Advantages and Disadvantages of Nonsurgical Hair Replacement Systems



Australia, (Perth) -- (HAIR-CLINIC-IN-A-BOX.COM) -- {06/05/2013} – Most people who don’t know a condition called alopecia exists probably think that wigs and toupees are mostly used for entertainment purposes only. Hair systems, as what they are called collectively, are non-surgical hair replacement systems that serve a much more meaningful purpose to people with alopecia.

Hair systems have been used ever since recorded history. Until today, they remain as invaluable options for people seeking solutions to cope with hair loss which no form of treatment can get rid of for the time being.

Here are some advantages and disadvantages of hair systems:

Advantages of Hair Systems

Instantaneous Results

Hair replacement systems offer immediate results—which is the best thing about them. Non-surgical hair replacement systems, in particular, provide the most instantaneous results. The better part is that anyone can have them customized and wear them for long periods of time, depending on its quality.

A Patient’s Best Friend

For those who are only suffering from temporary hair loss due to  a serious medical problem such as cancer or thyroid problems, hair systems are the real deal. They are also the best choices for people who can’t undergo a surgical hair replacement due to their lack of donor hair. Likewise, it is the best option for people with other forms of alopecia such as alopecia areata or alopecia totalis.

Lower Cost (Initially) 

Maintaining a hair system can be a financial burden overtime since they require replacing, repairing, washing, etc. In fact, its maintenance costs can be higher than getting a hair surgery. However, because of the initially lower cost and absence of risks (as compared to a surgical hair replacement), many people get their own customized hair system. Aside from that, hair systems can be easily let go especially as a person ages, that is, when self-consciousness no longer matters.

Disadvantages of Hair Systems

Fear of Discovery

For wearers, it can be difficult for them to admit to other people that they are wearing a wig or a toupee. Even if hair systems nowadays are of great quality, there is no assurance that a hair system can go completely undetected by probing eyes. With high quality, a hair system can look very nearly natural on the wearer.
Keeping Up with Existing Hair

As the natural existing hair grows, there might arise a need to constantly get a hairstyle so that the hair system can blend well, and thus look natural. As the patient ages, he or she may have to adjust to gray hairs as well.

Requires Maintenance

Giving a wig or a toupee a constant upkeep is costly but essential. It requires frequent retightening, washing, and cleaning.

Disguising the Odor

Because hair systems must be vacuum-fit on the scalp, bacteria on exfoliated skin and excess sebum can increase, causing an unpleasant odor that the scalp will eventually emit. With frequent cleaning, however, this can be avoided.
