    It is a known fact that almost all men will experience baldness to some extent. Whether it is thinning hair, bald spots, or total baldness almost all men have to deal with it. Now that the average age is getting older in the US this is getting to be a big problem. Men do not like going bald. This offers a lot of opportunity for people to sell hair growth treatments. THere are three possible treatments to check out if your are bald.

    The first one is my favorite hair implants. This method offers the longest lasting answer to bald spots. It uses a person’s own hair so there is not a problem with matching. When implants were originated the result were not very pleasing. But with the new procedures this is now a great way to grow hair in a bald spot. With this method hair follicles are transplanted for one part of your scalp to the bald area. The hair follicles live and grow just like they did in the donor area which looks very natural.

    The next method is hair replacement systems. You probably don’t know them by this name. They are also known as toupee’s. The reason for the name change is the word toupee’ has come to be associated with comedy. How many times has the joke been some man loses his hair in the wind or when he falls in the water? The word itself makes a person laugh because of all the funny images. This really hurts the sales of the companies selling hair pieces. Thus they were forced to come up with a different name. These hair replacement systems can cover a bald spot for much less cost that other methods. They are very well matched to your hair color and texture. Also, the system to attach them is much better than it used to be. These deserve a look if you are on a small budget.

    The third method is the laser comb. I can’t recommend this simply because there have not been scientific studies to prove it works. The anecdotal evidence indicates many men see hair regrowth with this device. But there needs to be studies under scientific scrutiny. The theory seems to make sense. The laser comb heats the scalp which should increase blood flow. Male pattern baldness, which is the primary cause of baldness in men, is caused by decreased blood flow to the hair. Thus it may prove beneficial but we are waiting for scientific substantiation.

    These are three possibilities to help you grow your hair. If you have bald spots you want to treat it because bald men look years older than their actual age. Check out these options and see if any is right for you.
