Hair Transplant

Hair loss can affect men and women at different ages, with causes including genetics, diet, stress, illness, or hormonal problems. It's normal to lose 70 to 100 hairs per day. Hair transplantation is a straightforward treatment for those experiencing severe hair loss. This procedure involves transferring hair from denser areas to less dense areas. Candidates for hair transplantation can regain their youthfulness and confidence after a specialist's examination and necessary tests.

Causes of Hair Loss and Hair Transplantation Procedures Hair loss can have various reasons, including:

Genetics: Male and female pattern baldness is a common cause of hair loss.

Hormones: Hormonal changes during pregnancy, menopause, and puberty can cause hair loss.

Illnesses: Diseases such as thyroid disease, lupus, and alopecia areata can lead to hair loss.

Medications: Certain drugs, including chemotherapy, antidepressants, and blood thinners, can cause hair loss.

Stress: Severe and prolonged stress can result in hair loss.

Poor Nutrition: Deficiencies in iron, zinc, and some vitamins can lead to hair loss.

Physical Damage: Hair pulling, excessive use of heat tools, and certain hairstyles can damage hair follicles and cause hair loss.

What is Hair Transplant Surgery and How is It Done? Hair transplantation is a surgical method used to restore lost hair and improve appearance. In this procedure, hair follicles are taken from an area where hair is naturally thick and resilient (donor area) and transplanted to bald or thin areas. This helps individuals regain confidence and look younger.

Understanding the Donor Area The donor area is the part of the head with sufficient hair density and thickness for transplantation. Typically, the back and sides of the head are considered donor areas as the hair in these regions is usually resistant to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and more resistant to hair loss.

Surgical Hair Transplantation Methods

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): A strip of skin containing hair follicles is removed from the donor area. This strip is then divided into smaller units, and the follicles are extracted and transplanted into predetermined areas of the scalp.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual hair follicles are directly extracted from the donor area and then transplanted to the thinning or bald areas. FUE is more invasive than FUT and takes longer but leaves fewer scars.

Non-Surgical Hair Transplantation Methods

• Micropigmentation: In this method, pigments are injected into the scalp to create the appearance of short hair. This is suitable for individuals with low hair density or who cannot undergo hair transplantation for medical reasons.
• Laser-Assisted Hair Transplantation: Lasers create channels in the scalp, and hair follicles are then transplanted into these channels, increasing precision and speed.
• Combined Methods: Sometimes, a combination of different hair transplantation methods is used to achieve the best result. For example, FUT may be used for larger areas, while FUE is used for smaller sections.

FAQs

• How should I prepare for hair transplantation? Talk to your consultant doctor about your medical history and medications (including herbal and over-the-counter medications). Some medications can cause bleeding or interfere with the transplant, so you may need to temporarily stop taking them. If you smoke, it's best to quit as smoking can affect wound healing and increase the risk of bleeding and infection.
• How is hair transplantation performed? The procedure uses local anesthesia and sedatives at the donor and transplant areas. The transplant is done according to the standard design approved by you, using the technique recommended by your doctor.
• What should I expect after hair transplantation? After the procedure, you may experience tightness and pain in the transplant and donor areas, requiring painkillers. Your doctor will provide post-operative care instructions, including when to remove stitches (if any), how to wash your hair, and when to resume physical activities.
• What complications might occur? Recovery is usually smooth, but some people may experience bleeding, infection, raised scars, or uneven appearance. Some may not achieve the desired result after the initial transplant and may require repeat procedures.
