Hair loss has always been a fact of life for many men and women, but there weren't always options to help deal with it. The first non surgical hair systems were of crude construction and usually quite visible. This is why they were sometimes referred to as rugs. In modern times, more options exist than ever. They include surgical hair replacement, pharmaceutical treatment and far more advanced non surgical hair systems.
Which method is best for you? The answer comes down to the amount you're willing to pay, the risk you're willing to incur, and effectiveness. Take a closer look at the options and discover why more people than ever are choosing non surgical hair systems to combat hair loss.
Drugs and Replacement
Many surgeons now specialize in hair restoration. The good news is that surgery is virtually risk-free. Depending on the patient's risk factors, there is still a risk of infection, delayed healing and excessive bleeding. In addition, some conditions preclude hair restorations surgery. These include immunosuppressive disease or drugs, chronic diseases and infections, use of anti-inflammatory drugs, obesity, and use of alcohol.
Drug treatments have different success rates that are usually lower than the success rates for surgery. They also cost less than surgery. Risks seem to be fewer, but there is always the risk of contraindications with any current medications. Drugs may have surprise side effects as well, and the listed side effects are often unpleasant at best.
Non Surgical Hair Systems
Modern hair systems bear little resemblance to those of the past. Stock and customized options alike are crafted based off a better understanding of hair growth and advanced manufacturing processes. Customized hair pieces are made with exacting attention paid to such details as loss patterns and color gradation.
Stock hair systems are made to match the most common patterns of loss and color gradation. It might take some time to choose the right piece, but it will certainly be the least expensive option. Customized pieces are more expensive, but they are virtually undetectable with modern adhesive methods. Choose non surgical hair systems for the best effect without the risks!
