Losing hair is an everyday occurrence. It is normal to see a few hairs on the brush. When those few hairs start accumulating, then you know there is a problem. Losing hair at the front of the head is the worst. Everyone who meets you will be able to see your hairline disappearing. That is definitely not hype. Some people would go for wigs to cover their balding spot. Well it is a solution but a stressing one. You will have to make sure that no matter what it does not fall off. It needs to be maintained properly so that it does not show too much that it's a wig. It's just too artificial. Getting a natural look would mean getting hair plugs.

With hair plugs, your own hair is used to increase your hair volume by the hairline. The technique is surgical and does not need one to go through a stay at the hospital. It is done in a few hours and then you are free to go home. You may even be able to continue with your daily activities as if nothing happened. Within a month your hairline will be looking great and you can hold your head up high.

Surgery is a scary word, but this procedure is absolutely safe. Plugs have a long history dating back to as far as or even further than the 1930's. The Japanese were the first to experiment with transplant hair. They began with the facial area, replacing eyebrows. Since then, plugs have evolved a lot covering up to the scalp. Knowing you are in the hands of a trained dermatologist using a well known method may make it easier on your mind.

You can even discuss with your doctor before deciding on having plug surgery. You need to understand how the procedure will be done. There may be a need for more than one session and your doctor can advise you on the basis of your hair loss. If hair loss is moderate then you will most probably need only one session. There are some side effects that you may experience and the most common are headaches. Recovery period is usually pegged at one to two months. After that period, there should be no sign of pain or discomfort.

The procedure for transplanting hair plugs is not complicated to understand. Pieces of the skin on the scalp are removed where there is active hair growth. These are called plugs. These plugs are then inserted where there is restricted hair growth. The plugs are made up of hair follicles that are still alive and active. They are usually removed from back of the head or neck. This site has resistant and active hair follicles. Long ago, the plugs were larger as were the incisions. Nowadays, surgeons use the micro-surgery technique. This technique is relatively neater and won't leave big ugly scars on your head. The transplanted hairs will start growing naturally like the rest of the hair on your scalp and very soon a thinning hairline will be history.
