Hair Transplants

• Hair transplants consist of removal of tiny plugs of hair from areas where the hair is continuing to grow and placing them in areas that are balding. This can cause minor scarring in the donor areas and carries a modest risk for skin infection. The procedure usually requires multiple transplantation sessions and may be expensive. Results, however, are often excellent and permanent.
  
• Hair weaving, hairpieces, or change of hairstyle may disguise the hair loss. This is usually the least expensive and safest treatment for male pattern baldness.
  
• Non-surgical Implants - This is the most common procedure performed by the major hair replacement companies and is a service that is offered by Hair Club for Men and Hans Wiemann in St. Louis. In all actuality the term Non-Surgical Implant is a term that was invented to disguise a simple procedure with some updated variations that hair replacement organizations have been performing for years.

Actually, a non surgical implant is accomplished by attaching a hair system (the hair appears to grow directly from your own scalp) to existing hair with a surgical type glue and then cutting the hair so that it blends in with the already healthy growing hair. By using human hair and coloring it to match existing hair the system really can and normally does look totally natural. This procedure is not near as expensive as surgical hair implantation but it does require constant maintenance that can be on the pricey side.

• Haircuts need to be done by the hair replacement company because the system is removed at that time, thoroughly cleaned, a scalp treatment is done to keep the scalp healthy, additional hair and color can be added to the system if necessary, and the system is then re-implanted with surgical glue. Haircuts normally run $65.00 to $75.00 plus tip.
  
• Since the hair system is not living hair it does need special attention and special hair care products that are available from the hair replacement company. These products are a little more expensive than shampoos, conditioners, etc. that you would normally buy from your grocery store or a beauty supply store.
  
• Hair systems normally need to be replaced anywhere from four to six times per year. Again, this is not growing, living hair so it does become brittle and there is also hair loss even when good care is exercised.
