There are some medical and treatments that induce hair loss in women and men; and on its termination, hair starts growing back. Similarly, some medical conditions induce male hair loss and on treating this, hair starts growing back. In such areas, there is no specific need of hair loss treatment or hair replacement. Sometimes, heredity also induces pattern baldness in men and there is nothing much that can be done to treat the condition.

There are numerous hair replacement and medical hair restoration techniques used in surgery where sometimes two or more techniques are used to get the best results from the surgery. Transplant techniques like mini-grafts, micro-grafts, slit grafts, punch grafts and strip grafts are better for patients needing a modest change in their hair fullness. However, those who need a more dramatic change should try out flaps, scalp reduction and tissue expansion. People with very little hair are better off avoiding hair replacement surgery.

This procedure is safe if done by a qualified and experienced physician. However as different people differ in their physical reactions and healing abilities, it is rather difficult to predict the outcome of hair replacement in men and women. Moreover, like all surgical procedures, there is a chance of an infection taking place, excessive bleeding and scars occurring with hair replacement

Male hair loss treatments are available as topical applications like minoxidil, which is applied on the scalp. It is found in various names in the market and claims to slow hair loss. Finasteride is another treatment taken as a tablet that slows hair fall and promotes hair growth in some men. Most topical solutions for male pattern baldness are centered around disrupting the effects of DHT, in other words, acting as a DHT Blocker on the hair follicle, which delays deterioration.

Sometimes it may be necessary to adopt surgical methods like hair transplant surgery or hair replacement where hair from other parts of the body is removed and replanted on the affected area. Scalp reduction is a surgical method where a small part of the good hair area is removed to stretch over areas affected by hair loss. All these hair restoration procedures may not be possible for everyone as these treatments are rather expensive and male pattern baldness, in all seriousness, is simply a natural phenomenon. So one choice is to simply go bald, and to start a fad showing the beauty of baldness.
