Now when was A Hair Transplant The right Solution For You?
First and foremost, it is important to seek the advice of the GP before taking any action. It is also vital to source a reputable, qualified hair loss expert who can provide careful assessment and facilitate transplant surgery via skilled surgeon.
In order that need considering for transplant surgery, you must have a significant amount of good quality existing or ‘donor’ hair. Thinning hair which occurs in a single area e.g. the crown is more likely to be suitable for hair transplantation. Unfortunately large areas of total hair loss are not deemed suitable for transplantation as the recovery rate of re-growth is minimal.
You must be also in general health and well-being. Hair transplant is major surgery, performed under local anaesthetic with an associated recovery period. In order for the surgery to be a success, you always be fit and healthy and ideally you won’t suffer any other major medical conditions.
There are also age constraints having hair transplant medical procedure. Candidates should be over 18 but many experienced surgeons will not perform a hair surgery on young adults. This is because genetic or natural baldness is yet to happen and will change up the transplanted hair. Even if you are in your late 20s or early 30s, hair loss can still occur. This means if you undergo surgery, brand new hair could drop out and it’s a waste of your investment!
It’s worth noting that there are new surgical techniques involved in hair loss transplants. One option is FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction – which means that hairs are individually extracted from the back of the head and re-planted across the location. This is a lengthy, pain-staking process but the result can be minimal scarring and also a very natural-looking hair line. The other main technique employed in hair transplantation is FUT – Follicular Unit Transplantation. This technique involves taking a more impressive area or ‘strip’ of hair from the back of the head, dividing it into smaller units and then re-planting those units globe desired area of hair loss. Scarring can be more conspicuous at the rear of the head to be a larger area recently been removed but specialized surgeon will minimise incision marks certain that rapid healing.
Hair transplants do of course utilise your own natural hair and re-growth can be expected within 4 weeks of surgery. Great care must be taken during your recovery period to protect the newly-transplanted crazy. However, once it is deemed safe to resume normal activities, the results could be life-transforming. A successful hair transplant is permanent and can restore confidence and self-esteem.
