Bald Spot? Get New Hair With Transplants

February 6, 2010 by GuestPoster 

I can feel for you if there is a bald spot or two on your head when you look in the mirror.  I know exactly how it affects you because I know what I felt.  I started thinking and, really, acting like I was older than my actual years.  I let a little hair loss completely changed how I viewed myself and how I reacted to other people.  I think depressed would be a fair word to use.  Then one day I decided to take the balding problem head on and get back the full head of hair I deserved.  I started looking into hair growth options and this is what I found.

Most men lose their hair because of a genetically derived medical condition called androgenic alopecia.  The common name for this is male pattern baldness and that is what I was seeing; a pattern of hair loss at my hair line and also on the vertex or crown of my head.  The hair is lost because a substance in the body attacks the hair follicles and causes them to actually fall out.  This substance is a derivative of the male hormone testosterone and is called DHT.  Once the hair falls out the chances of getting your hair follicles actively growing again are about zero.  Therefore, the best way to get hair growing again is with a hair transplantation procedure done by a hair restoration surgeon.

He or she will remove growing hair follicles from the back of the head and then implant them into the balding area.  These transplanted hair units will then produce hair shafts for years to come.  The cost of hair transplant procedures is really not that great when spread over the twenty years or so you will enjoy your new hair.

Believe me, getting your hair growing again can completely change how you view yourself and life.
