5 Things To Consider Before Getting A Hair Transplant

Baldness is not a big issue or does not has any negative effect on physical health. However, it has negative effects on mental health, because being a bald-headed person, especially at a young age, greatly affects personality, self-confidence, occupation, as well as love life. Baldness is an unavoidable problem for every man. It may appear sooner or later, varies from person to person. Because it is mainly caused by genetics and male sex hormone that is naturally present in all men and women. In men, the main male sex hormone is testosterone which can be converted into another male hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by 5-alpha reductase enzyme at the hair follicles. DHT is a major cause of hair follicle shrinkage, hair loss and gradual thinning and eventually results in complete baldness. There is no method as effective as hair transplantation.

With the innovation of “hair transplantation”, many men who do not want to solve their problems by medication which is only effective at a certain level, start to get a hair transplant for the better results. In addition, some people take this opportunity to improve their appearance with hair transplantation which can design the hairline in a more proportional face. After the area where the hair falls out is refilled and restored, it helps keep that person looks younger.

However, before getting a hair transplant, there are things to consider before paying a large sum of money as follow:

1) Not everyone can get a hair transplant using DHI or FUE method.

Of course, everyone who has baldness problems would like to grow their hair back, but not everyone can get a hair transplant. This is because hair transplant involves harvesting your own hair follicles on the back of the head which is less affected by DHT hormone. The obtained hair follicles units are then implanted at the desired area like transplanting the seedlings. Therefore, try to grasp your nape, if there is still a lot of hair, then you can get a hair transplant using DHI or FUE method.

However, the doctors have to examine the hair grafts obtained from the occipital area whether they are healthy and sufficient for the desired area, in case the problem area is large. If the amount of hair grafts is too small to implant at a high density, it would be difficult to get a thick and natural hair. Therefore, the problem area must be evaluated and designed to fit the amount of hair grafts of that person in order to get natural looking results in long-term.

2) DHI or FUE hair transplantation isn't always the only solution for baldness

Most people think that hair thinning and baldness is the same problem and must be solved with the same technique, either DHI or FUE. In fact, people with “hair thinning” are those who still have growing hair strands mixed with smaller strands and may be occur in combination with some hair fall, exposing more of the scalp. This problem can be solved by ReCell Hair Microtransplant. In this technique, hair follicle stem cells are injected in order to stimulate and repair the weak hair follicle cells to produce more hair shafts and look thicker covering all the scalp.

3) What is graft?

Graft is a term used in hair transplantation process which means a hair follicular unit (bunch of hair) extracted to be used in hair transplantation. In general, each follicular unit contains several hair shafts and we all have follicular units of all sizes on our scalp. In hair transplantation, the amount of grafts required is depending on the problems each person. The excised grafts are carefully prepared and classified by the number of hair shafts in each graft before transplant into the desired area. Hair transplantation therefore requires precision and thoroughness in order to obtain strong, healthy and natural looking hair, the results that will stay with you for life.

In medicine, graft refers to a healthy and strong tissue extracted from a particular part of the body to be used in repairing other damaged part of the body. Therefore, hair graft is a healthy and strong hair tissue that is removed to repair the areas without hair.

4) Transplanted hair can fall out in the initial stage

It’s normal for the transplanted hair to fall out during approximately 1 month after hair transplantation. The hair in the vicinity may also fall out (shock loss period). Many of you may be worried that the transplanted hair will fall our and will never regrow itself. You don’t have to worry because the hair follicles have already implanted firmly on the scalp. Over time, the new hair shafts will regrow out of the scalp and your hair gradually will turn into its final shape after 1 year.

However, for the best results, you should follow the doctor’s recommendations.

5) Hair transplant by experienced doctors
