Surgery. Hair transplants and scalp reduction are available to treat male pattern baldness when more conservative measures fail. During hair transplantation, tiny plugs of skin containing one to several hairs are taken from the back or the sides of the scalp and are then implanted into the bald sections. Sclap reduction, meanwhile, aims to decrease the area of bald skin on the head by surgery. After the hairless scalp is removed, the space is closed with hair-covered scalp. More and more breakthroughs are being made using different technologies, so ask your doctor which is the right one for you.

Lasercombs are now used in the States as treatment option for male pattern baldness. Laser light is used to stimulate hair growth. It may be used in conjuction with Minoxidil or Finasteride.

Of course, it is mighty best to consult your doctor for recommendations. Dr. Alabanza also reminds that for "treatment options or surgical procedures, consider only board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons to confirm the cause of hair loss and to discuss thoroughly all options available."
