Non-Surgical Hair Restoration  

For men or women who are looking for non-surgical methods of hair restoration, there are a number of different options. Not all solutions are right for everyone, and one has to be careful to understand the details of the product or procedure in order to achieve success. There are a lot of claims for products on the market, and the consumer has to read the facts carefully to make sure the results are what they are looking for.

Hair Loss Prevention and Restoration Products 

A number of products on the market today make claims that they are able to prevent hair loss and even restore hair that has already been lost. While some of these products do work, others have not yet been properly tested by the FDA or other clinical testing methods to determine their results and safety. However, there are several products on the market that have been tested and proven to help slow the loss of hair and even restore hair. One of the least expensive and easiest to use products is Minoxidil, which is the active ingredient in many topical hair loss prevention products. Minoxidil has been found to be effective and safe, and can work to slow hair loss and restore growth. However, just as is the case with most products, some people find this product more effective than others. It is a non-invasive method that is definitely worth a try before other more costly products and methods are explored. For those who are looking for a medication that can help with hair loss, Finasteride is a viable option. Sold under the name Propecia, this product has been tested and proven to reduce hair loss, and can help to restore lost hair in some cases. There are of course other products that are currently being tested, which may eventually be found to be helpful as well.

Laser Treatments for Hair Loss 

Laser treatments are beginning to show great promise as a solution for hair loss and hair regeneration. By using low-level laser treatments, the blood flow to the hair follicles can be increased, which can stimulate new growth. Initial tests have shown these treatments to be especially effective when combined with other hair re-growth products such as Minoxidil and Finasteride. One device that is currently available for home use is the laser comb. Although designed to help accelerate the healing process after hair transplant operations, some people feel that the laser comb can also help stimulate the hair follicles, thus stimulating hair growth.

Hair Pieces 

Hair pieces have been improved over the years to the point where they can realistically replace or supplement a person's natural hair. Made from a variety of materials, they are now designed to produce a natural-looking hairline. Hair pieces and wigs are a more realistic and viable method of hair replacement than in the past, thanks to new methods of attaching human or realistic synthetic hair to the hair base. Especially when other hair restoration methods have failed, hair pieces can be highly effective.
