But, if you have had hair shedding for a while and most of the top or crown of your head is bald then a lotion or remedy is not going to do you much good.There is a simple reason this is so.For 95% of the men who lose their hair the cause is male pattern baldness.This is a genetic condition that results in the hair follicles in certain areas of the scalp being rendered ineffective at manufacturing keratin which is the material hair shafts are made of.Once this happens to the follicle there is nothing you can do short of replacing those hair follicles with healthy ones.

This is accomplished with hair replacement using the hair transplantation method.The hair transplant cost is fairly expensive but it is well worth it if you want to have hair growth return to your head.When this procedure is performed a cosmetic surgeon will actually remove hair follicles from one area of the scalp and implant them into the balding area.Generally, men suffering from pattern baldness will still have good hair growth at the back of their head which will give the surgeon ample hair follicles to choose from.He or she can then insert those follicles into the balding area giving you a full head of hair once again.

The hair replacement cost per graft varies depending on several factors including geographical location, urban or suburban area and the experience of the surgeon.You can expect to be quoted a range of $3 to $7 per hair replacement graft unit.  This translates to an average overall cost of between $2,500 to $9,000. While this may seem really expensive, when compared with other hair replacement procedures that require a lot of upkeep, it is actually one of the cheaper options in the long run.  Right now it is easy to get a discount because the poor economy has really battered the cosmetic surgery business.
