People have been suffering from hair loss for thousands of years but it is just recently that medical science has been able to do much about it. The best method I know of to get hair growing on your bald spot is to utilize hair implant surgery and have your own hair transplanted into the bald spot. This method works really well because the hair that is transplanted naturally matches the surrounding hair. This makes perfect sense because it is the patient’s real hair.
The cost of hair implants varies between doctors and different clinics. It is well worth the money, though, as when you are done you will have a growing head of hair once again. The hair follicles will normally continue to grow for years in their new environment. It only takes a few weeks for the transplanted follicles to become established by connecting to the existing blood supply and then they will begin manufacturing hair shaft material from the nutrients they receive.
In fact the loss of blood supply to a person’s natural hair roots is the number one cause of baldness in both men and women. This condition is known as male pattern baldness but it is also referred to as female pattern baldness. The medical name is Androgenic Alopecia and is usually applied to the male form of pattern baldness. With this condition, the hair follicle blood supply is interrupted by a build up of DHT which is a byproduct of the male hormone Testosterone. This build up slowly chokes off the supply which causes a loss of nutrients and oxygen to the root. This is seen as a thinning of the hair shaft until the hair follicle finally dies and falls out.
Once the follicle dies there is not anything that can be done to restore it. Instead, new hair units must be implanted into the scalp. These hair units are usually removed from the back of the head where most men still have good hair growth even if the top of their head is bald. This posed a problem when trying to develop a hair implants women process because women usually have hair thinning along with the pattern baldness. This means there is not good donor area on the head. The FUE hair implants procedure was developed to address this problem. The FUE, or follicular unit extraction, method actually removes individual hair units from the skin instead of requiring that a portion of scalp be removed. This means hair from several areas of the head could be used and also hair from other body areas. This made hair implants for women a reality.
Hair implant surgeons are always trying to develop new methods of corrective hair implants to address the problem of hair loss. Historically, most of the work has been done to treat hair loss in men but now that women are more active it has been determined that they need more options than just wigs. The hair implant and transplant method works very well for treating bald spots in both men and women. Other areas where hair loss is a problem have necessitated the eye brow hair implants procedure and the facial hair implant process. Both of these also give very good results.
If you are trying to get hair growing in a bald spot you should look into hair implant surgery as an answer to your problem.
