What is Best: Hair Restoration Surgery or a local wig?

  • 4 min. read

With the evolution in science and technology, managing hair loss has become less difficult. local wigs and hair transplant processes are two of the most popular treatments, and each has pros and cons.


In recent decades the word hairpiece has been used to mean local wig, especially if the item covered up a large part of the scalp. The word itself has been introduced, possibly to add a more bespoken and sophisticated connotation. Other such terminologies include


  • Hair additions.
  • Transformation.
  • Non-surgical hair restorations.
  • A variety of less favorable terms such as units and rugs.

Read on to determine the points of differentiation and pros and cons of Hair Restoration treatments and local wigs for hair loss.


Why opt for Hair Restoration?

Hair restoration is a permanent, real, and often less pricey option than local wigs. The availability of top-notch modern hair restoration surgery means there is no longer the use of local wigs for people who have been through hair loss, be it a pattern of baldness or any other hair fall-related issue.


For a very small number of patients, especially hair loss in men, hair pieces work, which is the ideal solution for their situation either on their own or in addition to hair restoration surgery/ pharmacological treatments.


In many cases, a hair piece is a suitable option, but there are a few reasons why a hair loss treatment is often better than opting for a local wig.

Why opt for Hair Restoration?

Hair restoration treatment is your best alternative if you want to look more natural. These hair strands will eventually grow out naturally, giving you a more distinctive appearance because this treatment involves grafting your natural hair on the balding spots. Unlike maintaining a local wig, the maintenance pressure is minimal, as caring for restored hair is similar to taking care of your natural hair. Hair restoration is considered a permanent and one-time procedure to eliminate hair loss and balding.

Pros and Cons of Hair Restoration

Hair restoration is performed surgically under local anesthesia. Even in the long term, it seems like a great option. Still, it would be best to consider the pros and cons of having hair restoration surgery before committing to it.

Pros

  • Hair restoration is considered a permanent procedure. Unlike a local wig, maintaining a local wig, hair restoration has minimal maintenance pressure. It is like a one-time solution to eliminate hair fall and balding.
  • If you want to go for a more natural look, hair restoration is the go-to option. Since this procedure includes grafting your natural hair on balding areas, these hair strands will eventually grow naturally and give you an original look.

Cons

  • Usually, the recovery time for hair restoration is about 8 to 10 months,
  • It is a comparatively painful procedure and can cause temporary bruising, swelling, and even headaches.

How much will Hair Restoration Surgery Cost?

A huge misconception surrounding hair restoration treatment is that it is a more expensive solution to hair loss, and the local wig is the more affordable approach to dealing with hair loss. The opposite is usually the case. The expense of a hair restoration treatment can fluctuate depending on the number of sessions, degree of hair loss, and a few other factors. However, hair transplant costs in Dubai can be substantially higher, but it's a one-time cost, whereas maintaining a local wig of real hair will be a constantly recurring one!

Temporary baldness

SBS Cosmetic procedure is a more suitable solution than hair restoration surgery for people undergoing childbirth, chemotherapy, fever, or some other stress causing temporary baldness.

Diffuse baldness

In extreme conditions, the pattern of baldness can leave too much scalp to cover, with little hair to do it with. It can happen through diffuse alopecia, alopecia Universalis, alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, or scarring alopecia. Complete baldness or going for an SBS Cosmetic procedure is the only suitable option in each case.

It took me 1 Year to decide whether I wanted to go through with the hair restoration procedure using a Natural Looking Hair piece. I did a lot of research and consulted with many people who had done the procedure.

I was convinced to go ahead due to the information session / in-depth knowledge and the excellent customer service skills of Sanjay- the manager.

I did the procedure 1 month ago and I can honestly say that it was the best decision ever. Advanced Hair Studio provides the best quality for the Hair Pieces. The staff takes the time to understand what you are looking for as a customer. They style your hair based on your facial structure and I must truly admit that their stylists are pure Artists! My favourite stylist is Mohamad from Lebanon. He does magic with his hands and I am always thrilled with the new styles/ suggestions he provides.

I must admit that AHS is on the more expensive side if you were to consider the other competitors in Dubai. However, it is all worth every penny spent! You will not regret it.

Do not over think it. Just go ahead an do the procedure. You will evolve into a whole new person! Believe me! :-)

I started losing my hair in my mid-twenties and in spite of trying all sorts of treatments it gradually got worse and worse. By my late twenties I started cutting my hair short. Whenever I tried to grow it, it used to look a mess and was impossible to style because of my receding and thinning. I was looking at doing a hair transplant for a while, but I kept delaying it in hope that there was some alternative.

When I was in my mid-thirties I first came across AHS. I was a bit skeptical but I thought I’d find out what they could do. I was expecting a sales pitch but what I learned about hair loss and hair restoration from them was presented in a straightforward and logical way, without lots of medical terminology. They take time to explain the root cause of the problem and explore all the different treatments.

I decided to go ahead with the treatment and as it turns out, having AHS fix my hair was one of the best decisions I ever made. I still cannot believe how good my results are. I just wish I’d done it 10 years earlier rather than wasting so much time (and hair!). I would urge anyone who is thinking of doing something to check them out.
