Many people will face hair loss challenges at one point or another, especially when there are so many reasons why hair loss can occur.
If your hair is thinning or your hairline has started to recede, there are four main hair restoration options for you to consider.
Top 4 Hair Restoration Procedures
FUT
This is one of the original hair transplant methods but it’s not always the most popular. The FUT method requires a surgeon to remove a strip of hair from the side or back of the head, which will then be separated into individual follicles. These hair follicles will then be transplanted in the areas where the thinning is occurring. While this method is effective, results often look unnatural and you will be left with a scar.
FUE
Unlike the FUT method, the FUE method involves the extraction of individual hair follicles, which are then transplanted to the relevant areas. Not only are you left with more natural results and a realistic hair pattern, but there’s no obvious scarring besides a few puncture wounds, which once healed, are not noticeable. The FUE method is ideal for thinning hair as well as receding hairlines and is available at all reputable hair growth clinics such as Medici Capelli. Regardless of whether you opt for the FUT or FUE method, you will need a reasonable amount of donor hair for the procedure to be successful.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
Another way to give your hair a natural boost is with platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP). During this procedure, a small sample of your blood is withdrawn before it is placed in a device called a centrifuge. This device will spin your blood, separating the blood cells from plasma that is packed with growth factors. This plasma is then injected into your scalp, which encourages healthy cell activity. PRP therapy is shown to have the ability to revive damaged hair follicles, which encourages them to establish a normal growth cycle once again.
Scalp Micro Pigmentation
Also referred to as SMP, scalp micro pigmentation is a medical hairline tattoo that is capable of replicating the appearance of natural hair. This is still a relatively new hair restoration option and for obvious reasons, won’t give you the natural feel of real hair. The natural pigments used in this treatment are injected into the epidermal layer of the scalp, creating the illusion of natural hair.
Each of these hair restoration options has their own pros and cons and deciding which option is best for you will depend on your specific case as well as your preferences and budget.
The best way to decide which option is right for you is to meet with a hair loss specialist who has the necessary experience and qualifications. Your scalp should be examined and your medical history needs to be reviewed before you should schedule a hair transplant or any other procedure that’s designed to add more volume to your hair.
