For male pattern baldness, to a certain level of hair loss such as 6 or 7, in taking finasteride (Bovaflex, Qiyue) or topical minoxidil (Mandy, Dafaxin) are ineffective, most people choose to give up the treatment of hair loss, some people choose hair transplantation, human hair is also like other tissues of the human body can be transplanted. Hair transplantation is the complete cutting of the tissue around the hair follicle through special instruments, and then transplanted to the location where the hair is needed and after certain preparation, with the conditions to receive the hair, called head autologous hair follicle transplantation.
1.What is permanent hair transplantation?
Permanent hair transplantation is a microsurgical technique that uses special medical technology to separate healthy hair follicles from your own head and plant them into bald or hair-deficient areas, so that the follicles can grow hair naturally.
2.Will the transplanted hair fall out?
Since most of the transplanted hairs are selected from the back or side of the head where the hairs are dense and vigorous, the transplanted hairs will not fall off in general.
3.What kind of people are suitable for permanent hair transplant?
Because permanent hair transplantation must be selected from autologous hair, the recipient must have a certain amount and density of hair in the back or side of the head (or other parts), and secondly, the hair loss should be in a relatively stable period, that is, there is no significant amount of hair loss at this stage.
4.Will the place where the hair is taken for permanent hair transplant be affected?
The scalp, like the skin of other parts of the body, has a certain degree of elasticity, and the width of the scalp can be taken within 2cm at a time and can be directly pulled together and sutured. Microscopically, there is a slight increase in the evenness of the hair spacing around the hair extraction area, but visually, no significant difference can be seen. Especially after the hair grows, it is covered from top to bottom and does not affect the appearance at all. By the same token, after a certain period of time, hair can be taken repeatedly, twice, three times, or even four or five times.
5. Is hair transplantation a one-time success?
The average survival rate of hair transplantation is generally above 95%, but it is difficult to achieve a satisfactory coverage of the balding area in one operation, mainly because (a) there is a certain limit of hair supply in the hair supply area at one time. (b) It is also impossible to transplant very densely in the balding area at one time. So most patients have to achieve satisfactory results in about 2 times.
6.How long does hair transplantation take and is there any pain?
Hair transplantation is usually done under local anesthesia, so it can be said that the surgery is not very painful and the patient can go home after the surgery. The main reason is that it takes a lot of time and effort to separate the hair into individual follicles or very small embryos, and then to design the hair for the patient and transplant the individual follicles or very small embryos as needed.
7. Can scarred scalp be transplanted?
Yes, but due to the poor blood circulation of scarred scalp, the technical operation is more difficult and the cosmetic effect is generally less than that of normal scalp.
8.How does the hair grow after transplantation?
Most of the hairs after transplantation are shed first, and then new hairs are grown from the follicles again. The hair shedding time is usually around 2-8 weeks after transplantation, while the new hair grows out of the scalp generally after 12 weeks, the hair after transplantation grows out of the scalp completely in about 4-6 months, only in some cases the hair transplantation continues to grow directly without shedding.
9.How to prevent the transplantation of hair does not survive?
First of all, you should choose a hair donor area with good hair quality and no skin disease. The surgeon should have an in-depth understanding of the direction of hair growth in different areas, the approximate angle between the hair and the scalp, then supplemented with special equipment, skilled skills to cut hair, in order not to damage the hair follicle. Secondly, the preparation of the hair transplantation area, including cleaning, hot compress and vasodilator drugs to improve local blood circulation, complete scar removal or hair transplantation cavity size, depth appropriate to the transplantation of hair strains, bundles, strips and the recipient area tissue closely, and pay attention to the prevention and control of infection is conducive to the survival of transplanted hair. After that is the post-treatment of transplanted hair such as protection, drug exchange and other work is also one of the important measures.
10.How long is the interval between each hair transplant surgery
Generally speaking, the interval between the first surgery and the second surgery is 6 months to 10 months.
