Androgenic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness, is a common part of aging as nearly 95 percent of men are affected by it. Many have a genetic predisposition to the condition. If your father and grandfather experienced hair loss, chances are you will too. Other factors can contribute to hair loss even earlier in an individual’s lifetime, such as a change in diet, intense periods of stress, or illness, and the medication one may take for it. Fortunately, there are several Men’s hair solutions available to help regrow or reestablish hair and help improve the confidence of those suffering from androgenic alopecia or any other form of hair loss.

Micropigmentation

Micropigmentation is a long-lasting method of giving those with thinning hair the look of realistic hair density and fullness by using a meticulous pigment-insertion technique at the scalp to provide the illusion of shadows and dimension. Unlike artistic tattoos, this process is done by medical professionals who use hypoallergenic needles and mineral pigments instead of ink, resulting in a subtle and natural difference that lasts years. 

Pros

  • Minimal pain during and after the procedure
  • Lasts years
  • Natural-looking

Cons

  • Can be expensive
  • Cannot shower for a few days after the procedure
  • Mostly used for thinning or patchy hair, less common for severe balding

Laser Hair Therapy

This non-surgical approach to scalp therapy uses low-level lasers to stimulate blood flow and hair growth in bald or thinning areas. It is not painful at all and does not use thermal energy to trap heat. Patients will need multiple treatments, but most see improvements after just a few weeks.

Pros

  • Improves hair strength and elasticity
  • Promotes hair thickness and health
  • A non-surgical, non-invasive procedure
  • Repairs damage caused by chemicals

Cons

  • Requires regular treatments to see improvements
  • Indefinite treatments needed to keep seeing results

Graftique

This hair replacement method uses a non-surgical hair graft that replicates a realistic hairline and style. It feels as comfortable as it looks, thanks to the undetectable mesh cap beneath. The hair can be cut, colored, and styled as needed and is indistinguishable from natural hair.

Pros

  • Non-surgical and non-invasive
  • Comfortable
  • Natural-looking
  • Customizable

Cons

  • A hair replacement rather than natural growth
  • Requires maintenance
  • Repeat buying when the hairpiece wears down
  • Haircuts required to match natural hair length to the hairpiece

Folligraft

For those suffering from hair loss or thinning due to chemotherapy, the folligraft method of hair replacement offers an innovative way of blending your natural hair with the hairpiece by using a very porous membrane rather than mesh. It provides a skin-like appearance and uses hair that matches your natural hair.

Pros

  • Non-surgical and non-invasive
  • Comfortable
  • Natural-looking
  • Customizable

Cons

  • A hair replacement rather than natural growth
  • Repeat buying when the hairpiece wears down
  • Haircuts required to match natural hair length to the hairpiece

Micro Point Link

This technique increases the volume and density of hair, where extensions cannot help. Natural-looking strands of Cyberhair are tied in four tiny knots on your real hair by a professional to achieve realistic density and growth. This procedure is painless and fast, placing over 600 new strands of hair in just an hour.

Pros

  • Quick Procedure
  • Natural-looking
  • Painless

Cons

  • Specifically for thinning hair only
  • Not permanent
  • Regular maintenance and procedures needed

Permagraft

For those suffering from hair thinning, hair loss, or patchiness, permagrafting is yet another non-surgical approach to hair replacement. A light to medium density micro skin membrane allows for breathability and easy blending between the donor hair and your natural hair with the appearance of real hair growth due to the natural-looking upright placement of each individual hair.

Pros

  • Grows with your natural hair
  • Unlimited styling options
  • Natural hair density

Cons

  • Repeat buying when the hairpiece wears down
  • Regular maintenance required
  • Hair replacement rather than natural growth

Cyberhair

This hair replacement system is specifically designed for men with active lifestyles, as it is more heat resistant, durable, and long-lived than human hair. With double the lifespan of human hair and better ability to return to original texture and style, even after getting wet, Cyberhair can bounce back after any activity.

Pros

  • Will not fade or break down like human hair
  • Lightweight and holds texture
  • Natural-looking and high performance

Cons

  • Must be replaced if attached via micro point link
  • Requires maintenance
  • More expensive

Hair Transplants

This diverse technique of hair replacement is the most common among those treating male pattern baldness. The kind of transplant is very personal to the individual’s needs based on hair type, age, health, and the degree of hair loss. An expert surgeon will take all of this into account during a procedure, which mimics the natural pattern of hair growth by transplanting donor hair in groupings of up to three follicles in one graft.

Pros

  • Very realistic results using real human hair
  • Personalized
  • Common method with countless successes

Cons

  • Surgery required
  • Five-day recovery period
