Hair transplantation as a means of treating hair loss has been around for a long time. Unfortunately, some clinics today still use methods that are outdated and can cause pain, scarring and less than presentable results. This article highlights some of the hair transplant methods that you should avoid like the plague.

Round / square grafts - this is the original method that leaves patients with a scalp that resembles that of a plastic doll. It involves taking a number of smallish grafts with a hole-punch device and transplanting to the affected area. The result is a pluggy look that does not look natural and only becomes more ridiculous as time wears on.

Line grafts - this involves moving a short strip of donor hair from the side or back of the head, then transplanting the entire strip into a trench that is surgically cut into the receiving area of the scalp. The end result is a line of hair that looks unnatural.

Flap technique - this procedure involves moving a flap of skin with its tissue, hair strands and follicles from the side or back of the head to the front hairline by cutting it on three sides and stitching it to the bald area.This can cause serious problems including excessive scarring, infection, disfigurement in the forehead area and hair growing in the wrong direction.

Scalp reduction - in this procedure the bald area at the crown is cut away and the edges surrounding the wound are pulled together and sewn at the middle. This technique causes many problems including potentially hideous scarring, accelerated hair loss and infection.

The recent development of improved hair transplant techniques ensures that patients can now benefit from pain-free surgery.

Unlike the older techniques that could be painful and cause unsightly scarring, the Woods Technique of Follicular Relocation is minimally invasive, painless and leads to hair restoration that looks and feels completely natural.

Under this technique physicians transplant only the hair follicle and not the excess tissue that is common with other transplant techniques. This means that the transplant site only has to nourish the essential follicles resulting in a higher take rate and a lower risk of fallout caused by localized shock.

The creators of the technique have been perfecting it in Australia since 1989 during which time more than 2000 procedures have been performed with a high success rate. Interestingly, Drs Woods and Woods-Campbell have made the discovery that transplanted body hair can grow up to three times its length and assume the characteristics and qualities of scalp hair. This means that patients who have damaged or depleted donor areas can now benefit from the technique.

The good news for American patients is that the technique is now being introduced to the US with a training facility for doctors established at UCLA.

Punch grafts, scalp reductions, scalp extensions…

In the past, as the names of these earlier procedures indicate, undergoing a hair transplant was a painfully unpleasant process. Men with receding hairlines and balding scalps often resorted to the unnatural-looking, and often ridiculed, toupee to avoid the pain, slow healing, and scarring of a transplant.

Because of this, the hair transplant business was staggering in the late twentieth century. Surgeons knew that hair restoration techniques needed to evolve.

Fast forward into the beginning of the twenty-first century…

Thousands of bad comb-overs and strip incision scars later, the new technique that hair restoration surgeons were waiting for was finally perfected. The hair transplant community eventually embraced follicular unit extraction (FUE). Surgeons praised the method and potential patients were curious about it.

But what exactly is follicular unit extraction? And is it really more effective and beneficial than older methods of hair transplantation?

Follicular unit extraction involves the removal of small groups of hair follicles (usually between one and four) from the donor site and their reinsertion into the receptor site. These small grafts allow for equal distribution of hair in the balding area of the scalp and produce more natural-looking results. In fact, once the receptor site has completely healed, it is virtually impossible to detect that any sort of hair transplant procedure has taken place.

The differences between FUE and the older methods of transplantation are noteworthy.

Firstly, the FUE procedure is quicker and less painful than any other hair restoration technique. FUE is performed with a punch-like scalpel that cuts the skin around the follicle. This facilitates the removal of about one to four follicles from the donor area at the same time. Also, the advanced method of follicular perforation™ allows the surgeon to make a shallow punch on the surrounding tissue, ensuring that the graft be released from the tissue with minimum traction and with better ease. The extracted follicles (called grafts) are then inserted into small slits that have been cut in the recipient area. These slits do not need suturing, heal quickly, and are completely undetectable once the new hair begins to grow in about seven to ten days.

Secondly, FUE is beneficial because the recovery process is much faster and less painful. In most patients, the grafts become fully secure in about eight days after surgery and the surgical wound in the donor area usually heals within one to two weeks. Some discomfort may be present, but usually analgesics like Tylenol or codeine will help. Generally, normal activity may be resumed one to two weeks after the procedure. In older methods of hair restoration, bleeding, suturing, and bandaging were parts of the long and painful recovery process.

Thirdly, 100% of hair loss sufferers are candidates for FUE. In the past, hair restoration was not as widely available to every hair loss sufferer as it is today. There were various criteria that each candidate had to meet to be eligible for a hair transplant. Such criteria included the patient’s age, color and texture of hair, skin complexion, amount of donor hair available, and future hair loss projections. However, because the methods involved with follicular unit extraction are so advanced, such criteria are not much of a concern. For example, the amount of donor hair on the head is not an issue when determining candidacy because the procedure allows for the extraction of hair from other parts of the body.

Fourthly, the incidence of complication during the FUE procedure is lower than with other transplantation methods. In a study, published by Dr. Masumi Inaba, of over 150 patients treated with FUE, researchers found that patients suffered only from mild discomfort from sitting still for several hours at a time. Furthermore, only four out of the 150 patients experienced donor area shock, while two more patients experienced a more limited variety of patchy circular alopecia (hair loss). Nevertheless, all patients made full recoveries within five weeks.

Lastly, FUE patients recover without visible scars in the donor or recipient area. Unlike previous methods, like strip incision, where an unattractive linear scar was exposed in the donor area, FUE does not leave ugly, unbearable scars on the head. Instead, the tiny slits that are cut in the recipient area are conveniently hidden by new hair. The final result of FUE in all patients is that of a seamless, natural, healthy-looking head of hair.

For all those who are suffering from hair loss and are searching for the best method of restoring their youth, follicular unit extraction should be considered. It is a hair restoration method that discards the use of the painful linear donor incision and regards 100% of hair loss patients as proper candidates for the procedure. It is widely predicted that within the coming years, follicular unit extraction will make further advancements and become the method of choice for every hair restoration surgeon and patient.

Hair transplant surgery is very common these days. As hair loss is such a big problem for so many people, and as hair transplant surgery becomes more and more effective, it is more in demand.

However hair transplant surgery is usually the last in the list of things that you need to consider if you are suffering from hair loss.

For those who are suffering from some degree of hair loss there are some steps you need to take before you consider hair transplant surgery. Hair loss is not necessarily permanent, and the very first thing that you need to do is to consult your doctor and find out a specific cause.

Hair loss can be temporary. For example there are various medical conditions and medical treatments which can cause hair loss and once these conditions have been treated or the treatments stopped the hair recovers. No need for hair transplant surgery there.

And where you have a diagnosed hair loss condition that may well be permanent, such as male pattern baldness, or permanent hereditary hair loss, there can still be some other options to consider.

The first option is to do nothing. Don’t laugh. Hair replacement treatments, and particularly hair transplant surgery, can be exceedingly expensive. They can have some side effects and can be unpleasant. Sometimes they don’t work, or are unsuitable for your particular condition. Doing nothing about it is a very viable option and one that any proficient professional should counsel you about.

Baldness is becoming fashionable. Perhaps it started with Yul Brinner, who knows, but there are some who deliberately shave their heads as a fashion statement. You don’t need to go that far, although you could also consider that, but you certainly could consider living with it.

Work out how much effort and money you are prepared to expend on doing something about it. Hair transplant surgery is very expensive and hair loss is not really considered a disease so government or private medical funds may not cover the cost. Check that out.

Next find out about the pharmaceutical hair replacement products. There are several which do work, although not for everybody. Check them out. Find out more. They also have their drawbacks, but you should educate yourself about all options.

But for many this process still leads them to hair transplant surgery. There is no doubt that if you have hair transplant surgery done by a reputable hair transplant centre it can be very effective.

There are positives and negatives to hair transplant surgery. As previously stated, it can be expensive. It is a long process, over many months, requiring repeated visits, and it is surgery, with the normal, though low, risks attached to any surgery. And it doesn’t suit everybody, depending on the nature of your problem.

On the other hand hair transplant surgery, once it is over, is very effective in most cases. You end up growing your own hair and the result is permanent. The final effect, which takes around 12 months, can be extremely effective.

There are various types of hair transplant surgery available at various hair transplant centres. If you have spent some time thinking about your options and have finally come to the conclusion that hair transplant surgery is for you then take the next step.

Visit a reputable hair transplant centre or find one on the internet and find out more about hair transplant surgery. The results can be life transforming.

Balding is something that happens to most men and some women. While many men adapt to the fact that they are losing their hair, others seek remedies and treatments to help prevent the hair loss and even to replacement procedures. Medical hair restoration is one method of obtaining a permanent solution to hairloss. This is suitable for both men and women and produces a very natural looking head of hair. Medical hair restoration is also called hair transplants and if this is something that you are considering, you should contact a specialist in the field.

While there are other medical treatments for thinning hair, such as using Rogaine, medical hair restoration really does have proven results. The advanced techniques used in this treatment do not alter the natural hair growth in any way. You don’t have to try to cover your head because medical hair restoration treatment is undetectable. This process of restoring hair on the scalp starts with a consultation. The surgeon has to scrutinize the healthy hair remaining on the back and the sides of your head. He/she has to make sure that you do have enough hair left to have a successful hair restoration procedure. For this reason, people who have already lost most of their hair are not good candidates for this sort of hair loss treatment.

In a consultation for medical hair restoration, when the surgeon determines that you are a good candidate, he/she will take a small sample of tissue containing hair follicles. These are dissected under a microscope and made into hair grafts. Then, the hair grafts are placed on the bald section of the scalp at various angles to create a very natural looking hairline restoration.

If you don’t want to become completely bald, you should take steps for medical treatments for thinning hair and even medical hair restoration as soon as you notice that a bald spot is developing on your scalp. This doesn’t mean that as soon as you notice that your hair is thinning you have to run out and make arrangements for medical hair restoration. Loss of hair when you are brushing and combing is natural and should not be any cause for alarm. If you are taking other medical treatments, such as chemotherapy, hairloss will also occur, but your hair will grow back when you finish the treatment. When you are not taking any medical treatments and you start you lose your pride and joy, then it’s time to start looking for ways to stop the thinning process.

Medical hair restoration can be very successful, so consult your physician about it.

Hair transplant cost is quite high so before you commit to anything, make sure that this is want to you want. Surgical techniques can be painful, so you also have to keep this in mind as well. Because hair transplant costs are considered to be plastic surgery, it is not included as a normal cost in your health plan. You will have to have your own money to cover the cost.

The average cost for hair transplants for hair grafting is generally on a per graft basis. The total hair transplant cost depends on how many of these hair grafts you want to have. Surgeons will be able to give you an average cost based on each graft, but they will need to really examine you to determine how many grafts you will need to cover your bald spots. There are too many factors involved in determining the hair transplant cost for a doctor to give you a quote over the telephone.

Average costs for hair transplants could be anywhere from $3500 to $9000. This cost is for the transplant of hair follicles from a part of the head where there is hair to a spot where all the hair is gone or where it is thinning. Some doctors charge by the session rather than the number if hair grafts they have to perform, but the hair transplant cost is just as high. This type of procedure is often the best one to choose because you can get the maximum number of grafts that you need included in the hair transplant cost. The consultation with the doctor is usually free, but you need to check on this before you make the appointment.

The hair transplant cost is also usually cheaper for women than for men, ranging from $4000 to $7000. This is because women do not often need as many hair transplants as men do because the balding area is not as large or as prominent. The average costs for hair transplants often do not include the follow up visits that may be needed to ensure that everything is going smoothly and that you are not having any problems. You should also ask the doctor if you get a refund if the hair transplant procedure is not successful.

Hair transplant costs are high, but most are usually happy with the result.

So many men and women have paid out thousands of dollars for a hair transplant that just didn’t turn out the way they thought it would. Sometimes the hair regrowth tended to bulge and stand out noticeably from the rest of the hair. This means another expense with hair transplant repair. In this case it is often hard to make a decision whether to go back to the same surgeon to have the hair transplant repair done free of charge or to go to another one instead.

While hair transplants are expensive, it is possible to get affordable hair transplants done. The first step in this medical procedure is to have a consultation with a surgeon and get answers to all your questions. One of the questions you should ask is what happens if it doesn’t turn out the way it should. Will the surgeon assume the cost of the hair transplant repair?

Before you do consult with a surgeon about a hair transplant, a wise decision would be to read as much as you can about the procedure and what to expect. Look at pictures of hair transplant problems that have occurred and read about the modern methods used.

Once you know the modern methods used in affordable hair transplant procedures you are better equipped to determine if the surgeon will do a good job. Most of the mistakes that result in hair transplant repair are caused by outdated methods and applying the hair grafts at improper angles.

Sometimes there may be scarring or patients complain about the pain they experience. Surgeons that specialize in hair transplant repair also do scar revision work and retransplant hair grafts that are in the wrong position.

Most hair transplant surgeons request their fees in advance. However, they do have affordable hair transplant plans available where you can make a monthly payment until the fee is paid in full.

The monthly payment is actually through a finance company, which means you would be getting a loan to have a hair transplant or hair transplant repair. As long as you have the resources to pay, this company will provide you with the money if you think your hair is really worth it.

Be careful choosing your hair transplant specialist and you’ll never need a hair transplant repair.

Hair Loss is an issue troubling many males and females regardless of age. Hair transplants is one method for dealing with hair loss.

In this article, I discuss:

1. What is a hair transplant?

2. Why choose a hair transplant?

3. What are the downsides?

4. How much will a hair transplant cost me?

What is a hair transplant?

Hair transplants are a form a surgical hair restoration, one of the most popular ones since it is less radical and than other surgical ways to restore hair. Hair transplants have been done by doctors for a long time, and the techniques have had many years to develop into more and more sophisticated procedures. The basic idea behind a hair transplant is that hair is removed from the back and sides of your scalp and implanted on the area of the head were the hair loss is most severe, which is usually on the top of the head or at a declining hair line. Hair on the back of the head is usually not affected by male pattern baldness, and can therefore be used to restore other areas.

Why choose a hair transplant?

One of the biggest advantages with a hair transplantation is that is permanent. Contrary to other popular hair restoration techniques, you don’t have to stay on prescription drugs for the rest of your life or cover your scalp in ointment twice a day. The hair used in a hair transplant is from your own body. Once the hair transplants are finished, no follow up procedures or continued treatments are required.

What are the downsides?

As with all surgical procedures there is always risks and pain involved. The removal and implantation of hair is painless, since you will have received a series of anaesthetic injections into the scalp area. Receiving these injections can however be the source of a considerable amount of pain and discomfort, especially since many of us instinctively dislike having needles inserted to our head. If you will experience a lot of pain or not is very individual, some people claim that it hurt really bad and wished that their doctor had warned them more in advance, while others just experienced a series of mild stings. It is just like taking a blood sample or going to the dentist, in the sense that some people are very sensitive to pain and needles while others hardly feel it at all.

The hair transplant is permanent, and no follow up procedures or continued treatment is required, but keep in mind that you might have to go through several procedures to get your desired amount of hair. If there is a very limited amount of movable hair on the back and sides of your head, this can also be a reason to avoid a hair transplant.

There is always the risk of visible scars on the scalp after a hair transplant. Small scars are always formed where your hair has been removed, but this is covered up by the hair around it and is usually no problem. If you keep on loosing hair after the transplantation, or choose a very short hair cut, the scars can however become visible. It is important to find a doctor who is not only able to make a hair transplant that looks good today, but one that will continue to look good and natural in the future as well. You might want to combine the surgery with some other treatment, like pills or ointment, to prevent further hair loss.

How much will a hair transplant cost me?

It is hard to estimate the cost of your hair transplant, since the price varies enormously depending on which hair transplant clinic you choose. The cost has also decreased considerably during the last few years at some clinics due to competition. Keep in mind that the cost is only one factor to take in to account when choosing a clinic and the cheapest ones might not always be the best. On the other hand, there is absolutely no guarantee that a celebrated, overpriced clinic will do a better job than a more reasonably charging one. Generally speaking, $ 2,500 -10,000 per session is considered standard and you will usually need at least four sessions. Before you make any decisions, remember to make an estimation of how much keeping your hair will cost you in the long run if you chose some other method, e.g. prescription drugs, wigs or ointments.

Men and women visiting a hair restoration centre or clinic have many different motives for desiring hair restoration. Whatever the motive, the decision to undertake hair restoration surgery should be an educated one before any desperate patient becomes an easy game for the unscrupulous hair transplant surgeon paying on fears and panic of his patients for immediate financial gain.

A patient’s education and counseling in a hair restoration clinic or center helps him or her to be the realistic about the outcomes of hair transplant surgery and cooperate with the hair restoration surgeon for designing the hair line or deciding the future course of the surgeries.

Along with the patient’s education, his or her psychology is also an important aspect of hair restoration surgery. A patient should never expect miracles from the hair restoration surgery but only that which is actually possible as briefed by the hair restoration surgeon.

Any article on counseling would not be complete without a discussion of the factors that lead to a patient’s dissatisfaction with the outcome of hair transplant surgery. The dissatisfaction rate among the patients undergoing surgical hair restoration is approximately 2%, even in the best hair restoration clinics.

With the slick, overstated advertising of modern hair restoration techniques and the high surgical fee charged by hair restoration surgeons t is very natural for the patient to expect too much from a hair transplant surgeon. Encouraged by aggressive litigation lawyers, the patients can even go to the extent of suing the hair transplant surgeon.

Though most patient do not go to the extent of suing, more often they grumble about the postoperative pain, lack of graft hair density and threaten the hair transplant surgeon.

A pre-operative counseling session at the hair restoration clinic definitely helps in reducing the disappointment rate with their hair restoration surgery. The prospective hair restoration patient needs to understand the difference between the results that can realistically be produced and the results they wish for.

No matter how careful and ethical the operating hair restoration surgeon is, there is a small group of patients who are very difficult to satisfy. Although no patient can ever be completely happy even with best of results, some patients due to their subverted psychology are much more difficult to please!

Experience has shown that young men aged 18–28 years have a higher dissatisfaction rate than men in older age groups. Their emotional immaturity plays a major role in this regard. Such men may have psychiatric problems, but a good hair restoration surgeon understands and never deprives these patients of the undoubted benefits of hair restoration surgery by a blunt denial. Instead they will do all sort of cajoling to agree them and be realistic about the outcomes.

Perhaps the greatest challenges sometimes do not lie in the actual hair transplantation procedures, but in the counseling process itself. And getting the patient, especially the young patient (at high risk of developing more advanced baldness in the future) willingly agreeing to undergo a conservative hair restoration is like wining half the battle! If a young bald person insists upon a hairline like other peers of his age, he is perhaps demanding something unnatural without any consideration for his future hair loss. And in such cases it all depends upon the counselor to convince the young person to understand that though some hair restoration possible it cannot give him the exact look he expects from the surgery.

Similarly, the counseling session with the patient for designing of his or her hair line also helps the hair transplant surgeon. Considerations of the individual patient’s facial structure, expectations, and hair quality are a must. But, though the quantity and quality of hair varies, the concepts of hair transplant surgery remain the same for every hair transplant surgery performed. By creative planning, judicious use of available donor hair and aesthetic and strategic placing of hair follicle grafts, a hair transplant surgeon can do much for the patient’s expectations!

Experiments performed by the hair transplant surgeon Dr Seager in 1996 gave significant credence to the surgical technique of unit follicular hair transplant. Since these experiments had demonstrated that the survival rate of intact follicular unit was better than the single hair micro-grafts, the use of micro-grafts for hair transplant surgery was more or less dropped. Although the results of surgical hair restoration with the use of follicular unit transplants were sound and aesthetically pleasing, this form of hair transplant surgery suffered from drawback of requiring a long time period (6-8 hr) to complete a transplant session. It involved teams of highly skilled assistants for the hair transplant procedure of separating the follicular units. As the procedure required long time and much skill the procedure was proving to be very costly to the patient. The surgical damage caused to the follicle when two follicular units extremely close together were dissected apart, also started to affect the results of Hair Restoration Surgery.

A reduced success in follicular unit transplantation was more frequent in hair restoration surgeries that were being performed by hair transplant surgeons undertaking follicular unit transplant surgery only infrequently. The fact was of much concern to the professional hair transplant surgeon. The primary reason for a reduced success rate was that the assistants of the hair transplantation surgeon lacked the expertise and experience in correctly isolating single follicular units and dissecting them at a fast pace.

Ensuring that the follicular unit remains intact and is dissected and implanted into the scalp in the shortest possible is essential for increasing the chances of the hair follicles surviving the process and growing. But whenever an assistant was not able to take care of this important aspect, it affected the results.

For the above mentioned reasons, a technique that leaves the follicular unit intact but at the same time advocates the use of three and four-haired follicular groupings for surgical hair restoration was evolved by the innovative hair transplant surgeons. This procedure was found to have many advantages over follicular unit transplantation.

A single hair follicular unit does not necessarily comprise a single hair and may contain 2-4 hairs in a single hole. When the follicular units are found very close to each other in the donor skin sample it is not advisable to separate them as it can cause iatrogenic damage to them. Advantage of this fact is taken to form three-and four-haired groupings when 2 two-haired follicular units or a three haired unit and one-haired unit are naturally placed very close to each other. A group (of 1-4 follicular units naturally placed close to each other) transplanted as a single graft results in superior hair growth and at the same time lessens the surgical damage and trauma to the recipient site.

The hair transplant procedure of using natural groups for the hair transplant surgery has many advantages:

1. It results in much quicker hair transplant procedure as it saves time for separating each follicular unit and less time is required for their placement.

2. Hair transplant procedure prevents iatrogenic injury to follicular units during the dissection phase.

3. It lessens iatrogenic injury during placement phase because follicular groupings are not as fragile as follicular units because of more tissue attached to them.

4. As this hair transplant procedure proceeds at a faster rate, it allows the grafts to be left out of the body for a shorter period of time and increases their survival rates.

5. The last but not the least important advantage of this hair transplant procedure is that it reduces the cost of hair transplant surgery and is there for affordable to the patient.

Besides the above mentioned advantages, the technique of grouping of hair follicles can serve as a crucial tool in an expert hair transplant surgeon’s hands to create wonders through the hair restoration surgery! Success and a natural looking hair transplant requires strategic planning! The grouping technique does not undermine the importance of a unit follicular hair transplant but actually compliments it by conserving more single-haired follicular units for the defining the hair line. The 2-haired follicular groups can be used for gradation in the area immediately posterior to the hair line and use of denser, but not bigger, 3 haired groups to provide the hair-density to the bald scalp behind. Besides saving the hair in the donor area for the future hair transplants this innovative technique of hair restoration surgery provides you the results which are just wondrous!
