Hair transplantation

Contents[Hide]

One can lose hair due to various reasons, be it hereditary, or because of some sort of a wound, or because of a certain disturbing experience. Whatever the reason, it is a very undesirable experience. The easy ways out are the various surgical and non-surgical methods to increase the number of hair on your head, available in the market today. Where surgical methods are concerned, the foremost is probably the transference of hair from one part to the other.

This transference of hair, also known as transplantation of hair, is the best in the sense that result is the most convincing. This happens because the process actually shifts the sac, which encourages the growing of the hair from the regions, which are becoming incapable of growing more hair. Usually performed on those who lose out on hair due to age or on celebrities who need to keep themselves looking young and charming, these operations are also executed on those who have lost out on their hair because of some illness or the other. Today, it is becoming more widespread, and is slowing tightening its grip over the female clients too. 

The amount of money and time as well as the process which moves or embeds a living tissue surgically to replace a damaged part, depends on various factors, primarily how much hair one has or rather, does not have on one’s head. It is possible today to transplant from single strands of hair per graft to as many as four strands of hair per graft. While the former is used mainly down the hairline, the latter finds use in bigger areas, which have formed bald patches. Known as micrografts and minigrafts respectively, they are by no means the only types of grafting that there is. Another popular method of grafting is follicular grafting which is an in-between route. It is used alongside the hairlines, but its main application is found in areas which in the danger of turning into big bald pieces.

One needs to sit with the surgeon who is to make the surgery in order to decide on the details of hair transplantation-like the type, the places et al. Often, a painkiller is used and a narrow piece of skin is removed which will be used in the operation. It is strategically removed so that it does not look unusual, and the area is shut off by stitching. After this grafts are obtained and fitted into miniscule holes in the bald districts, which are in turn fixed to their positions by the coagulation of the blood. Even though needles and lasers are freely used, these places repair fast as the scalp is furnished well with blood.

The result depends on the surgeon and the availability of the patient’s hair. There are also extremely less inconveniences, and it is a win-all situation. 

 

1. Hair Transplant Methods

People lose hair because of various reasons, and fortunately today there are various ways to make up for this loss. There are surgical and non-surgical methods like hair replacement, hair additions and hair transplantation. The method of hair transplantation has improved vastly over the last few decades, and now has reached a point where it is worthy of praise. Once upon a time, the procedures involved some twenty hairs per graft; today there are methods in which a single strand of hair is used per graft. This is naturally a more refined and sophisticated method.

One of the most primitive methods is called Strip Incisions. It mainly consisted of tearing a piece of the skin with hair on it, which is then removed and used to insert on areas, which require the hair. Another method via which the dearth of hair is met quite effectively is called Follicular Unit Extraction. It works on the principle of coagulation, and lasers and needles are a regular feature here. In this method Micro grafting is used in which single strands of hair are lifted and inserted elsewhere with the help of painkillers is applied. It is also a furthering of the Strip Incisions method. Similar to this is also mini-micro grafting in which the number of hair is usually more, but mostly depends on the surgeon. In this process, narrow pieces of tissues are cut, making the grafts bigger. It requires a smaller team, and is less time consuming and expensive, and as a result is not as fine as the formerly mentioned method. 

There are a number of rewards for using a method such as the Follicular Unit Extraction. These perks include minimal uneasiness and ensure that your transplanted hair looks natural. It is not a time consuming process, and does not take long to heal as the scalp is well supplied with blood. It does not involve cutting or stitching-, which automatically guarantees that there are no ugly marks, which disfigures your skin. 

Hair transplantation is a boon in today’s world. Though harmless and helpful in most cases, there have been times when problems have occurred which are nonetheless, nothing serious. Complaints of disfigurements, changes in the skin color, eruptions, swellings etc are not unheard of. The development might suddenly become sluggish, and the scalp might become insensitive to any kind of feeling-but these are nothing to be scared of. There are risks involved everywhere now-and side effects are present in almost each and every surgery. To pay such a small price is not considered as a setback by most people.

2. Hair transplantation costs

Hair transplantations are an easy and safe way out of baldness for most people, today. The normal reasons for baldness may be hereditary, old age, hormonal imbalance or even menopause. Other than this, a person may want to undergo such an operation because of some sort of an illness, which disallows him or her to grow hair on his or her head, or a distressing incident, which one has experienced in the past, or, even some kind of a wound. The only factor, which might make some people hesitate, is the money factor. However the expenses depend on a number of factors, just like the end result depends on a lot of things. To put it in a nutshell, the expenses depend on the surgery, the doctor who is to perform the surgery, the area on the patient’s head which needs the transplanting, the number of sittings required to complete the process flawlessly and sometimes even the whereabouts of the patient and the reason for his need of hair transplantation. Other than these things, the basic cost is made up of the cost of the surgery, anesthesia, medicines, facilities etc and the amount of money charged by the surgeon.

Sometimes the expenditure is indeed taken care of by the health insurance, especially when the patient needs a surgery as a result of an accident. However if one wants to beautify oneself, then one will have to put up with the costs. The patient is often aided with the costs so much so that today there are companies, which only deal with helping such patients to handle their costs of such operations. There also exist multiple companies, which loans out money for such purposes. In fact if you think that you will have a hard time paying off the money, then maybe you could look up those surgeons who are affiliated with such organizations so that they can help you out. In fact sometimes you may even come across such surgeons who might go out of their way to help you out by offering you a loan. Some three years ago, the countrywide cost of hair transplantation resulted around four thousand dollars-although this is merely of the surgery alone and does not include the many other costs, which are essential for the hair transplantation procedure. The expenses, when calculated properly can stretch up to twenty thousand dollars. 

There are so many options today that it is not difficult o gather the amount of money needed for a hair transplantation surgery. There are surgeons who help patients to deal with the money matters and many of these trained veterans can be contacted via our forums
