In every person's life, there is going to be a time when the hair starts falling out, making it look thinner and thinner. Most people are not too happy about this. It happens to females as well as males. But it happens to males a lot more often and also at a younger age.

It doesn't really matter if you are a man or a women and if you are young or old. The first signs of baldness are something that you will never forget. Your first hair loss is going to leave a lasting impression on you. In most people, it will be a while before they are able to come to terms with it.

But fortunately, there are things you can do to remedy your hair loss. There is  no complete cure for baldness as of yet, but we have the power to slow it down. By asking your doctor to get you on the drug finasteride, you can slow your hair loss down and in some cases stop it for a few years.

When you want to partially reverse your hair loss,  you are going to have to have a medical treatment known as the hair transplant. This surgery will take some hairs from one part of your head and transplant those somewhere else. In summary, it goes  like this.Tenso!

1. When performing this treatment, donor hair from your own head will be transplanted to a balding area to make it look more hairy. The donor hairs come from the back of the head. The hairs in this area are not sensitive to the balding hormone otherwise known as DHT. The donor hair is excised in the form of a tissue strip. This strip is dissected into hair grafts.

2. You take your place in a seat while the performing doctor uses a laser to puncture tiny little wounds in the bald area that you wish to have treated. Back in the old days, a scalpel was used for this. The tiny wounds created by the laser, are recipient sites for the hair grafts.

3. The dissected donor hairs are taken one by one and placed into the tiny little wounds in your bald area. These wounds will heal up in about three days, after which the transplanted hair grafts are firmly in place. The transplanted hairs then continue to grow like the rest of your natural hair.

If you are considering getting a hair transplant performed on yourself, then please keep in mind that this is no small decision. It's a costly procedure that is not guaranteed to make you happy. You really need to think and talk this through with your consultant before taking the plunge!

Baldness treatments are one of the number one cosmetic surgery concern is the US and Europe. The question is Why? Why would someone spend thousands of dollars to get hair growing on a bald spot on their head? I think it is because hair loss is seen as an ailment for old men and no one wants to admit that they will get old one day. We want to keep the illusion of youth as long as possible and one way to keep this illusion is to do what ever it takes to keep a youthful looking head of hair.

If you already have bald spots or maybe even full baldness there is only one effective method to get hair growing in the balding area again and that is to transplant healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp to the bald area. When men suffer from male pattern baldness, the number one cause of hair loss, then tend to lose the hair at the front hair line, top of the head, and crown area. This leaves the back of the head with good hair growth which can be harvested to fill in the bald areas. When a cosmetic surgeon performs hair restoration surgery he or she will remove hair follicles from this area and insert them into the balding scalp.

There are actually four types of hair transplants or hair grafts to choose from. The first is the slit graft. This consists of a slit of scalp that is removed from the donor area and inserted into an incision in the balding area. Each of these grafts contain about 30 hairs. This graft technique is fairly obvious because of the large size of the graft and the fact that it is a straight line. The second type of graft is the rounded punch graft. This contains about ten hair units and is more natural looking than the slit style. It still can be noticeable though.

The two most unnoticeable grafting techniques are known as mini-grafts and micro-grafts. The mini-graft will contain 4 hairs usually and appears quite natural. But, for the most natural look a patient should go for the micro-graft. These are actual follicular groups with between one to three hairs. These grafts are the same size as natural occurring follicle groups so they are almost unnoticeable even upon close inspection.

Of course the per graft cost increases as you go down the scale to smaller and smaller units. Also, it takes more grafts to cover the bald area. But the micro-grafting technique does give a better result for hair loss restoration. If you can afford it this is definitely the way to go.
