Representing the latest in hair transplantation techniques, both FUE and DHI are the best you can get for hair transplants. Given how many people out there suffer from the affliction that its hair loss, hair transplants can help them regain their confidence.
Technically anyone can undergo this procedure. The only condition required is that the hair from the donor area is still thick and healthy. Asking if hair transplant is helpful for all kinds of hair loss would result in a yes answer with some caveats.
Hair Transplant Is Helpful for These Kinds of Hair Loss
In practice, it is possible to restore any kind of hair loss with a hair transplant procedure, not only hair loss on the top of your head. Follicular unit excision (FUE) and direct hair implantation (DHI) hair transplants are helpful for all these kinds of hair loss.
Hair Loss on the Scalp
Otherwise more commonly known as baldness, it is the condition most associated with hair loss and the one that is permanent in its nature. It happens due to genes passed down by one or both parents.
The genes make you more sensitive to even small quantities of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the ultimate agent for hair loss. Once formed, DHT goes on to attach itself to hormonal receptors located on the hair follicles.
There, it reacts with them, and the result makes your hair follicles start shrinking. As they shrink, your hair starts to thin. This continues progressively until the hair follicles grow no more, effectively causing what we know as baldness.
A hair transplant solves this by providing your scalp with new hair follicles taken from the back of it. These new hair follicles will grow, unlike those already shrunken.
The best part of it is that hair follicles from the back of the scalp are thinning-resistant. They won’t shrink at all, leaving you long-lasting results.
Hair Loss on Eyebrows
As we age, our eyebrow hairs diminish in quantity. Cuts, burns, and overplucking can diminish the hair there. Our surgeons can graft hairs from the back of the scalp and make a new set of eyebrows for you.
Hair Loss on Beard and Moustache
Just like eyebrows, facial hair from the beard and moustache are also possible to restore. Just as before, hairs from the back of the scalp go into the spots where you are missing them for any reason.
Hair Transplants Are Not Helpful for All Kinds of Hair Loss
You can technically graft new hair follicles anywhere in the body, and it would take to most places. Thus, a hair transplant is helpful for all kinds of hair loss. That said, the procedure is better not performed in the following cases:
- Alopecia-areata-induced hair loss
- Fungal or bacterial infection-induced hair loss
- Childbirth-induced hair loss
- Chemotherapy-induced hair loss
- Hypothyroidism-induced hair loss
Most hair loss originating from said causes are reversible. They will grow back on their own once the condition is under control.
Thus, making a hair transplant procedure unnecessary. Wait between 6 to 12 months after curing the condition. If your hair does not return to its former state, contact us to see if a hair transplant is truly your only choice.
