If you belong to the group of people who battle with thinning hairline, finding and deciding on which treatment could be difficult for you.
That is if you do not know your treatment options.
Basically, treatment of thinning hairline can be categorized into two: Surgical and Non- surgical methods.
Surgical method typically involves hair transplantation wherein hair is implanted to the thinning or balding hairline in the hope that it will jumpstart a growth of new healthy hair.
Hair transplantation has three types of surgery in addressing the problem of thinning hairline.
First is Scalp Reduction wherein the scalp with a scarce growth of hair is removed and covered with a hair bearing scalp which is stretched to tighten the scalp for a natural, even look.
The second type of hair transplant method is called Follicular Unit Strip Surgery wherein a strip of hair is implanted on the thinning area.
This procedure allows for several strips of hair grafting in a single session making it the best for average balding cases.
Both Scalp Reduction and Follicular Unit Strip Surgery require several days to heal after the completion of surgery.
The third and most popular type of hair transplantation is Follicular Unit Extraction wherein one to four strands of hair are transplanted to the thinning hairline.
It follows the normal pattern of hair growth which makes way for a very natural look.
Because it needs not to have deep cuts to plant the hair strands, recovery time is lesser compared to the first two.
When it comes to thinning hairline treatments, more people look first for the non surgical methods rather than automatically opt for the surgical means.
Non surgical hair thinning treatments vary from medications, hair care products, laser therapies, and scalp treatments.
Medicines that contain dihydrotestosterone (DHT) blockers prevent the antagonizing action of DHT to the hair follicles preventing hair loss.
Innovative hair care products such as shampoos and creams contain vitamins and minerals that make the scalp healthy and allows for re-growing of healthy hair.
Laser therapies are extremely popular due to its non invasive use of light beams to promote better circulation and stimulation of the hair follicles.
A less expensive method to improve the circulation of blood in the scalp is through scalp treatments that involve traditional head massages that also relax the patient throughout the whole session.
For people who do not shun artificial aesthetic ways to treat thinning hairline, a very economical and practical way is to "hide" the problem.
Changing and correcting hair color, applying highlights, creative cuts and hair-do's, the possibility is endless depending on your choice of style.
All in all you have a lot of hair thinning treatments to choose from that depends on your preference to either go au naturale with the non surgical methods or choose the more modern approach of hair transplantation.
Anyway, what would matter in the end is that not only you have the chance to restore your hairline but you get to improve your self confidence as well.
