A hair replacement procedure may be an option for men who suffer from hair loss. Hair loss may be due to aging, hormonal changes or it may be heredity.
Hair Loss and Hair Replacement
Unlike in women, hair loss in men appears in patches or spots. Men tend to lose hair in the forehead area and the top of the head. The psychological effects may vary. To some men, it can cause a loss of confidence. Hair replacement surgery for men is an appearance-enhancing procedure which can help gain the confidence back.
There are several techniques used in performing hair replacement for men. Regardless of the techniques, the main goal of the procedure is to effectively utilize the remaining healthy hairs of the patient, by transplanting some of them to the balding spots. Men with insufficient hair for transplanting cannot go through with the procedure.
It is important to understand that the procedure will not increase the number of hairs. It will merely redistribute the hair from one area to another for a more proportioned hair density. It is best to set realistic expectations to avoid disappointment. The coverage--prior to the hair loss--cannot be duplicated through the treatment.
