Hair Transplant

Getting a Hair Transplant

Many men nowadays experience hair loss. It is genetically linked, and is more common than you may think. As a matter of fact as many as four in seven men will have hair loss at some point. For some this may occur as soon as the end of puberty, but generally the hair loss associated with male pattern baldness starts around age thirty and gets worse with age.

More often than not, hair loss can be concealed or won't even be noticed by others until it's in the later stages. Some men embrace their baldness and go for a sophisticated look, and others opt to shave off all their hair according to the recent style. However, there are some men who prefer to keep their hair.

For people who do want to keep their full head of hair, there are topically applied medications and laser treatments that can help to prevent hair loss and promote regrowth of hair. These are only effective to some extent, and for some people a more permanent solution is sought.

Hair transplant is one of the solutions that is proven to be quite effective among candidates. It is necessary for the person to have areas of the head with regular hair growth from whence to take the skin or hair follicles, and this hair can be transplanted to balding patches on the scalp.

When considering hair transplants, first a consultation with the doctor is necessary. The doctor can take a look at your head and get an idea of the options available. He will then talk them over with you as well as telling you what can reasonably be expected from a hair transplant in your situation.

Some hair transplants are carried out during a few sessions, but it is quite common practise to have the entire process done in one single outpatient session that may take between three to five hours.

Strips of skin that contain regular healthy hair follicles are taken from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair growth is normal, and are moved to the areas on the top or wherever the hair loss has occurred. There is also follicular unit transplantation which moves follicles that are producing 1-4 hairs in their natural units. This gives a very natural overall look to the new hair.

After your scalp has had time to heal, the “new” hair will inevitably fall out at first. This should not be cause for panic as within a few months it will grow back in and you will have hair where you used to only have hair loss!

As with any procedure there are some possible side effects and long term problems or imperfections that may come with hair transplant, but for those who are serious about improving their appearance and who have seen little results from previous methods, a hair transplant may be the best solution.
