There is not joy involved in a man losing his hair. In our culture hair loss is a sign that a man is getting older and less virile. In fact, men are usually thought to be 10 to 15 years older than their actual age when they lose their hair. You don’t have to give up hope though. There are several options available to treat this condition.

One of the oldest methods used to treat hair loss is the toupee. Of course the name has been changed now because the old word is so tied in to comedy. Men losing their hair piece was a butt of jokes in movies for years.

The new name for hair pieces is hair replacement systems. No one would confuse that name for something funny. Not only the name has been changed though. New ways to attach the item and improved base materials offer a very good looking alternative to hair loss. A good hair replacement system can even be used to form the hair line for swept back hair.

Some of the shampoos and lotions which are now available can help dramatically with hair loss. Although not all baldness treating shampoos are affective some are. When applied as directed most users report good results.

There are other topical products that are also available. The ones that seem to offer the best treatment are based on the use of Minoxidil. This drug is certified by the FDA to be affective in the fight against baldness.

Still another way to get hair growing in the bald spot is with a hair implantation procedure. When this treatment is used a surgeon actually removes some hair units from one area of the scalp with good hair growth and inserts them into the bald area. This method may be more expensive than others but it also works very well. Men in particular have been helped with this procedure.

Female pattern baldness can be treated with a process known as follicular unit extraction. This new procedure allows for the removal of individual hair units from the skin. This means any area of the scalp can be used as a donor area along with other parts of the body that have hair growth. The beauty of this method is it allows for treatment even if a woman is suffering thin hair along with the patchy baldness

Lastly is the laser comb. This device has not been clinically proven to be affective but there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that it helps hair growth. The FDA has said the laser comb will do no harm but they have not certified that it will actually grow hair.

If you are tired of hair loss then you can see there are a lot of options you can choose from to fight baldness. Look into all these treatments and find out which is the best one for you.
