Hair loss is a devastating experience that affects one’s personality and self-confidence. According to scientific studies, men are more prone to lose their locks than women. However, there are myriad of hair loss treatments available to choose from and these treatments are primarily divided into two categories- surgical and non-surgical hair replacement therapies. You probably remember your dad or grandpa wearing those obnoxiously fake hair wigs and pieces.  These days, the technology has come a long way with advancement in treatment to provide you with full head of hair. Before undergoing any treatment for hair loss, check out the prime differences between surgical and non-surgical hair replacement. 

Surgical Hair Replacement Types &
Those Who Fit for Them

Hair transplant is one of the most popular surgical hair replacement surgeries. The treatment is considered for men who have been experiencing baldness for years and have lost a large majority of hair.
Scalp Reduction is another surgical hair replacement procedure that is considered well suitable for the candidates having slight balding.

Surgical Hair Loss Treatment Procedures

Hair Transplantation method takes hair follicles from the areas of the scalp that have strong hair growth and transplant them to the balding areas. The hair restoration surgery is considered successful when the client has sufficient hair transplanted. The precious few permanent hairs of yours can be counted in thousands or hundreds that can be lost if they are implanted incorrectly. Therefore, it is must to consider transplantation of donated hair rather than using your own hair.
Scalp stretching procedure is invasive where the bald skin from the scalp is removed and the skin with hair is stretched over the removed area. Therefore, patients with large bald areas cannot consider fit for the treatment.

Surgical Treatment Pros & Cons

Pros

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a modern age advanced non-surgical hair loss therapy, recommended to both men and women of all ages who are in early stage of hair loss.  Patients with areas of ‘weak quality’ hair growth on the scalp where follicles can still be observed and patients with small signs of alopecia areata experience greater success with PRP.

Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatment Procedures
