Hair transplant

What is hair transplantation?

–

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that is performed to restore hair on the scalp. It can be either done by taking hair from the back of the head and putting it in the balding area or by taking hair from other parts of the body and grafting it onto the scalp.There are three types of hair transplant surgeries: follicular unit extraction, follicular unit strip surgery, and follicular unit plugs. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a technique where individual hairs are removed from donor areas one at a time and then transplanted. In Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS), an incision is made in the patient’s scalp so that strips of skin containing many hairs can be removed with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. In Follicular Unit Plugs (FUP), plugs are cut out of donor tissue, trimmed to size, then inserted into holes created in the recipient area.

Follicle units are collected from the donor area, that is, the area anatomically named so-called occipital area. After a successful collection, follicles are placed in areas of hair loss. The donor area is insensitive to the balding process and comes back permanently. Any transplanted follicular units are genetically resistant to male hormone (DHT (dihydrotestosterone)) and programmed for growing for life

Hair transplantation can be applied to both sexes for women and men. But not every hair loss can be treated with hair transplant. Surgical hair restoration is applicable only to people with regional and male-type hair loss (Androgenic hair loss or androgenic alopecia).Female-type hair loss (diffuse hair loss or non-androgenic hair loss) is a form of hair loss that is mostly seen in women, is not hormone dependent, and affects the entire haired area including the donor area. In this case, hair transplantation is not a priority treatment. A detailed examination of these patients by a specialist and examination of the laboratory tests is required.

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are removed from one part of the body, most often the back of the head, and then transplanted to bald or thinning areas.The first hair transplant was performed in France in 1968. The technique was developed by a French dermatologist named Dr. Pierre Chassang.Hair transplants can be done on men or women but they are more common among men because male pattern baldness is more common than female pattern baldness.
