Hair transplant: thinking about it?
A minor surgical procedure
Hair Restoration: Hair Transplant Information
The procedure
The final stage
A hair transplant uses your own growing hair. Once placed, it requires only normal
washing, grooming, cutting etc. No special maintenance is needed.
Hair transplantation is a minor day case surgical procedure.
The procedure only deals with the surface layers of the skin: the epidermis and dermis.
The first two layers of the skin contain the hair follicles (roots). Every single
hair follicle on the human head is genetically programmed either to become sensitive
to the male hormone, causing it to die after a time, or to become permanently immune
to the withering effects of the male hormone and last for a lifetime.
These lifetime hairs are found in high density in nearly all men, even those who
are severely bald. They are located in a horseshoe shaped region at the back of
the head called the "donor area".
The priciple of hair transpalntation is to take the permanent hairs from the donor
area and relocate them to the thinning or bald areas elsewhere on the scalp.
The removal and transplanting of hair is a straightforward minor surgical procedure
carried out under local anaesthetic. It only takes a few hours but the complex part
of hair transplantation is the artistry required by the hair transplant surgeon.
Great skill is required to design and create a natural looking hairline zone that
is correct for the shape of your face and your age, now and in the future. The following
are taken into consideration; the correct texture of hair taken from the donor area
and the density of grafts including graft size to maximise fullness and density.
The final stage of the hair transplantation is the placing of the individual grafts
in the correct pattern. Our hair transplant surgeon ensures that scrupously planned,
methodically placed tiny follicular micrografts (often single hairs), grow together
to recreate nature's original composition.
