For both men and women who are experiencing baldness or p\u00e9rdida de cabello<\/a>, it\u2019s good to know that you have options available to retain or maintain a certain aesthetic look. From medications and tonics to treatment procedures, there are a lot of options available for hair restoration. Many people get confused about the difference between hair plugs and trasplantes de cabello<\/a><\/strong>, as learning medical terminology can often be confusing when there are similar sounding treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair plugs are a form of transplante de cabello<\/a>, which many people may not have known until now. Hair transplant technology has come a long way to help restore people\u2019s confidence and self-esteem. In the 1950s hair plugs were first used instead of follicular unit strip surgery<\/a> (FUS), which started to gain traction in the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are Hair Plugs?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hair plugs refer to the grouping of hairs that would be inserted into the scalp. Or Simply, hair plugs are round grafts of hair<\/a><\/strong> inserted into the scalp. The number of hair plugs used depends on the person\u2019s specific case, mostly, how much hair loss is there (baldness), and what color the hair is. The plugs all differ by the shape and number of fol\u00edculos capilares<\/a> they consist of. Often times, the hair plugs look and behave like real hair does, but sometimes if not done properly it can look fake, and unnatural, due to the way the hair grows. In other words, the newly transplanted hair does not always mimic the natural growth of our hair and the fact that you have plugs can begin to look quite obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, modern hair restoration and transplantation has evolved to Extracci\u00f3n de Unidades Foliculares<\/a> (FUE), which is a hair transplant technology<\/a> that aims to give balding people with hair loss the most natural looking hair possible. During the FUE procedure, hair grafts consisting of a small number of hair follicles<\/strong>. It’s removed from donor sites, from other areas of your body, and transplanted to the balding areas of your head. This is your real hair, not some artificial plug that you have to worry about looking fake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
