Baldness Treatments – A Ray of Hope for the Bald

Baldness treatments are much sought after by balding men and women since time immemorial. Loss of crowning glory or alopecia has been a tough challenge for us since long back. However, surgical transplants including mini and micro graft hair replacement offers a permanent solution.

Micro Graft Treatments - The Permanent Solution

In surgical transplantation, the bald or the low growth area of your scalp is surgically replaced with that of dense growth. Post surgery, your hair soon roots itself in the transplanted area and starts growing. Micro graft uses follicles and scalp flap surgery uses scalp skin. These are the two most popular replacement methods.

Micro vs. Mini

In grafting, the shafts are extracted from the dense growth area of your scalp to replace your bald portion. A transplant of 1-2 shafts is called a micro and one of 2-4 shafts is called a mini graft. Surgeons generally use the micro grafting technique as a permanent hair replacement system. Its small size needs low metabolism and there are fair chances of hair survival compared to the other methods. This surgical treatment is quite effective even for burnt scalps. You may see the desired results after more than one session.

Scalp Flap Surgery

In scalp flap surgery, a slice of your scalp skin with dense growth is transplanted to the bald portion of your head. This method of replacing hair permanently has two types, scalp expansion and scalp reduction, which are generally coupled during treatment.

Consult With Your Doctor

Permanent replacement techniques such as micro grafting have a come a long way. The doctor decides upon hair transplant surgery vis-ŕ-vis a patient’s age, gender, medical condition, body’s acceptance to medicines, the family history of female or male pattern baldness, the availability of healthy hair area in the scalp, to name few. Though these treatments are generally successful, the outcome of medical hair restoration may vary from person to person.
