Thinning Hair? Read This Before You Invest In A Hair Replacement System!

When someone first notices their thinning hair, they often jump straight to shopping for a hair replacement system believing that it is a quick fix option. This is not the case, however. Hair replacement systems lose hair during everyday wear and must be replaced periodically. They may actually need anywhere from two to eight systems every year. An average man will spend between $3000 to $6000 a year just on the hair, not counting the cost of services.

Fortunately, there are other options available that can actually regrow your own hair! Just because you have thinning hair doesn’t mean that the bulbs the hair grows from are really dead. The bulb goes dormant for 3-5 years before it is no longer capable of producing hair. So if you want to look the way you did 3-5 years ago, you may be able to save thousands of dollars by trying Nioxin shampoo and conditioner, Rogaine or Propecia, and laser therapy for a year before you resort to a hair replacement system. Using all 3 methods at once has shown to be successful in most types of hair loss.

Laser Therapy For Thinning Hair

HairMax and Capillus are two treatments that both use the process of photobiostimulation, which delivers low-level laser light therapy (LLLLT) to your hair follicles to activate them for hair regrowth. LLLLT works for both men and women with thinning hair.

These laser treatments have an 80% success rate if done properly. You may read some bad reviews of these therapies, but that is primarily because almost all of those reviews are from people that did not complete a full year of treatment. You can actually experience more hair loss in the beginning and not see the real results for about 12 months.

Measuring Results

Another reason for poor reviews is that many people do not take a baseline photo on day 1.

The hair growth is so gradual, most people won’t notice it unless they see a picture. At Distinguished Gentleman, we suggest taking a photo with wet hair under the same lighting and with the same hair length on day 1 and at 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year.

We have many young men who only see us for haircuts now because they corrected their thinning hair early and no longer need hair replacement.
