Various Hair Transplantation Methods You have various hair transplantation options offering baldness treatments. Two chief choices that you have are a.) Scalp Flap Surgery and b.) Scalp Reduction Surgery. a.) Scalp Flap Surgery In scalp flap surgery a skin flap and underlying tissues are moved from one scalp area to the other. The surgeon first cuts out a section of the scalp that lacks hair growth. Then he replaces it by a flap of hair-bearing scalp. The size and placement of the flap will be decided on the basis of your requirement. The operation scar will be covered by the relocated hair. The objective of scalp flap surgery is to correct a non-traumatic cosmetic defect. Its other use is repairing a traumatic injury site and restoring its functionality and cosmetic appearance. Repairing a skin defect resulting from congenit...

Hair transplant surgery begins, after anesthesia is applied, with removing donor tissue. Follicular units are then extracted from the tissue using a stereomicroscope. This is all done by skilled nurses and technicians. The insertion of the hair into the receptor sites comes later. Once the follicular units for the hair transplant are dissected out of the donor tissue, technicians set them aside in a saline solution. The temperature must be ideal or the small grafts will not survive the procedure. This is done very carefully in order to ensure a good result. The surgeon will make tiny incisions into the scalp where the hair transplant grafts are to go. These are called the receptor sites. They are made with a very thin surgical needle. The surgeon must have an eye for detail to properly set the receptor sites. He must also be very artistic to achieve a natural look, especially at the hairline. The direction the hair grows, both on the front of the head and at the crown, are very importa...

By: Michelle Hudson Proper hair transplant information is important before going for a hair transplantation surgery. Hair transplantation is the process of transplanting hair-bearing portion of the scalp onto the bald area. Recent technological advances have made the operation more convenient, affordable and effective. Some basic hair transplant facts Hair transplantation operation involves several steps like pre-surgery care, post-operation care.

For example, you must not expose the operated area to sunlight for some days. Shampoos and chemicals are also to be shunned. You may experience falling of displaced hair from the rec...

By: Ian Koch There has been a tremendous development in the profession of hair loss treatment the recent years. In older days the only option most people with hair loss problems had was wigs. Little by little various kinds of creams or lotions came in the market, promising people with hair loss to gain their hair back if they used these remedies as prescribed. Unfortunately most of these so called medical hair restoration products didn’t help at all; the poor hairless people had to accept their boldness or wear a wig. Until hair transplant surgery came around. Going for a hair transplant surgery is an important decision that should be taken with care. Before you take that decision you have to consult with the doctor to get an overall idea about the treatment that you are going to take and the probable end results. Testimonials from the earlier patients can also be checked before you decide to select the doctor and the clinic in which you want to get the treatment done. Men are the most...

A standard hair transplantation procedure involves the removal of donor strip of hair from the back of the head from where the follicular unit grafts are dissected under a microscope. These grafts are then preserved in saline and are then transplanted on a bald patch on the crown area of the scalp. Given the time consuming and tedious nature of this procedure, a hair transplant surgeon is often able to transplant only about 500 to 600 follicular unit grafts per day. However, thanks to the recent hair transplan t advances, this technique is often replaced by the follicular unit extraction (FUE). The cost per graft of FUE is typically twice the cost of the standard follicular unit hair transplant procedure discussed above but it is comparatively faster and minimally invasive. Some hair transplant advances In a typical FUE procedure a small round punch is made in the donor area to directly extract 1, 2, 3 and 4 hair follicular unit grafts. The follicular units extracted using this ...

If you suffer from hair loss , than you are fully aware of the emotional and mental stress that comes with this disease. The reason for all of this stress is because our hair allows us the ability to express our emotions in an outwardly manner. Yet, whenever you begin to loose your hair, you are loosing this opportunity to express yourself, which causes much anxiety and unwanted depression. Since hair loss is such a stressful situation it is no doubt that at the first sign of hair loss many individuals begin to search out a hair replacement therapy. Throughout all of the research that individuals do regarding hair replacement procedures, the number one choice is follicular enhancement technology. Follicular enhancement technology is known for providing its patients the ability to grow their own, natural hair, which is something that very few hair replacement therapies claim. But how does follicular enhancement technology work? Basically how follicular enhancement technology works i...

By: Michelle Hudson The process involving follicular hair transplants is considered to be the most effective among hair restoration methods. In follicular hair transplant , the surgeon transplants hair from the permanent zone in the back of the scalp onto the affected areas. The donor tissue is removed in one piece. This is to ensure that the follicular units being relocated from the back of the scalp are not damaged. An integral part of hair follicle transplant is single-strip harvesting as it preserves the follicular units . It also ensures that no damage is caused to the individual hair follicles . Follicular hair transplant technique follows a well laid out pattern. Follicular hair transplants allow the surgeon to use small recipient site. During the surgery the follicular units that are removed from the donor tissue are minutely studied by a microscope. This stereomicroscopic dissection raises the yield of the absolute number of follicular units , and that of the total amoun...

Certain doctors have been aware of follicular units for a long time now, but the knowledge only recently made its way into hair transplant methods. Now these ideas are being used in hair restoration every day. To understand how follicular units have affected hair transplant surgery practices, it is necessary to first understand what a follicular unit is. A follicular unit is a single entity that is made up of several parts. All these parts are necessary to the whole. The first part, and the one most people getting hair transplant surgery are interested in, is the hairs. There should be one to four full hair follicles in the unit and one or two fine hairs as well. There are sebaceous glands in the follicular unit which produce oil. The follicular unit is a living unit with muscle, nerves and blood vessels that are all tiny enough to fit into this small package. The unit is set off by a band of collagen that holds it together. If you look under a microscope at a scalp, you can se...
