Hair Transplant ? For Self-Image

2009-05-04T22:38:00.000-07:00

Hair transplant is one way that many are gaining their self-esteem back. Self-Image is a very important thing to have. To an extent, it dictates where you are going in life. Your self-image is made up of more than just your physical appearance, but that is a major component. If it takes hair transplant to get you back on a positive attitude in that regard, then you should do it.

Some men are perfectly content with less hair than they once had. Some are even lucky enough to look good bald. Unfortunately, these are the few. The rest of the many people who are losing their hair are losing their looks and confidence too. When you have plenty of confidence, you show it. People know that you mean business and that you expect to get what you want and need. And you usually do. However, when you walk into a place worrying how you look, or doubting yourself, you aren?t likely to project a strong image. And you are much less likely to get what you need, want, and deserve. This is why many people turn to hair transplant options.

If having a full head of hair again will give you that confidence you need to get around in life, then you should pursue it. Not for anyone else, but for you. Before you decide to do hair transplant, you should look at your options. If a wig is all you need, more power to you. However, many wigs look way to obvious to do a lot of good in this area. You can also talk to your doctor about treatments for natural hair re-growth. However, make sure that you understand all possible side-effects before you start taking it.

When all else fails, there are hair transplant options. And thanks to modern technology, it is actually possible without scarring. But before you commit, make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into. Find out what can go wrong, and what your chances are. Also ask about how long the procedures will take and any recovery times. Be informed.

Next, you should find out who you want to do it. Look at people who do hair transplant options and find out about them. You can even go visit with them and ask to see previous work that they have done if they have it available. If you know anyone who has had it done, see who they would or wouldn?t recommend. After you have all the information that you can get, go and retrieve your self-confidence with hair transplant technology.

Frontal Hair Transplants: The Art of Getting the Perfect Hairline

2009-04-03T05:02:00.000-07:00

So you do not want to look like Homer Simpson, and you miss the old days when you have hair falling in front of your face, unlike now that your hairline has receded. And you really, really would rather not have a hairpiece or a toupee, since everybody can spot those, or if not, sooner or later they will know you are wearing one and that is just embarrassing. The good thing is that now you have an alternative ? one that looks and feels just like the real thing, the way it used to be.

Frontal hair transplants have been a problem for most because it looked unnatural to suddenly have hair sprouting at the faint line demarcating your forehead and scalp. But since the arrival of micrografts, it has been possible to mimic and restore natural hair patterns. It is because micrografts are smaller transplant units that have only one to four hair follicles, recreating that natural hair growth. These micrografts are made with your own hair, and are designed to be plant on your scalp to grow on their own. The effect is that they will overpower the parts that no longer grow hair so that you can have natural hair once again.

Be wary of getting frontal hair transplants, and be sure to get a surgeon who is not only a specialist but also has an eye for detail and aesthetic sense since recreating the hairline is a delicate matter. Your hairline is a part of your face, and as such lends character to your expressions. You don?t want a hairline that looks unnatural that people are unable to look at you, would you?

My Hair Transplant Experience

2009-03-31T03:20:00.000-07:00

The day of my procedure ? February 20, 2006

I arrived at the office at 7:45 a.m., after a good breakfast, in plenty of time to put on an OR gown, take a relaxant and get into the operating room. Having performed about 2,000 to 3,000 procedures, I must say, I more than know what to expect. It is different going through it yourself, though, and my stomach felt a bit queasy prior to starting. I then lay face down with my head in a doughnut pillow, designed to expose the back of the head so the strip can be cut. Many patients ask why I had the strip done rather than FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). Two reasons: The first is that I didn?t want to shave my head. The second is that I have seen the scars using the Trichophytic closure technique, and they are acceptable to me for the length I keep my hair. The removal of the strip took about 20 minutes. The only uncomfortable part was during the numbing or freezing, and it only lasted two to three minutes.

I was then given a chance to relax and stretch a bit, prior to the recipient sites being made. After about 10 minutes and a bathroom break, I sat on the edge of the bed and with the aid of my surgeon, designed my hairline and decided where the grafts were going to be put. My hairline has always been fairly high in the temporal angle, and I didn?t really want to change this. After we did this, I lay flat on my back and allowed my staff to numb me up, the second part of the procedure that was a bit uncomfortable. This only lasted two to three minutes as well. My surgeon started by making about half the recipient sites, and then I put on a movie and relaxed while the grafts were being inserted. This all started at about 9:30 a.m. Over the next four to five hours, I went through two movies, and became a bit impatient waiting for the final grafts to be inserted. Finally, the last graft was put in and I was able to think about going home. Before getting off the bed, my nurse, Linda, injected my incision with a long-acting anesthetic, Marcaine. I had no pain the morning after the numbing of the hairline, and at this point my whole head felt numb. After spending a half an hour in my office answering email, I hopped in my car and drove home. It is amazing how well I felt. I was able to carry on fairly normal activities for the rest of the day and had dinner and spent the evening with my family. I took some special sheets home from the office (we provide them for patients) to cover my pillow before going to sleep that night. This prevents spots of dried blood getting on the pillow cover.

The day after

I managed to sleep through the entire night, and woke up at about 6 a.m., a half an hour before I needed to be up. I sensed some movement on the other side of the bed, so I thought it may be an appropriate time to see if everything was in working order, so managed to seduce my lovely wife into some passionate lovemaking. I don?t normally recommend this to patients, but under the circumstances, I couldn?t resist. I had a good breakfast and went off to the office to see some consults. I spent the whole day seeing patients and had yet to take a painkiller. I arrived home at about 5:30 p.m., a little beat up. At this point I was feeling some pain on my donor site, so I took two extra strength Tylenols and had a two-hour sleep. I awoke at about 7:30 or 8 p.m., just when the basketball game was starting. The Raptors were playing the Grizzlies, so my son and I watched the game. The Raptors lost 94-88! After the game, I took two more extra strength Tylenols and went to sleep. These were the only four painkillers I took!

The week after

The next few days were pretty normal in terms of activity. On Wednesday, I did a hair transplant, and Wednesday evening, I had some friends over to my house for a poker game. I even had two beers. On Thursday, I did a 10 km run (I was training for the Big Sur Marathon and wanted to take as little time off as possible). I managed a 20 km run on the Saturday, and worked a full day on the Friday. The procedure involved about three days' downtime, which seemed a small price to pay for more hair.

Up to three months

This period is the hardest one to go through after a hair transplant. After a few weeks, the hair sheds, and there is usually a bit of ?shock loss?, or loss of existing hair. This means that you look worse than you do before the procedure. Since we all do this to look better, it?s hard to be patient waiting for the new hair to grow! Finally, at three months the hair begins to sprout!

Three months onward

Growth begins. From this point on, every morning I couldn?t wait to look at my new hair, and feel the stubble growing in. For once in the past 20 years, there seemed to be a reversal of the aging process! From this point up until today, at about 8 or 9 months, there was a huge change in the amount of hair on top of my head, as you can see from the pictures. As the scar on the back of my head healed, the hair actually grew through the scar. The Trichophytic closure technique used, as described in another section of the book, works in making the scar almost invisible.

A lot of patients ask why I elected to have the strip procedure rather than the FUE technique that I helped to pioneer. The almost invisible scar doesn?t bother me, and given that I have no plans to ever shave my head, I thought this was the best option for me.

The decision to have a hair transplant is one I will never regret. The added hair and the ability to empathize with patients going through the procedure have been well worth the inconvenience of going through this minor surgical procedure.

Expectations For San Diego Hair Transplants

2009-03-23T06:10:00.000-07:00

There are a few different avenues open to those who wish to do something about their hair loss. This can be everything from change a diet, taking supplements or topical solutions to stop or even reverse the hair loss. Perhaps the method with the most proven methods for hair restoration is that of the surgical hair transplant. San Diego hair transplants are no different from transplants all over the country, but they are more prevalent in California.

San Diego is one of the most popular cities in California, and there are numerous places where one can have the hair transplant procedure done. The question is though, what can one expect? Below is a simple walk through of a typical procedure for San Diego hair transplants.

The first thing to expect when you walk into a hair transplant office for San Diego hair transplants, is to sit down with a medical professional and have a nice long talk about what to expect, how you will be charged, what the risks might be, and what the results will likely be. Pay attention during this time, since this is a great time to get the necessary information to make you feel at ease.

Once both you and the doctor are comfortable with the procedure and how you will react to it, an appointment at the clinic can be made. Often these are performed at the office where you would have your initial consultation, but on occasion they will utilize a nearby hospital in San Diego. No matter where the procedure is done, you can be sure that qualified professionals will be standing by just in case something happens.

Most of the time the doctors performing the hair transplant will use what is called a local anesthetic to dull the area that they are working on. That way, you can stay awake and communicate with the doctors during the operation about how you're reacting to the procedure.

Of course, the procedure itself isn't one large hair transplant, but actually a series of minute transplants done a few hair strands at a time. It is a fairly straightforward process, but it does take some time. A normal procedure can last a few hours to an entire day. The best idea is to talk to your hair transplant professional. They will be able to give you a better idea given your specific needs.

If you've found a professional that does San Diego hair transplants that is worth his credentials, the method that they use to transplant the hair will be a variety between three or four hair strands, to give the hairline a natural look. By alternating the number of hairs in each transplant, there is less of a chance of small islands of hair forming if the transplant doesn't entirely take. Once the procedure is completed, it will take time for the hair to begin growing. Many people get the mistaken impression that they will walk out of the operating room with a head of full hair. At the end of the procedure, your scalp will be red and there might be some scabbing. However, if you follow your doctors directions, within a week or so, your hair will begin to grow in places it hasn't for years.

How Hair Transplants Work

2009-03-13T04:32:00.000-07:00

A hair transplant, as the name suggests, involves taking hair from one region of the scalp where hair is in abundance and replanting it in another area where growth is sparse. However, it is not individual hairs which are relocated but small groupings of 1-4 hairs called "follicular units".

To determine the number of follicular units to be transplanted, the doctor measures the bald/thinning area and transplants about 35 follicular units into each square cm. The greater the contrast between the scalp color and hair color the more grafts are needed. Doctors may recommend that patients have one grafting session then wait about a year before deciding if they would like more. Healing time is about 7 days.

Surgeons generally limit the number of grafts per session to somewhere between 1200 and 2500 grafts, depending on how many are needed by the individual patient (the average cost is around 4 to 6 USD per follicular unit or graft). There is some debate between those who favour larger sessions, with up to 3,000 grafts, and staggered restoration where the number of grafts per session is low but the number of sessions is higher. There are arguments for both sides but keep in mind that your body needs time to heal and it may be unwise to demand more grafts per session than the doctor recommends.

The doctor will first make sure that the hair is trimmed short in the donor area then use a local anesthesia both there and in the recipient area. Most doctors prepare the recipient sites with customized blades that match each follicular unit, these blades ranging in size from 0.75mm to 1.3mm (no one is punching holes anymore, unless it is to do a scalp biopsy). A team of technicians will dissect the donor strip using either microscopes or high definition cameras and monitors. Next, the follicles from the donor strip are inserted into the recipient site. Most doctors use a trichophytic closure technique that virtually eliminates scarring (it actually allow hair to grow through the donor scar).

The entire process is complex and not without bodily stress. There is a limit to the anesthetic that can be injected into your system as well as the number of grafts that can be cut. The procedure is also demanding for the physician; while cutting the graft the doctor will keep injecting saline solution into your scalp so that proper skin strength is maintained. He or she also has to be very careful when replanting the hair to make sure it grows in the right direction.

Hair Loss: A Look at Hair Transplants

2009-03-05T02:44:00.000-08:00

One of the replacement options available to hair loss sufferers is hair transplantation. This is a surgical procedure and prospective patients must be more cautious than when considering non-invasive baldness solutions. And as with other types of surgeries, the practitioners are of varying degrees of expertise and competence.

Thoroughly researching and investigating hair restoration options, and the doctors available to perform transplants are important steps in the process. Choosing the right place to have it done and the right procedure is also vitally important.

The key factors in attaining a good transplant are the surgeon's skill, the procedure that's used, and ensuring that you're a good candidate for the procedure.

Hair can be transplanted because not all of the hair on your head is affected by the pattern baldness that causes hair loss. The hair follicles on the back and sides of the head aren't susceptible to DHT, the hormone that causes follicles to shrink and stop producing hair.

Transplants involve taking skin with hair follicles from these parts that still produce hair, separating the follicles out, and re-inserting them into the bald areas of the scalp. These active follicles can then grow hair in the areas where the follicles have previously died.

Several transplant grafts may be needed to ensure adequate coverage of balding areas. Although pre-baldness hair density will not be attained, careful placement of transplanted follicles can give the illusion of a fuller head of hair and add some coverage.

Those patients for whom hair loss is relatively stable, those past the age of 30, are better candidates for restoration surgery. If the procedure is undertaken any earlier it is hard to know how much more loss will occur before balding stops.

For those younger or for those with recent hair loss, one of the hair restoration drugs, Rogaine or Propecia, is probably a better choice.

To create a successful transplant, it's important that the technique used yields a natural looking result. In the past, the hair plugs that were transplanted were similar to the plugs of hair one finds on a dolls head. Needless to say, this resulted in an unnatural look.

The smaller grafts that are commonly used now, while somewhat more natural, still do not duplicate the hairline most patients want. What is needed is to transplant the hair in the same way it grows - which means transplanting follicular units.

These units are made of 1-4 follicles, and the supporting cells, blood vessels, nerves and tissues. It wasn't until surgeons started using microscopes to ensure that the follicular units remained intact and in their original state that truly natural results were achieved.

The recipient site for follicular units is prepared by using a needle to make tiny holes in the scalp. The grafts are then very gently inserted into these holes. This is where the skill of the practitioner is of the utmost importance because of the close spacing of the holes and the necessity of preventing the follicular units grafts from being damaged.

Before deciding on a doctor, be sure to ask him or her these questions: - How many transplants have you done? - How long have you been doing transplants? - Do you transplant using follicular units? - Can I contact any of your former patients? - How many transplants will be needed and how many at one time? - What will the total cost be? - What are the dangers, concerns or risks? - What board are you certified by?

Any hesitancy or refusal to be forthcoming by a prospective physician should send up red flags to anyone planning to go through a transplant procedure. The best way to find a physician to perform hair transplant surgery is to get a recommendation from someone you know who has had the procedure done.

It is surprising how many people will gladly share their hair replacement story with you and the name of the physician who performed the transplants.

Hair Transplant - Is A Hair Transplant Right For You?

2009-02-25T03:37:00.000-08:00

What Is A Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure where hair on one part of your head that is not prone to balding (like the sides and back) is taken and transplanted into a balding area.

Generally, most of this transplanted hair will continue to grow for the lifetime of the patient. Hair transplants are thus a popular way to address the problem of premature balding and hair loss.

Patients like the fact that they don't have to mess with questionable hair loss treatments or products for the rest of their lives.

Hair Transplants are becoming much more popular in the image-obsessed culture we live in today. People are realizing that image makes a difference in everything from personal confidence and happiness to the type of salary you earn and even to what kind of mate you can attract.

What Does A Hair Transplant Look Like?

New advances in hair transplants are made every year. Hair transplants today don't need to have the 'pluggy' look they did 10 or 20 years ago. Today they can look so completely natural, no one will be able to tell you had one.

Depending on which doctor you choose you can address the thinning areas on your crown or front hairline. You doctor may also be able to steer you towards proven hair loss products that can cut down on hair loss after your surgery. This will help you so you stave off the natural progression of age-related hair loss.

Is A Hair Transplant Right For You?

Everyone is unique and a hair transplant may not be for everyone as each person's situation is unique. If you're considering a hair transplant, you must choose your surgeon or clinic carefully as there are a wide variety of options for those wanting a hair transplant.

If you are considering a hair transplant, talk to your doctor. You'll also want to educate yourself on hair transplants, methods, costs and options before making a final decision.

The Case for Permanent Hair Transplant

2009-02-18T23:38:00.000-08:00

Permanent hair transplant involves the removal of the hair-bearing portion of the scalp surgically and its relocation to an area of absent or thinning hair. This option has become very popular in recent years as an alternative to medications and other hair loss solutions.

The entire permanent hair transplant procedure comprised of three phases, namely the pre-operative preparation, the surgery and the post operative care. Pre-operative preparation involves a consultation where the surgeon analyzes the patient's scalp. He maps out a treatment plan with the patient, discusses the patient's preferences and expectations and recommends the best approach, while at the same time, explaining what can be expected after the operation. Days prior to surgery, the patient is instructed to refrain from using any medicines and from taking alcohol. He or she is also prescribed antibiotics to prevent infections.

The actual transplant is conducted in an outpatient setting with mild sedation and topical anesthesia. The procedure lasts for about four hours after which, the scalp is shampooed. Treatment with an antibacterial prior to the donor scalp being harvested is given. A skin from the posterior scalp in an area of good hair growth is excised. While the surgeon is treating the wound where the skin was taken, his assistants will begin to dissect individual follicular unit grafts from the strip. Extra care is taken to remove excess fibrous and fatty tissue without causing damage to the follicular cells that will produce the patient's first crop of new hair. After the dissection, the surgeon will then puncture the sites for the receiving grafts, implanting them in a predetermined density and pattern angling the wounds in a consistent pattern to promote a realistic hair pattern. Assistants usually finish the procedure by inserting the individual grafts in place. At the most, surgeons can place 50 grafts per square centimeter. Prolonged surgery involves the implantation of over 2,500 to 3,000 grafts in one session.

Certain advances in post-operative care allow for semi-permeable dressings for quicker seepage of blood and tissue fluid. Wounds should be dressed at least once a day. The patient is advised to keep away from the sun and to prevent shampooing the hair for about a week. For ten days after the surgery, almost all of the transplanted hairs will fall out as a reaction to their relocation. New hair will begin to emerge from the moved follicles after two to three months.

The patient's hair will grow normally and will continue to thicken thorough the ensuing six to nine months. Subsequent hair loss will probably occur in untreated areas and patients can either use medications to retard such loss or schedule a subsequent permanent hair transplant procedure sometime in the future.

Hair Transplant Techniques

2009-02-09T21:59:00.000-08:00

People are always conscious of their appearance. No one prefers a bald head so modern technology has introduced different methods of hair transplant The success of hair transplant surgery depends upon the type of hair transplantation procedure one adopts during hair restoration surgery.

Gradually hair transplant has taken a new turn in the span of time with single follicular hair being the standard unit of hair transplant surgery. The hair transplant procedure has now become standardized. A long string of hair transplant starts with the harvesting of donor?s hair. It begins with the excision of 1cm and 20cm long strip of hair from donor site. The strip is tapering at end to facilitate easy removal.

The dissection of strips is the next step. After the strip is excised from the donor site it is handed over to the surgical assistants. Then he cuts the strip into many fine strips with the use of stereoscopic microscope. This process of transplantation of donor strips into many strips is technology termed as silvering.

Earlier most of the hair restoration surgeons used to take help of multi blade knife for cutting the strip into silvers. However after the introduction of stereoscopic dissection of microscope the use of single blade has gained much acceptance. After the completion of slicing of strips, the next hair transplant procedure consists of dissecting of these silvers into categories of grafts again with the use of dissection microscope.

In case of dissection of one?haired follicular unit it is called follicular unit graft, in case of two?haired it is called micro-graft, in case of three haired follicular units it is called mini-graft.

Making slits on the recipient site is the next procedure after micro-grafts and mini-grafts and follicular unit. This is one of the most important procedures. The natural direction of the hair plays an important role in the surgery. The size of the slit is also of immense importance. The size of slit and size of graft to be transplanted should be same. Different sizes of blades are used for different kinds and sizes of follicular units and groups of follicles.

Laser hair transplant is another method. It has proved to give much natural results. In this process a laser beam is used to vaporize a narrow slot in scalp for implanting hair graft. It is capable of transplanting hundreds of graft dramatically and thus also reduces the time of hair transplant surgery.

Permanent Hair Transplant Method

2009-01-28T03:37:00.000-08:00

Most of the people think that baldness is a hereditary problem and there is no way to check hair loss. A non balanced diet, insufficient intake of vitamins and minerals, and UV radiations are the most probable causes of hair loss. However, the basic method of preventing hair loss is to take care of your hair. If you are suffering from baldness you can consider going for a permanent hair transplant with consultation of an expert. What is permanent hair transplant?

Permanent hair transplant is one of the most popular surgical ways to restore hair. In the process of permanent hair transplant surgeons take a required quantity of hair from the back and sides of your head and implant them on the area of your head where hair loss is most severe.

Different methods of permanent hair transplant:

1. Strip method of Follicular Unit Transplantation: This is the most popular method of permanent hair transplant because it is the least expensive method. In a strip method a small piece of skin is removed from that region of head where hair growth is rich. Then, this area is sutured. After this, the donor strip is divided in small individual hair groups. Thousands of small slits are made in the bald area and unit hair groupings are placed into them. Vitamin supplements and volumizing shampoos are recommended. You can use creams to remove rash from the donor area of head. The hair transplant cost is comparatively high in this case.

2. Follicular Unit Extraction method of Permanent Hair Transplant: Follicular units are extracted from tiny puncture holes of the donor area. After this, the extracted tiny follicles are placed in the bald area of the head. After a few months new hair start growing from the transplanted area. Follicular unit extraction method is an affordable hair transplant method. In this process hair transplant cost is comparatively less.Often, 3 to 5 transplant sessions are required, with the cost ranging from $4000 to $1000. Curly and wavy hair looks denser and requires less hair transplant session to achieve a cosmetically acceptable look.

Counseling at a hair transplant centre, is it all that essential?

2009-01-15T22:06:00.000-08:00

Men and women visiting a hair restoration centre or clinic have many different motives for desiring hair restoration. Whatever the motive, the decision to undertake hair restoration surgery should be an educated one before any desperate patient becomes an easy game for the unscrupulous hair transplant surgeon paying on fears and panic of his patients for immediate financial gain.

A patient?s education and counseling in a hair restoration clinic or center helps him or her to be the realistic about the outcomes of hair transplantation surgery and cooperate with the hair restoration surgeon for designing the hair line or deciding the future course of the surgeries.

Along with the patient?s education, his or her psychology is also an important aspect of hair restoration surgery. A patient should never expect miracles from the hair restoration surgery but only that which is actually possible as briefed by the hair restoration surgeon.
Any article on counseling would not be complete without a discussion of the factors that lead to a patient?s dissatisfaction with the outcome of hair transplant surgery. The dissatisfaction rate among the patients undergoing surgical hair restoration is approximately 2%, even in the best hair restoration clinics.

With the slick, overstated advertising of modern hair restoration techniques and the high surgical fee charged by hair restoration surgeons is very natural for the patient to expect too much from a hair transplant surgeon. Encouraged by aggressive litigation lawyers, the patients can even go to the extent of suing the hair transplant surgeon.

Though most patient does not go to the extent of suing, more often they grumble about the postoperative pain, lack of graft hair density and threaten the hair transplant surgeon.
A pre-operative counseling session at the hair restoration clinic definitely helps in reducing the disappointment rate with their hair restoration surgery. The prospective hair restoration patient needs to understand the difference between the results that can realistically be produced and the results they wish for.
No matter how careful and ethical the operating hair restoration surgeon is, there is a small group of patients who are very difficult to satisfy. Although no patient can ever be completely happy even with best of results, some patients due to their subverted psychology are much more difficult to please!

Experience has shown that young men aged 18?28 years have a higher dissatisfaction rate than men in older age groups. Their emotional immaturity plays a major role in this regard. Such men may have psychiatric problems, but a good hair restoration surgeon understands and never deprives these patients of the undoubted benefits of hair restoration surgery by a blunt denial. Instead they will do all sort of cajoling to agree them and be realistic about the outcomes.

Perhaps the greatest challenges sometimes do not lie in the actual hair transplantation procedures, but in the counseling process itself. And getting the patient, especially the young patient (at high risk of developing more advanced baldness in the future) willingly agreeing to undergo a conservative hair restoration is like wining half the battle! If a young bald person insists upon a hairline like other peers of his age, he is perhaps demanding something unnatural without any consideration for his future hair loss. And in such cases it all depends upon the counselor to convince the young person to understand that though some hair restoration possible it cannot give him the exact look he expects from the surgery.

Similarly, the counseling session with the patient for designing of his or her hair line also helps the hair transplant surgeon. Considerations of the individual patient?s facial structure, expectations, and hair quality are a must. But, though the quantity and quality of hair varies, the concepts of hair transplant surgery remain the same for every hair transplant surgery performed. By creative planning, judicious use of available donor hair and aesthetic and strategic placing of hair follicle grafts, a hair transplant surgeon can do much for the patient?s expectations!

How Hair Transplant Surgery is Performed

2008-10-22T05:00:00.000-07:00

Are you starting to bald? Are you thinking about having a hair transplant performed, but you don't know enough about it? If you are, you are not alone. More and more people are electing to have this treatment performed every year. For those who are interested, but need more information, the following will provide what you are looking for.

The scalp then gets sutured or stapled together and the donor hairs are given to technicians. The technicians remove each individual hair follicle and place them into a saline solution where they will await transplant. In the mean time, the surgeon is busy cutting small incisions into the front of the head within the hairline that was drawn earlier. There needs to be a separate incision for every follicle that is to be transplanted. This number can be as high as 2,000 per transplant.

In about a week or so, the incisions have started to heal, the scabs have fallen off, however, it will take up to a year for real hair growth to appear. In order to avoid further hair transplant procedures from needing to be performed, it is recommended that the patient use a drug such as Propecia. The continued use of this drug will help to minimize the need for another surgery.

The first step involved in a hair transplant is for the surgeon to draw a replacement hairline for the patient. Then the scalp is numbed and the donor hairs, usually from the back of the head, are shaved. Once this is completed, the skin that the donor hairs are attached to is removed from the head.

As a man ages, he looses hair. There is not much that can be done to stop this from happening. There are topical and oral drugs that can be taken to slow the process, but if they are stopped, the hair loss resumes. A person can use cover ups such as toupees or hair weaves, but they really do not look very natural. Enter the hair transplant surgery. This surgery utilizes hair from the body (normally the back of the head) that is not programmed to fall out to replace the missing follicles. But how do they do it?

Innovations In Hair Transplant And Other Alternatives To Hair Loss

2008-10-15T00:22:00.000-07:00

Although many people do not have visible hair loss, hair loss is a natural daily occurrence. Approximately 50 to 150 hairs are lost each day, but most hair regenerates because the hair follicle remains intact. If the follicles shrink due to heredity, hormones, stress, infection, certain prescription medication, illness, nutritional deficiency or age, the hair is not restored. When shedding significantly surpasses hair growth, baldness occurs. This Male Pattern Baldness usually begins at the forehead or on the top of the head, and progresses to the familiar horseshoe-shaped fringe of hair. Depending on your type of hair loss, treatments are available.

Since hair loss may be an early sign of a disease, it is important to find the cause so that it can be properly treated. A doctor usually inspects the hair shafts, and may perform a biopsy of the skin. A biopsy helps determine if the hair follicles are normal; if they are not, the biopsy may indicate possible causes. If the doctor's examination finds signs of irregularities or other serious illness, blood tests to identify those disorders may be required.

Assuming no diseases, or pathologies there are two medications that can treat baldness effectively. Minoxidil, originally used to treat hypertension, has been shown to stimulate hair growth in adult men and women with a certain type of baldness. The exact way that this medicine works is unknown. Hair growth usually occurs after the medicine has been used for several months and lasts only as long as the medicine continues to be used. Hair loss will begin again within a few months after Minoxidil treatment is stopped. Minoxidil is applied directly to the scalp on a daily basis. Minoxidil can be used for both men and women.

Proscar, a medication used for prostate enlargement, works by blocking the effects of male hormones on the hair follicles and is taken by mouth daily.

Individuals with increased levels of the hormone DHT in the scalp experience a shortening growth phase or thinning of the hair. Proscar lowers the level of this hormone, and contributes to the normalization of the hair growth cycle. Proscar may be used for men only.

Improvement may occur with either of these drugs when taken for several months. The most important effect of these drugs may be to prevent further hair loss. The effects last only as long as the drugs are taken. A more permanent solution is a hair transplant, in which hair follicles are removed from one part of the scalp and transplanted to the bald area. During this procedure, the surgeon removes a section of hair form the back of the head, near the base of the skull. This area of hair is genetically different because they do not have the gene for hair loss in their follicles. Only a small scar is left and unless one shaves the back of the scalp is it not noticeable. The donated follicles are then placed in saline solution, while small incisions are made in the areas of hair loss. Each individual donated follicle is placed creating an uneven ordinary hairline. After the hairline is formed, the remaining donor follicles are put where thinned or balding spots occur.

In the newer hair transplant technique, only one or two hairs are transplanted at a time. Although this technique is more tedious, and time consuming, it does not require removal of large plugs of skin and allows the implants to be oriented in the same direction as the natural hair.

If satisfactory treatments are not appropriate for your type of hair loss, you may consider trying different hairstyles, wigs, hair weaves, hairpieces, or artificial hair replacement, or very simply wear a hat.

Hair transplant methods to be avoided.

2008-08-06T04:21:00.000-07:00

Hair transplantation as a means of treating hair loss has been around for a long time. Unfortunately, some clinics today still use methods that are outdated and can cause pain, scarring and less than presentable results. This article highlights some of the hair transplant methods that you should avoid like the plague.

Round / square grafts - this is the original method that leaves patients with a scalp that resembles that of a plastic doll. It involves taking a number of smallish grafts with a hole-punch device and transplanting to the affected area. The result is a pluggy look that does not look natural and only becomes more ridiculous as time wears on.

Line grafts - this involves moving a short strip of donor hair from the side or back of the head, then transplanting the entire strip into a trench that is surgically cut into the receiving area of the scalp. The end result is a line of hair that looks unnatural.

Flap technique - this procedure involves moving a flap of skin with its tissue, hair strands and follicles from the side or back of the head to the front hairline by cutting it on three sides and stitching it to the bald area.This can cause serious problems including excessive scarring, infection, disfigurement in the forehead area and hair growing in the wrong direction.

Scalp reduction - in this procedure the bald area at the crown is cut away and the edges surrounding the wound are pulled together and sewn at the middle. This technique causes many problems including potentially hideous scarring, accelerated hair loss and infection.

Different Hair Transplant Methods

2008-08-06T04:19:00.000-07:00

When dealing with the issue of losing hair, in some cases, individuals choose to use hair transplants as a treatment. A hair transplant basically means to take hair from one area of the head with hair and root it into another area of the head without hair. Then, the hair roots itself and begins to grow. In order to accomplish this task, there are different hair transplant methods to use. Below are the hair transplant methods and the details surrounding them.

First, one of the hair transplant methods is called the strip method, of the Follicular Unit Transplant. This method is generally the most popular type of hair transplant, partly due to the fact that it is usually the least expensive method. How this particular method works is a piece of skin is removed from the donor area of the head (the area that has hair). Then, the donor area is sutured closed. After this, the strip is divided into follicular units, which are individual hair groupings. In the bald area, hundreds to thousands of small slits are cut and the individual hair groupings are placed in them. Where the hair was implanted, there is a short-term rash. After a short period of time, the sutures are removed and the scalp is examined. Within about three to four months, the hair transplants should begin growing. This hair transplant method is usually fully done after a year, when the individuals may have normal hair cuts and be able to stop using vitamin supplements, volumizing shampoos, and other such hair loss products.

Second, another one of the hair transplant methods is Follicular Unit Extraction. In this particular method, tiny puncture holes are placed in the donor area of the scalp. From this holes, the follicular units are extracted. Although this method causes scarring, there is not as visible of a scar as from the strip method. After extracting the follicular units from the holes in the donor area of the scalp, the units are then placed into the small slits in the bald area of the head. Eventually, after a few months, hair will begin to grow from the transplants. Also, within a year this method should be complete, as with the previously mentioned method of hair transplant.

Although hair transplant methods may take time to grow hair and may cause scarring, the overall effect will eventually be a full head of hair. Instead of worrying about bald spots, individuals will have their natural hair growing. Depending on what type of hair transplant methods are chosen by these individuals, the scarring will be different. With the Follicular Unit Transplant method, the persons undergoing this treatment will have a suture scar on the back of their head, or donor spot. For those persons choosing the Follicular Unit Extraction method, they will have multiple small scars over the back of their head, or donor area. Hair transplant methods usually vary in the way that hair is extracted. However, the outcome of the transplant growing hair is the same.

Hair Transplant - For Self-Image

2008-07-26T03:07:00.000-07:00

Hair transplant is one way that many are gaining their self-esteem back. Self-Image is a very important thing to have. To an extent, it dictates where you are going in life. Your self-image is made up of more than just your physical appearance, but that is a major component. If it takes hair transplant to get you back on a positive attitude in that regard, then you should do it. Some men are perfectly content with less hair than they once had. Some are even lucky enough to look good bald. Unfortunately, these are the few. The rest of the many people who are losing their hair are losing their looks and confidence too. When you have plenty of confidence, you show it. People know that you mean business and that you expect to get what you want and need. And you usually do. However, when you walk into a place worrying how you look, or doubting yourself, you aren't likely to project a strong image. And you are much less likely to get what you need, want, and deserve. This is why many people turn to hair transplant options. If having a full head of hair again will give you that confidence you need to get around in life, then you should pursue it. Not for anyone else, but for you. Before you decide to do hair transplant, you should look at your options. If a wig is all you need, more power to you. However, many wigs look way to obvious to do a lot of good in this area. You can also talk to your doctor about treatments for natural hair re-growth. However, make sure that you understand all possible side-effects before you start taking it. When all else fails, there are hair transplant options. And thanks to modern technology, it is actually possible without scarring. But before you commit, make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into. Find out what can go wrong, and what your chances are. Also ask about how long the procedures will take and any recovery times. Be informed. Next, you should find out who you want to do it. Look at people who do hair transplant options and find out about them. You can even go visit with them and ask to see previous work that they have done if they have it available. If you know anyone who has had it done, see who they would or wouldn't recommend. After you have all the information that you can get, go and retrieve your self-confidence with hair transplant technology.

Follicular Unit Extraction vs. Older Methods of Hair Transplantation

2008-07-16T02:06:00.000-07:00

Punch grafts, scalp reductions, scalp extensions

In the past, as the names of these earlier procedures indicate, undergoing a hair transplant was a painfully unpleasant process. Men with receding hairlines and balding scalps often resorted to the unnatural-looking, and often ridiculed, toupee to avoid the pain, slow healing, and scarring of a transplant.

Because of this, the hair transplant business was staggering in the late twentieth century. Surgeons knew that hair restoration techniques needed to evolve.

Fast forward into the beginning of the twenty-first century

Thousands of bad comb-overs and strip incision scars later, the new technique that hair restoration surgeons were waiting for was finally perfected. The hair transplant community eventually embraced follicular unit extraction (FUE). Surgeons praised the method and potential patients were curious about it.

But what exactly is follicular unit extraction? And is it really more effective and beneficial than older methods of hair transplantation?

Follicular unit extraction involves the removal of small groups of hair follicles (usually between one and four) from the donor site and their reinsertion into the receptor site. These small grafts allow for equal distribution of hair in the balding area of the scalp and produce more natural-looking results. In fact, once the receptor site has completely healed, it is virtually impossible to detect that any sort of hair transplant procedure has taken place.

The differences between FUE and the older methods of transplantation are noteworthy.

Firstly, the FUE procedure is quicker and less painful than any other hair restoration technique. FUE is performed with a punch-like scalpel that cuts the skin around the follicle. This facilitates the removal of about one to four follicles from the donor area at the same time. Also, the advanced method of follicular perforation allows the surgeon to make a shallow punch on the surrounding tissue, ensuring that the graft be released from the tissue with minimum traction and with better ease. The extracted follicles (called grafts) are then inserted into small slits that have been cut in the recipient area. These slits do not need suturing, heal quickly, and are completely undetectable once the new hair begins to grow in about seven to ten days.

Secondly, FUE is beneficial because the recovery process is much faster and less painful. In most patients, the grafts become fully secure in about eight days after surgery and the surgical wound in the donor area usually heals within one to two weeks. Some discomfort may be present, but usually analgesics like Tylenol or codeine will help. Generally, normal activity may be resumed one to two weeks after the procedure. In older methods of hair restoration, bleeding, suturing, and bandaging were parts of the long and painful recovery process.

Thirdly, 100% of hair loss sufferers are candidates for FUE. In the past, hair restoration was not as widely available to every hair loss sufferer as it is today. There were various criteria that each candidate had to meet to be eligible for a hair transplant. Such criteria included the patients age, color and texture of hair, skin complexion, amount of donor hair available, and future hair loss projections. However, because the methods involved with follicular unit extraction are so advanced, such criteria are not much of a concern. For example, the amount of donor hair on the head is not an issue when determining candidacy because the procedure allows for the extraction of hair from other parts of the body.

Fourthly, the incidence of complication during the FUE procedure is lower than with other transplantation methods. In a study, published by Dr. Masumi Inaba, of over 150 patients treated with FUE, researchers found that patients suffered only from mild discomfort from sitting still for several hours at a time. Furthermore, only four out of the 150 patients experienced donor area shock, while two more patients experienced a more limited variety of patchy circular alopecia (hair loss). Nevertheless, all patients made full recoveries within five weeks.

Lastly, FUE patients recover without visible scars in the donor or recipient area. Unlike previous methods, like strip incision, where an unattractive linear scar was exposed in the donor area, FUE does not leave ugly, unbearable scars on the head. Instead, the tiny slits that are cut in the recipient area are conveniently hidden by new hair. The final result of FUE in all patients is that of a seamless, natural, healthy-looking head of hair.

For all those who are suffering from hair loss and are searching for the best method of restoring their youth, follicular unit extraction should be considered. It is a hair restoration method that discards the use of the painful linear donor incision and regards 100% of hair loss patients as proper candidates for the procedure. It is widely predicted that within the coming years, follicular unit extraction will make further advancements and become the method of choice for every hair restoration surgeon and patient.

Scope of laser surgery as a Hair transplant procedure

2008-07-01T03:34:00.000-07:00

For some people, the word laser surgery is synonymous wit the word
"state-of-the-art". With laser surgery permeating almost any branch
of surgery it is not very uncommon to think so. Though laser surgery
has shown much promise in other branches of surgery the scene with
hair transplant surgery is entirely different.

Not only is laser hair transplant inappropriate for
Follicular Unit Transplantation, it is actually detrimental even
with different modification of procedure and use of different laser
hair settings. Lets see the rationale behind the difference
between hair transplant surgeries and other surgeries where
the use of laser has been of much advantage.

The value of laser surgery lies in its properties of "selective photo-thermolysis"
(this is the ability to destroy a specific target without injuring
the surrounding tissue). Hair transplant surgery is different in this
regard from other surgeries because of the lack of a target tissue.
And when one is using laser hair transplant surgery for channel creation
for inserting the grafts, it is actually making use of destructive
properties of the laser. The laser hair restoration surgery literally
burns a recipient hole in the skin. The tall claims made by laser
companies for a new class of laser causing no thermal damage,
is anything but true. Regardless of the source and the type, a laser
is something which causes thermal damage to the tissue by its
high energy. The laser hair restoration technique always leaves
surface change and scarring. Not only this, high energy laser
beams used for laser hair transplant may damage hairs existing
near the implant site because of burning of the surrounding tissue.
But at the same time it is important to keep in mind the use of laser
for hair removal is a different case altogether. Since here the
destructive property of laser is put to use, it can be a good
option being painless and fast.

There is another drawback of laser hair transplant surgery which is
more critical. The high energy of laser beam leads to the closing
of the blood vessels. This characteristic feature of the laser beam
is useful in other type of surgery where it helps to close wounds
and provides quick healing. But in case of hair transplant surgery,
blood supply is very crucial for nourishing the grafts after they
are transplanted. And this is the main concern about a laser
hair transplant surgery. Laser assisted transplants either are
not able to grow or heal more slowly to have unpredictable
growth due to impaired blood flow.

The thermal damage caused by the laser hair restoration to the
surrounding tissue destroys the collagen and weakens the elastic
support around the newly transplanted grafts. It also increases
the coagulum (clot) around the graft which, in turn, decreases
oxygen perfusion and retards healing. The uniformly created
channels created by laser hair transplant surgery lose all its
promise when the laser "loosens" the "snug fit" between the
transplanted graft and recipient site. And this is the reason
why laser hair restoration results in unpredicted and slow
growth of the hair follicle.

The advantage of laser towards decreasing bleeding at the
recipient site is also not of much use in case of
hair transplant surgery. A hair transplantation surgeon
can decrease bleeding by the use of precision instruments
and better hair transplant procedures more effectively than
using a laser beam.

Regardless the hair transplant procedure a hair transplant doctor uses,
maximizing the growth of a transplant is the one and only aim
of any hair transplant surgery. And whatever is the type of
implanted graft, whether it is a single follicular units or a group
of follicular units, restoring the blood supply to the graft is of
utmost importance. And since the laser hair transplant surgery
fails to accomplish the vital function of restoring the blood flow,
it is to be simply ignored as a hair transplant procedure.

There are many hair transplant centers which boast of laser hair transplant
as a painless procedure or as a fast process for hair transplant surgery,
are to be totally dismissed. This is an important piece of information
which can save you from a fraudulent hair transplant center if you are
planning to have a hair transplant surgery done. But before you visit
a hair transplant clinic find some time to visit the site hairttransplantadvice.com

and make an informed decision.
