The first method today is a natural hair supplement. The extract, Saw Palmetto, comes from the Southern US. Originally the Native Americas used it as a treatment for male urinary problems. It appears to act on hair loss the same way the FDA approved drug Finaseride does. This drug was also originally develop to treat male prostrate problems but now it also is prescribed for hair loss. Both seem to limit the amount of DHT in the blood.

The second hair loss method is actually hair implant surgery. This procedure involves taking hair follicle units from an area of the scalp with good hair growth and placing them into the bald area. Men generally do not lose there hair at the back of the head so this works as a great donor area. Originally these were called hair plugs because of how they looked but new techniques have allowed for a very natural looking result now.

There are actually two methods used for hair implantation. The first method requires the removal of a strip of skin from the donor area. The hair follicle units are then individually removed by an assistant and prepared for use. The cosmetic surgeon will then concentrate on placing the hairs in a way that they match the surrounding growth.

The second implant method is follicular unit extraction. With this process the doctor can remove individual hair follicles directly from the skin and then transplant them to the bald area. With this method hairs from other parts of the body can also be utilized.

The last method involves a controversial medical device. The laser comb is claimed to regrow hair by its manufacturer and users. At this time the FDA has said it wont do harm but they wont certify that it grows hair. User, on the other hand, are adamant about its effects.

These are just three of the hundreds of hair loss remedies and treatments available. You don't have to put up with the jokes and snickers any more. Do more research on products and find out what works for you today. You owe it to yourself. - 30516
