If you are experiencing hair loss you know it is no fun and it can cause a lot of embarrassment. Have you ever been called chrome dome or had someone say you look like a light house with the shine on top your head? Everybody laughs at these comments but inside you are dying each time they are uttered. This has got to stop.

There are a lot of procedures and treatments offered as remedies for hair loss. Some of these work well and some of them don’t help at all. An interesting aspect of hair treatments is that not all people react to a particular product in the same way. What works for one guy may not work for another. The answer to hair loss is to find out what works for you.

Below you can read about three of these hair loss treatments that their users claim help to get hair back onto your bald spot. Anecdotal evidence indicates there is a growing of hair when they are used as suggested. The most effective thing for you to do would be to find out for yourself which one works the best.

The first I am going to talk about is a natural hair supplement. The Saw Palmetto extract has been used for years in the Southern US. Originally utilized by the Native Americas to treat male urinary problems, it seems to affect hair loss the same way the FDA approved drug Finasteride does. Both lower the amount of DHT in the blood stream.

The second hair loss method is actually hair implant surgery. This procedure involves taking hair follicle units from an area of the scalp with good hair growth and placing them into the bald area. Men generally do not lose there hair at the back of the head so this works as a great donor area. Originally these were called hair plugs because of how they looked but new techniques have allowed for a very natural looking result now.

Basically, there are two methods of hair implantation. The first involves actually removing a section of scalp that still has hair growth. The hair units are then removed from this strip and the doctor places them into the scalp in a way that matches the surround hair.

The second implant method is follicular unit extraction. With this process the doctor can remove individual hair follicles directly from the skin and then transplant them to the bald area. With this method hairs from other parts of the body can also be utilized.

The last method involves a medical device known as the laser comb. The laser comb, or laser brush, is comprised of a series of low level lasers. According to its users the low level light therapy stimulates hair growth in the scalp. The US FDA has stated the device will cause no harm but they are waiting for research results before they certify its efficacy. Users of the device, on the other hand, swear by its use.

These are three of the many, many possibilities for ways to help you grow hair. You can put a stop to the jokes, and laughter at your expense, today. Check out these and other possibilities and find out what works for you today. You deserve a full head of hair.
