Hair
Transplantation If
you are prepared to pay up to $15,000 and wait between one and two
years this is worth considering.
It is the
only method which can be considered "permanent"!
Hair follicles
on the sides and back of the scalp are redistributed in balding
areas.
About 12
to 20 hairs are plugged into a small cylindrical hole in the
balding region of the scalp.
50 to 60
plugs can be made in each session.
At
least 3 months are allowed to elapse between sessions.
Scalp Reduction
This method is recommended for men with bald spots
less than 3 inches in diameter.
A section of bald scalp is removed and the sides
of the scalp are lifted and sewn together. This can cost over $1,500
for each procedure.
Tissue Expansion
Hair-bearing skin is stretched by having silicone
bags inserted underneath which are then gradually filled with a
saline water over a six week period.
This hair-bearing skin is thus stretched and later
can be lifted and moved to a balding area.
Many find this procedure embarrassing due to the
"balloons" on their heads.
The cost for this procedure averages out at around
$4,000.
