Male pattern baldness is one of the largest industries, both for products and research. Just like any industry that gets a lot of attention there are more scams than actual solutions, because people are willing to make a buck off those that are desperate. Hair plugs have been around for over fifty years and while they were not a good solution when first introduced they have grown into one of the best means of curing baldness. Your hair is important and before you think that $19.95 special on TV is what you want to try next, you should consider a permanent solution that has proven results.
The biggest problem with baldness is that it causes people to become desperate in search of a solution, and if you have desperate people, you have scam artists that are ready to take advantage of. One good example is spray on hair. The infomercial looked promising and the price was right and it caused a lot of people to buy it, even though it was a terrible product and looked worse than a bad toupee. Like many products, you can’t believe what you see on TV.
Hair plugs originally got their name from when the treatment was first discovered. Due to plastic surgery being a new technology, the transplanting of hair looked a lot like hairs were plugged into the scalp. The difference between the original hair plugs and the treatment received today are drastically different, in fact the now call it hair micro-transplantation. Instead of a few hairs being “plugged” into the scalp, a surgeon will now transplants thousands of hairs into the bald area. The best part is that even under close scrutiny the hairs will appear to be real, not to mention the surgeon can even cause the hair to behave the same way hair would that usually grows in that area.
Hair plugs have come a long way and is a permanent solution to baldness and without looking at your medical records, no one will be the wiser that you were ever bald. Unlike fly by night operations that are most interested in your money than an actual cure, hair micro-transplantation will create a realistic and healthy set of hair that you will be proud to show off. Your hair is important and there isn’t an overnight miracle cure that comes in an aerosol spray. Taking care of your scalp is important and treating it to strange chemicals that you can’t pronounce will just lead to more problems and not a solution.
