Hair Loss Treatment for Men - Do Your Research and Weight Your Options

Hair loss treatment for men is a hot topic and always has been. As far back as time is recorded, men with a full, thick head of hair have been admired and baldness has usually been seen as less attractive. If you are experiencing male pattern baldness, medical hair restoration may be something you are looking into. There are a few precautions, however, before you go ahead with the first treatment you read about.

First, you should know that a lot of terms are interchangeable when it comes to hair loss restoration. Some are treatments that simply slow down the process of losing hair, some actually promote growth of new hair in some men, and others are hair replacement systems. And even within these, there are differences – for instance, restoring a man’s hair can mean a transplant of your own donor hair to the area where you are balding, or it can refer to a type of replacement that isn’t actually surgical. Some procedures might even use artificial hair (far from a toupee, but based on advancements in this type of science, these aren’t technically medical procedures, but cosmetic).

If you hear the phrase “medical restoration” when you are reading about hair loss treatments, it is safe to assume you are looking into a type of transplant surgery. There are several forms of this available for men:

• Skin grafts - Grafts from a donor area, such as the back of the head
• Transplants - Individual hairs are transplanted into the follicles of the balding area
• Laser Hair Restoration Surgery - An extremely painful and controversial procedure

Some men don’t like the idea of undergoing surgery, but the up-side of restoration as an affordable hair loss treatment is the permanence of the procedure. In most cases, once these medical procedures are done the hair lasts a lifetime, while some topical treatments and pills lose their efficacy as soon as you stop taking them. It depends on your preferences, so do your homework and weight all of your options!
