Artificial Hair Fibers Implant & Its Many Names

Artificial hair fibers implant is also called artificial hair implant, synthetic hair implant, Biofibre, Medicap treatment as well as Nido but they all mean the same thing. Do not be confused that you are getting a different treatment because they are all essentially the same technique for hair restoration. Sometimes artificial hair fibers implant is also referred to as prosthetic hair fibers. Generally speaking, most people tend to refer to these treatments as artificial hair implants or synthetic hair implants.

What is Artificial Hair Fibers Implant or Synthetic Hair Implant?

What is artificial hair fibers implant or synthetic hair implant? As the name denotes, these are artificially created substances that look like human hair for the purpose of treating men and women with hair loss. Artificial hair fibers implant is done one strand at a time. It is implanted into the patient's scalp through the galea layer. The insertion is secured by a knot with the help of a synthetic hair implant device. Galea is a layer of connective tissue that forms the middle (third) layer of the scalp. It is a surgical procedure but some companies market this misleadingly as non surgical arguing that the artificial hair fibers do not penetrate the scalp that deep to be labled as surgical.

Because artificial hair fibers implant or synthetic hair implant use fake hair to restore baldness, the hair you get from artificial hair fibers implant or syntehtic hair implant will not grow long.
