What exactly is hair replacement? Well, believe it or not, there are procedures out there where a surgeon will actually take hair from your head and implant it where you have bald spots.
Sounds kind of fishy doesn’t it, let’s take a look at some of the facts. The hair that is used is actually more resistant to balding than the hair that has fallen out. This hair will continue to grow like normal and people that had the procedure done, will appear to have hair where they were once balding.
Technology Options
With technology these days, hair transplants are becoming much easier. Some procedures actually take hair grafts that are smaller (1 to 4 hairs) and add that to balding areas on your head. Back in the day the procedure called for larger grafts and mini plugs to accomplish the same thing, but doctors have found that there is a better chance of coverage with the smaller grafts.
Hair regrowth, or multiplication, is also a newer technique for those that have bald spots. Basically, doctors have noticed stem cells on hair folicles and thus have concluded that hair cloning might be around in the near future. In recent studies, men have actually started growing hair back where they were once bald. Doctors have taken hair from the back of the neck, multiplying it and re-implanting it back into the scalp. It might takes years to complete the testing, but it might be a viable option for those losing their hair.
There are also those that say low level lasers can stimulate hair growth on bald spots. Even though there is only one product the FDA approved, Hairmax Lasercomb, I am sure there will be many more to follow. The one issue I have with the Lasercomb is that it sounds like something you can only get on TV at 3am.
Plant Options
Doctors have also credited things like caffine and saw palmetto as things you can ingest to help with hair regrowth. I am not sure about caffine, as I see all kinds of men drinking coffee all day, that have no hair on their heads. All kidding aside, you are actually supposed to add the caffine to your shampoo to help stimulate the hair growth at the folicle level.
