12 September, 2012

Heredity is seen as the primary reason behind hair loss but there are some secondary reasons like some medications including the chemotherapy that can lead to this dreadful emotional experience as well. But now with the new hair transplant technique you can grow your hair again and bid goodbye to the problem of baldness.

HAIR TRANSPLANTATION is the best method to deal with the male pattern baldness. The technologies for transplantation have improved a lot over the past decade. It is an art that requires surgical and artistic skills, but to achieve a perfect hair transplant you need a well qualified and trained staff.

Dr. Rakesh Sood, who is one of the leading names in Hair transplant surgery with more than 20 years of experience maintains that the reason for hair fall is genetic. “The best treatment and the permanent solution for this problem is hair transplantation. The results of hair transplantation will be seen in six to seven months and its success rate is about 80 to 90 percent,” Dr Sood told this citizen journalist .

Basically, hair transplantation is an operation where the hair from the back of your head is taken and moved to the area where hairloss has occurred. The hair which has been transplanted retains its characteristics of growth at the bald area. The individuals with sufficient donor hair on the sides of their scalp are the best suitable patients for the hair transplant surgery. But now the modern techniques have done many more advancements and made it accessible to many people.

The different techniques used by the hair restoration surgeons are punch grafting, hair graft, mini grafting/micro grafting, FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)/FUE, tissue expansion and flap surgery. But the best procedure used nowadays is optimal follicular unit procedure, which provides an extremely natural result.

The side effects of hair transplantation are very minor, which include slight pain and discomfort after operation, inflammation and the formation of scabs on the grafts. But the serious problems can be bleeding, infection and scarring, though they are very rare. The surgery costs start from Rs 25, 000 and can stretch till several lacs.
