There are a number of hair replacement techniques that are available:
Hair Transplantation
During hair transplantation, the surgeon removes small pieces of hair-bearing scalp grafts from the back or sides of the head. These grafts are then relocated to a bald or thinning area. The results are permaneant, look pretty natural and can be treated afterward as natural hair. The price of these operations ranges from $2000 – $10000, although most surgeons offer some financing options.
Medications:
Finasteride (Propecia™)
Procecia is a once a day pill and is clinically proven to maintain your hair count and even regrow hair at the crown and on the top of your head. It has no effect on hairline balding. It is available by prescription only, costs about $75 monthly and is covered by no insurance plans. Once your discontinue taking Propecia, any new hair you regrew will fall out.
minoxidil (Rogaine™)
Minoxidil or Rogaine is topical solution that must be applied to the balding area twice a day, every day. Decreasing the dosage to once a day results in some hair loss, and discontinuing application causes regression to pretreatment baldness.
Personally, I would ask yourself what your goals are and how much you’re willing to spend. If you really want to keep your hair, transplant surgery is the only real long term solution and is more cost effective if you consider the money saved on propecia or rogaine.
If staving off your hairloss for 5 years or less is your main goal, then medical treatment is a completely satisfactory option. For maximum effective treatment I would recommend using extra strength rogaine and propecia.
