With current alopecia medications severely limited in their success at arresting alopecia conditions, technological advancements within the non surgical hair replacement field make such a procedure a realistic option for those requiring significant hair restorations.

Hair transplantation is a trusted technique for redistributing hair. There are limitations and the procedure is not always viable.

Non surgical hair replacement procedures join a thin transparent layer of polyurethane to the scalp making a tight membrane which acts as 'a second layer of skin'. The hair replacement membrane will have previously been implanted with human hair, customised to create a near as possible match with the patients actual hair characteristics. These detailed design specifications include a site specific colour match, density selection, direction of implant, hair wave, crown and parting breaks.

Following the initial design stage with Uber Hair Solutions, a good hair replacement system can take up to eight weeks to produce with hairs individually knotted, or injected, into the base membrane.

Uber Hair Solutions offers the most undetectable, lightweight and revolutionary hair replacement systems that provide a fine layer of skin that literally becomes an extension to the epidermis. The transparent polyurethane membrane, known as liquid skin, allows the patients underlying scalp skin to be visible, providing a normal appearance at the crown and partings. Undoubtedly the vigour of modern non surgical hair replacement is its non-intrusive attachment, enabling the users to participate in sporting and water activities with complete reassurance and confidence. non surgical hair replacement procedures are the choice of a number of celebrities and sportswomen.

Continued technological advancements have culminated in modern hair replacement systems that supersede the infamous wigs of yesteryear. Users of hair replacement systems find traditional terminology such as hair piece, toupee and wig derogatory to the quality and concept of modern hair replacement systems. The non surgical hair replacement procedure is after all a far superior and more advanced version of the original hair piece.

Construction of the membrane involves creating a template, or mould, of the patients scalp. Producing an identical replication of the scalps contours forms an imprint that is utilised for the construction of the transparent polyurethane layer. This ensures a great fit with the area of scalp requiring hair replacement.

Customised scalp templates enable hair replacement in only the scalp area subject to hair loss. Thus patients can successfully restore bi-lateral temporal recession, crown (vertex) thinning, and in more advanced cases enable the gradual restoration of a full head of hair.

Off-the-Shelf membranes are sometimes available at a cheaper cost, though these standard sized bases provide an inadequate integration where accuracy of fit within the area of hair replacement needs to be extremely precise.

Modern hair replacement techniques bond the hair replacement system to the scalp with a translucent, hypoallergenic medical adhesive. This gives a skin-tight adhesion with the perimeter of healthy terminal hairs, shaven to 2mm, surrounding the area requiring replacement. The procedure is not painfull, non-intrusive and the adhesive is resilient to sweat and water. A porous membrane allows the epidermis to breath and aids cleanliness.

Following reattachment of the system, the existing scalp hair needs to be re-blended to give a great integration. An alternative to perimeter attachment is full head bonding which enables the hair replacement system to be attached to the scalp.

The most technologically advanced membranes presently available are polyurethane, monofilament and lace. Any prospective non surgical hair replacement patient should ensure that the membrane is one of the aforementioned base types. In summary, Polyurethane provides a transparent, super-thin layer and is optimal in terms of undetectability to both touch and sight. Monofilament is a porous material preferable for those that require the skin to breath and benefit from additional cleanliness.

Lace will form the front hair line in the most sophisticated hair replacement systems softening the front hair line and giving the appearance of hair growing from the skin when brushed away from the temples and forehead.

Human hair is the better choice when selecting hair fibre though it is more expensive than the synthetic alternatives. Human hair is natural and compatible with all products and grooming procedures acceptable to real hair. Synthetic hair can burn or melt when subject to straightening and curling irons and is susceptible to matting if mistreated or subject to hot water and harsh detergents. Once educated in care and treatment, synthetic fibre is suitable for patients seeking a cheaper hair replacement system. A human and synthetic fibre mix is often a good alternative.

Whilst modern technology has enabled the creation of the most fully realistic, undetectable hair replacement systems to date, one should not underestimate the importance attached to the creative skill of those performing the procedure. Specific training and hairdressing excellence is required to perform the procedure of designing, cutting and blending a hair replacement system with the patient’s own existing hair.

An experienced stylist will accurately design the directional implantation to accurately integrate with the existing hair. Detailed attention should be given to the membrane design and hair characteristics.

Non surgical hair replacement is not a single procedure that will last for life. Individual hair replacement systems have a life span of up to one year and future hair replacement systems will be required with new templates to take account of any further hair loss. A less frequent replacement of membranes will compromise the hair replacement systems undetectable appearance due to the occurrence of discolouration, weathering and shedding over time.

Non surgical hair replacement is a suitable technique for a number of alopecia conditions including androgenetic, or hereditary hair loss, totalis and universalis amongst others.
