HAIR RESTORATION OPTIONS

There are many very good permanent hair restoration options available to consider. Hair grafts, also called Follicular Micrografts, are a great option because they allow natural looking hair to grow once the individual has recovered from the surgery. The process allows the implanted hair to follow the pattern of your original hair. Each hair follicle grows in groups of up to four units. They hair transplant method is considered to be one of the best because it doesn’t leave the individual with a contrasting look from the bare scalp to areas covered with thick hair.

Follicular Unit Extraction requires a donor strip of hair to be extracted from the body. The strip contains about a millimeter of hair that project from the surface. It also contains microscopic blood vessels and actual hair follicles. The tissues in the follicular units are then dissected and sorted into units that are transplanted into a natural looking pattern. After the recovery period, these follicular units will grow naturally.

The doctor has to make small incisions in the scalp so that the implants will last a very long time. The doctor has to regenerate a natural hair line that is consistent with the facial structure of the individual. Large grafts are placed on the back of the scalp as a person has hair that is very dense in this area. Smaller units are used on the hair line along the front of the scalp. Each hair is carefully inserted so that it will grow in the right direction.

Another hair restoration procedure that works well is Mini-Micro Grafting where the follicular hair graft units are made up of only a few hairs. This is commonly used only as a method of replacing previously transplanted hairs in very dense parts of the hair line.

Punch Grafts were introduced in the 1980’s but the use of them has declined due to the introduction of newer technology in this area. This particular process involves taking circular pieces of donor hair and then inserting it into the areas of the scalp where hair is missing. It is a very reliable method of permanent hair transplanting. It is commonly used as a combination with another type of hair transplanting. It does take time for the hair to grow from the transplanted area though.

Slit Grafts contain as many as ten follicles that are placed in specific areas along the scalp. They are blended into areas where the hair tends to grow thick. They are inserted from the middle to the back of the scalp with the majority of them being placed at the crown. Strip Grafts are the largest sized hair grafts. They contain up to forty hair follicles. They are commonly used along side Slit Grafts to give the individual a very full and natural looking head of hair.

FOLLICULAR HAIR TRANSPLANTS

Follicular hair transplants are the best ways for hair restoration in baldness. Now a day follicular hair transplant is the most reliable transplant procedure, with almost 100 per cent success rate. And it has various advantages like having natural looking hair. Another advantage that you may take note of is to have less damage to the recipient site, due to small incision.

But you know, it has some disadvantages also. It requires preparation of almost 3,000 follicular hair transplants through dissection. Besides, it takes a lot of time.

SCALP FALP REDUCTION SURGERY

Scalp reduction surgery is used for removal of bald scalp and bringing the hair-bearing scalp closer to it to fill in the bald area on the scalp. In this procedure the surgeon removes the baldness by cutting out a part of the bald scalp skin. Scalp Reduction Surgery has two parts.

  1. In this surgery first part the bald portion of the scalp is surgically removed.
  2. And in second part hair bearing scalp is upwardly stretched to replace the bald scalp that has been removed. Scalp reduction surgery is usually conducted on patients with posterior baldness.

Mostly Scalp falp surgery may be conducted in combination with the surgical procedure called brow lifting but it depends on the patient’s need. The latter is the procedure to remove the frown lines from the forehead and crow’s feet from around the eyes. In some patients this surgical procedure can be carried out through scalp extension or scalp expansion device. This technique stretches hair-bearing scalp skin providing greater coverage to bald areas of the scalp. This surgery is more suitable to those patients who have large areas of scalp baldness. The patient should also have donor hair on the sides and back of the scalp. Factors like the rapidity of hair loss progression and its likelihood of significantly progressing in the future are also to be taken into consideration. Scalp reduction surgery may not be a good choice for scalp skin with little laxity.

HAIR RESTORATION SURGERY COSTS

There is little doubt that hair restoration is best way to cure baldness/hair loss problem. But I know some guys who are hesitant of going for the procedure despite being eager enough to solve their hair loss problem. Simply because they are wary of the hair restoration cost.

Other day I came across this informative site www.hairrestoraton.info, where they have discussed this topic in details. And I can confidently tell you that you can afford the hair restoration without compromising on the quality. Yes, it is true that the procedure is not cheap. But on the flip side it is a permanent solution for your hair loss problem. You are going to bear the cost only once.

Your friends and well wishers might suggest you medicinal treatment, as it is cheaper. But in medicinal treatment, you have to spend money on the process for a long period. While in hair restoration it is only a one time affair. And if you calculate the ultimate cost of the medicinal treatment, then you will certainly find the hair restoration cost to be cheaper.

There are various factors that affect the hair restoration cost. For example the clinic from where you will get the hair restoration done. There are some clinics that charge per graft implantation. And there are some which charge even for anesthesia.

From the site www.hairrestoration.info I got this information that clinics follow two ways to measure the total hair restoration cost – cost per follicular unit transplanted and cost per hair restoration operation. If the clinic follows the first way, then the number of grafts can directly affect the cost of the operation.

Some other factors that affect the cost are the reputation of the surgeon, the advertising budget of the clinic (which it will try to make up by charging you heavily), number of employees in the clinic, etc.

Anyway, I will stick to the point that you can always have a hair restoration that you can afford. Thoroughly study the procedure, and make a note of al the factors that affect the hair restoration cost. Hunt for a clinic that will offer you quality service at reasonable cost. You are sure to find one. Then decide the one you will prefer from various hair restoration optionsscalp flap surgery, scalp reduction surgery, follicular unit transplantation. Get some idea about the pre-restoration precautions and care (you may consult the site www.hairtransplantation.info for that). And then go for your dream hair transplants surgery. Good luck.
