Which hair restoration treatment is best for you depends on the type of hair loss that you have and your budget. Hair transplant surgery is the only permanent hair loss solution, and the best value. Low Level Laser Therapy is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that uses a cold laser to stimulate hair to grow better and increase the quality of your hair, the cost of LLLT is high compared to hair replacement surgery. Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is a non-surgical minimally invasive medical procedure that uses your own blood platelets to help hair quality, the cost is about the same as LLLT and not proven. Rogaine and Propecia are the only FDA approved medications for hair loss. Propecia is a pill that can only be used by men, it is very effective and will cost you about 40.00 a month. Rogaine is a topical solution that can be used by both men and woman, it is the least expensive of all hair restoration treatments and will cost you about 15.00 a month. Hair cloning is not available and is under investigation by numerous companies hoping to cash in on the promise of unlimited hair. The cost of hair cloning will be expensive, probably in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Your type and extent of hair loss determines which hair restoration treatment is best for you. When you see a board certified hair restoration surgeon to discuss your hair loss he will do a extensive exam of your hair and review your medical history to determine the cause of your hair loss. Once a diagnosis is made a treatment plan can be implemented, this may be a single treatment option or a combination of options.
