Hair loss is a big problem these days. It has an adheres effect on the way it effects the thinking of a person that’s why we hear and see things related to hair and hair loss marketed heavily, and people not knowing what is best for them buy them without knowing the effects they could have on them. We look at the three possible solutions to your hair problem but strongly suggest that the type of procedure adapted for the hair loss should be done by your physician.

• Sophisticated and virtually undetectable hair replacement systems (formerly known as wigs)
  
  
• Medications and topical ointments that can retard hair loss and sometimes even cause new growth
  
  
• Surgical procedures such as hair transplantation and scalp reduction

Wigs and Hairpieces
For thousands of years, wigs have been called wigs. Today, wigs are called many different things, and they've come a long way in terms of offering a more natural appearance. Temporary usage of hair additions while undergoing lengthy hair transplant sessions is becoming more popular among men and women who don't want to advertise their work-in-progress, especially since many transplants take one or two years to complete. They are designed to give a fuller look but if done incorrectly can severely damage your hair.

Drugs and Ointments
Pharmaceutical hair restoration treatments use manufactured chemical substances to affect the structure or function of the hair follicles in an effort to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. Some hair loss medications work by causing hair follicles that have shrunk or shut down to enlarge and grow hair again. Hair restoration medications are used to treat both sudden, temporary hair loss and chronic hair loss that starts slowly and becomes progressively more extreme over time. Prescription drugs are typically powerful and have the potential for some serious undesirable side effects if not used as directed and for their intended purpose.

Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation involves removing small pieces of hair-bearing scalp from a donor site and relocating them to holes or slits in a bald or thinning area, usually on the top of the scalp. Modern techniques in hair grafting (the most recently performed method of transplantation) is performed by many physicians and in many clinics throughout the world. No new hair is added during this procedure -- hair and skin are simply relocated. Grafts vary in size and shape:

• Punch grafts - Round grafts that usually contain about 10 to 15 hairs
• Mini-grafts - Much smaller grafts containing 2 to 4 hairs
• Micro-graft - Tiny grafts containing 1 to 2 hairs
• Slit grafts - Thin grafts that contain about 4 to 10 hairs each
• Strip grafts - Long thin grafts containing 30 to 40 hairs

Several surgical sessions may be needed to achieve more fullness, and a healing interval of several months is usually recommended between sessions. It may take up to two years before you see the final results of the transplant series.
