Hair Implants For Balding
Written by Male Pattern Baldness Writer on December 14th, 2009If you are suffering from the effects of male pattern baldness, that is if you are going bald at your forehead hair line, top of your head, or the crown, you need to sit back and read this article. The fact is, if you have had substantial hair loss in these areas then the chances of re-growing that hair is almost zero unless you replace the existing hair follicles with ones that are healthy.
When a man suffers from male pattern baldness there is a substance in the body called DHT, dihydrotestosterone, which attacks the hair follicles causing them to stop producing keratin which is the material that the hair shafts are made of. This situation can be alleviated up until the time that the follicle is made completely ineffective. Certain drugs can limit the effects of the DHT. But, once the follicle stops growing hair the only option is to replace it with another hair follicle that is still healthy.
Of course you have thousands of hairs on your head so you are not talking about only a few follicles. Generally, you will require at least a few hundred hair implants in order to have good coverage of the balding area. This procedure is really not a big deal any more as thousands are performed every year. Basically, a cosmetic surgeon will remove healthy hair follicles from the posterior area of the scalp and transplant those grafts into the balding areas of your head. The procedure can usually be done in an afternoon at the doctor’s office or clinic.

You will find that this procedure is very safe and really does make a big difference in how people view you once your hair is growing again.
