    Synthetic Hair implants

    Has anyone tried Synthetic Hair implants?

    I have heard a lot of bad stories about them. But was wondering if the technology has improved over the years and if its an option worth considering.

    Thanks

    NO!
    Synthetic hair implants can not work because the body rejects them and if it didn't reject them, they would have to be replaced in time due to degrading and color changes.

      Thanks for your reply.

      If they were so bad how come they are still being advertised.
      Ive seen a few sites that claim that they use new technology.

      It sounds pretty attractive compared to hair transplants.
      But only if it works.

        Synthetic is probably not a good long term solution to hair loss. I have seen some results that look impressive initially, but in almost all cases the patient has problems in the long run. Every patient I have encountered that tried synthetic hair implants regretted it at some point.
