Hair Loss Treatment:
|
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 hair loss treatment 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 particular hair loss treatment averages out at around $4,000.
