There is no doubt about it, if you are developing hair thinning or balding problems the absolute best way to get a natural, growing head of hair again is with hair grafting. The hair grafts are your own so naturally they match in texture and color is going to be very nice. A qualified surgeon, when implanting the individual hair graft, can place it in such a way that the growth pattern of each graft matches the directional growth of the surrounding hair giving a very normal appearance. The fact of the matter is hair transplant grafts are your best bet for re-growing hair in the spots where the thinning has taken place.
The hair grafting system is really quite easy to understand although it takes years of practice for a cosmetic surgeon to get proficient at the procedure. Basically, when a man loses his hair it is due to a genetic condition called male pattern baldness about 90% of the time. This medical condition can be passed down from either the father’s side of the family or the mother’s. It used to be thought that only the mother’s line passed the genes responsible for this problem but current genetic studies have indicated otherwise.
Male pattern baldness is aptly named because what happens is an area of the head becomes bald with the rest of the head having good hair growth. This results in a particular pattern of hair loss that is fairly consistent from man to man. Usually the baldness problems are at the hair line above the forehead, the vertex or crown of the head, and the top portion between the other two. Very rarely to men with this condition experience hair loss at the sides near the ears or at the back of the head. This pattern of hair loss will actually give the surgeon a very good hair graft donation area from which to draw hair follicles to be placed in the balding area.
For the hair implant grafting procedure, the surgeon will remove a thin slice of scalp in a latitudinal direction and then suture this thin line up. Meanwhile his team of medical associates will work to remove each individual hair follicle from the strip. Each hair will have the attached shaft, sebaceous glands, the nervous and blood supply systems, and the adventitial sheath. The technicians are careful to not damage any of these systems as that would make the hair graft less likely to survived. Once the individual hair transplant grafts are prepared, the surgeon will make very small incisions in the balding area, usually less than 1 millimeter, and insert the entire follicular unit into this incision. He or she will have already mapped out how to place the hairs so that they will have directional growth that matches the surrounding hair of the balding area. The combination of using the patient’s own hair and inserting them careful to control growth direction results in a natural looking head of hair that will continue to grow for years to come.
The hair transplant cost is based on several factors including the base charges of the clinic and physician and, of course, the number of individual graft units that need to be transplanted. It only makes sense that the larger the area to be treated the more the cost will be. With the current economic condition in the world you can often times negotiate the individual hair graft cost down to an affordable level.
