they looked but new techniques have allowed for a very natural looking result now.

There are really two distinct hair implantation methods. The first, the standard, method starts by removing a strip of skin that contains the hair follicles. The hair units are then each removed from this strip of scalp and readied for placement. The surgeon will then very carefully insert the hairs into the scalp so they match the direction and orientation of the existing growth around the bald spot.

The second hair implantation method is known as follicular unit extraction. With this process a surgeon uses a specially designed medical device to actually remove individual hair follicles directly form the skin. The cosmetic doctor will then transplant them into the bald area. The beauty of this method is that hair from other parts of the body can also be utilized.

The last method involves a medical device known as the laser comb. The laser comb, or laser brush, is comprised of a series of low level lasers. According to its users the low level light therapy stimulates hair growth in the scalp. The US FDA has stated the device will cause no harm but they are waiting for research results before they certify its efficacy. Users of the device, on the other hand, swear by its use.

These are just three of the hundreds of hair loss remedies and treatments available. You don't have to put up with the jokes and snickers any more. Do more research on products and find out what works for you today. You owe it to yourself. - 30246
