Hair loosing or alopecia in medical language is the serious
problem of the humankind at the present. Yet, both men and women are under the
treat of it. The reason of hair dropping can vary from person to person, and particular
treatment is prescribed to eliminate the initial cause which leads to hair
loosing. Though in some particular cases the effective solution to the problem
is just the hair transplant, and nothing more. Hair transplant is the
micro-surgical procedure to transport the donor hairs from the cervical part to
the bald parts. The first hair transplantation was performed in 1959 by Dr.
Norman Orentreich from America. Since that time the procedure has been improved
to help millions with hair problems.
In the earlier times the technique of hair transplanting was
just the application of synthetinc hairs to correct the problematic zones.
However, the given technique had lots of side effects since it caused
occurrence of rough scars, suppuration in the point of transplantation and the
eventual falling of the used material. Side effects of the technique were
serious to the extent that such approach was prohibited to use in USA by law.
Besides, such technique was of little efficacy due to the gradual loosing of
the used material within two to three years. Transplanting of donor hair in
bunches was not preferred as the efficient approach since it was too painful
and the transplanted hair looked unnatural. Bunches of fake hair created the
effect of dolly hair and this caused developments in this sphere.
The up to date technology of hair transplant technique
assumes application of the follicular grafts that comprise of individual compound
of follicles. The grafts come as the individual bunch of hairs with follicles
which are well kept and look very natural when transplanted.
Such technique provides the little loss of follicles in the
post-surgery period, while requiring the perfect qualification of the
specialists to do the surgery. The skills and qualified technique of hair
restoration surgeons vary, as do their hair transplant results. The
qualification of surgeons including that of the medical personnel involved in
selection of hair follicles and preparation of material for transplanting
commit to the high effect of this responsible, vitally significant for the
client and time-consuming process. The follicles come as separate hairs or a
bunch of three and more hairs.
When the hair transplant procedure is done right and the
grafts are properly handled and cared well during the procedure, the high
likelihood of successful hair growth and high yield is ensured.
Today hair restoration surgery is going through the evolution
process to improve both the naturalness and fullness that can be achieved from
any one surgical hair transplant procedure.
The present microsurgical blades come smaller and now enable
hair transplant surgeons to safely make more tiny graft incisions in the
recipient area then ever done before. Surgeons can dense pack select areas with
40 to 80 follicular unit grafts per square centimeter. This graft density is as
much as twice that of the standard follicular unit hair transplant procedure.
Particular refined follicular unit hair transplant procedure
depends upon the highly professional specialists and the personnel who can
ensure the efficient new hair growth that is natural.
Hair transplanting surgery by follicular units or grafts is
considered the «golden standard » in this sphere and produces natural looking
results. To evaluate the hair transplanting results, the recipient area is
photographed before the surgery is done and then the same procedure is repeated
in some time later after the procedure is done already. The hair transplanting
surgery may be performed with the general anesthesia or local anesthesia with
smaller alopecia cases.
The transplanted hair is taken from the cervical area
resistant to alopecia genetically. The patient has the recipient area shaven
some time before the surgery which is treated with antiseptics and marked. And
then the hair is transplanted to marked area.
Since the hair transplanting requires the accurate technique
and skillful mastering, the surgery is allowed to the licensed clinics with
many-year experience of such surgery.
Regarding to the extent of alopecia, more than one surgery
may be required. However, the achieved results will cover all money expenses
and your emotional sufferings since this surgery gives the chance to feel
confident and younger, which is very significant.
