So what does hair transplants for men entail anyway? I was asked that question the other day by a guy who was spending almost $200 a month on some hair growth solution he was buying on line. Two hundred bucks a month maybe wouldn’t be so bad if it was re-growing his hair but no such luck. His hair was falling out faster each week and people were starting to comment on how thin his hair was. So I told him a little about why hair transplant men are the best way to get your hair growing in that thinning or balding area again. I decided to pass the same information on to you.
The problem with most hair growth remedies is they really don’t deal with the basic cause of the hair loss. These cockamamie remedies, I saw one yesterday that had the sweat of emu’s in it or something, these do nothing to deal with your hair loss. The fact is, once your hair falls out the chances of doing anything to get it growing again are very small. There are a few treatments you can use that will help to slow down the hair loss and even stop it in some cases but none of them will help much with the baldness.
The hair transplantation procedure is really simple in theory. When men lose their hair the vast majority of them do so because of a genetic medical condition known as androgenic alopecia. When the man is affected with this problem the hair follicles on a certain area of the head are rendered useless by a substance called DHT. This DHT attacks the hair follicles and causes them to stop producing hair shaft material Eventually the hair falls out and it can not be replaced. The interesting thing about this condition for men is the hair on the entire head is not affected. The only affected hair are the ones on the top of the head. This leaves hair growth at the sides by the ears and at the posterior area. This thick growth at the back of the head is perfect to be used as a donor site for the men hair transplants. The removal site is easy to cover and the hairs are very healthy so they can be utilized as hair implants.
The surgeon will remove growing hair follicles with their hair shafts from this donor area and then implant those follicles into the balding area. Within a few weeks the hair follicles have established themselves by connecting with the surrounding blood supply. The actual hair growth does not start right away because of the stress of the move but you should see good coverage within six months.
