Treat You Male Pattern Baldness With Hair Plugs
Written by Male Pattern Baldness Writer on March 10th, 2010male pattern baldness is the scourge of about 60% of all men in the world. This means hair loss is a large problem that is crying out for a solution. There are a few drugs and remedies which you can use to slow down the loss of hair caused by this genetic condition but once the hair falls out there is not much that can be done other than to replace the shed hairs.
Hair plugs for men, also called hair implants or hair transplants are the most effective way to get hair growing in the bald spot whether it is a receding hair line or balding at the crown. When this procedure was originally developed in the 1950’s the results were not very good and it was really quite painful. Actually, pieces of scalp which had good hair growth were incised from the head and then sewn into the bald spot. As you can imagine this gave a frightful looking result. In fact, the transplanted hair groups usually stuck out every which way like a man who had seen a ghost.
New techniques have really eliminated the hair plugs idea and given much better results by manipulating individual hair follicles instead of piece of scalp. The hair restoration surgeon can remove follicles and insert them into the scalp with very small incisions or holes. The hairs are usually removed from the back of the head where hair growth continues robust even as the top and front of the scalp go bald. Since the posterior section of the head does not have hair thinning problems removing a few hairs is not noticeable in the least.
Although the procedure is still called having hair plugs, it is more correct to call it follicular transplantation because individual follicles can now be implanted. If you have lost your hair due to male pattern baldness then look into the prospects of new hair from this procedure.
