subject: Best Hair Replacement Options For Men And Women [print this page] Involuntary baldness seems to be much more prevalent these days, in both men and women. In fact, over seven out of ten adults over 25 experience hair loss. Whether it's just a factor of genetics, ageing, or something more extreme like alopecia, it's good to find the best hair replacement available whether you're male or female.
In searching for a hair loss clinic, be completely thorough in your knowledge of what is available. You can take medications, get a hair graft, get a hair transplant, scalp reduction, or just good old-fashioned wigs. But there are newer technologies available, making possible hair restoration for women and men alike.
Laser Treatment
Option one is, simply put, laser treatment. In comparison, this procedure is much less extreme than some of the other options mentioned above as it is non-surgical. There would be no cutting or transplanting scalp. And since these lasers are soft (or cool), there wouldn't be any burning done to the scalp, and no pain for the patient. This laser option would just make use of the follicles you've already got, essentially reactivating them and repairing damaged cells. And what looks better on you than your own hair? Keep in mind that this procedure is best for those who are at the beginning stages of hair loss.
Dermal Lens
Another option for hair restoration for women and men is similar to a wig, except that the portion that clings to your scalp is more like a second layer of skin. It is not visible to anyone around you, so the only person who would know is you. This solution is specially modified for each individual--matching hair color, style, and feel. Of course, the hair used on these dermal lenses is real human hair.
Laser treatments typically take a lot of time and investment, and highly specialized products can also be pricey. Make sure either of these options is in your price range before you make a decision.
While these technologies are newer, you are sure to find several hair loss clinics offering the same services. Be a smart consumer, paying special attention to customer satisfaction ratings (sometimes available online) as well as price comparisons. Not only do you want the best hair replacement, you want the best service as well.
All permanent (and costly) decisions can be extremely weighty. But doing a little research will go a long way in helping you to feel good about your choice, and in the end, your appearance, too.
