Hair Transplant
Speaking about the problems of appearance, which interfere with feel comfortable and confident, one can not forget about hair loss. The problem of hair loss is a medical problem. Currently, there are various methods of treatment and resolve this hair loss problem. One method is surgical. Surgery is laborious and complicated.
There are the following testimonies to the operating method:
Hair Transplanting own hair in women is mainly used as a corrective surgery for reconstruction of the anterior hairline (high line of temples, high forehead), as well as cicatricial alopecia of various origins. Thanks to the development of modern technologies for transplants hair transplantation is now helping a growing number of men and women.
Here are the main techniques and tips used in hair transplantation:
Follicular Unit Transplantation Has Two Advantages:
Why it is important to use in transplantation is follicular group? Because hair grows in human groups (follicular unit), rather than individually. These groups are compact and surrounded by the skin, where hair does not grow. Skin hair-free up to 50% of the area, so when you remove them to transplant hair follicles are damaged. In the case of multiple follicular units (minigrafty and micrografts), an additional skin graft to require larger incisions to accommodate, and this, in turn, prolongs healing and can affect the final result of the transplant.
Thus, follicular technique makes effective use of stock hair in the donor area, but also significantly improves the aesthetic result, recreates the natural hairline, as well as maximizing the density of transplanted hair.
In the transplanted hair are all the natural characteristics of color, texture, ability to increase life. They require no special care. A few days after surgery, patients returned to normal rhythm of life, because after the surgery leaves no scars and stitches in hair transplantation. May be present only point the wound - traces of which has been observed, almost imperceptible. Reduction process and the healing period after the hair transplant procedure takes place with less painful. Some discomfort is the case, but quickly eliminated by the usual analgesics.
Synthetic hair is made of modern polymer fiber and implanted into people with a shortage of donor hair for transplantation. Advertising firms this procedure, use the term "biocompatible hair," that is not entirely true. Because synthetic hair is made up of entirely of synthetic materials and are foreign bodies to the human body. Company manufacturers claim that the loss of synthetic hair is approximately 10% per year. But in practice it turns out that hair loss comes to 30% or more per year, and therefore artificial "biocompatible" hair will be lost within two to three years. On the clinical trials of synthetic hair is not reported. Thus, after a review of basic techniques of hair transplantation, we can conclude that the most advanced to date is a seamless method of transplantation (FUE), especially when it is necessary to transplant a small volume of 200-500 grafts. For large volume, we recommend using follicular transplantation connections.
The most important thing in deciding to hold hair baldness treatment hair transplant method is to acquaint you with the clinic and doctor. Remember that you are taking a serious decision, and how, after all operations are possible complications (abscess, pustular infection seroma formation, hematoma, dehiscence, necrosis of the flap edge, loss of hair on the seam line). A positive outcome of surgical hair restoration depends entirely on the experience of medical professionals and used in clinical technique.

There are the following testimonies to the operating method:
- A hereditary type of hair loss in men.
- The scar alopecia. State, leading to the irretrievable loss of hair (surgery, trauma, burns)
- Androgenetic alopecia in women. Develops against the background of a significant increase in the level of male hormones in the peripheral blood with a genetic predisposition
- Anatomical features of hair growth, such as deep frontotemporal bald, high forehead, the hairline change after surgery.

Here are the main techniques and tips used in hair transplantation:
- Transplantation of follicular unit
- Seamless method of transplantation
- Transplantation of mini grafts
- Pulling the scalp
- Artificial synthetic hair
Follicular unit transplantation
This technology was first developed by Dr. Bernstein and Rassmanom (Institute of New Hair, Los Angeles, USA). The essence of this method is that the hairs from an area where they normally grow (in the back of the head or the side) are transplanted to places affected by baldness. Use with only the individual naturally growing hair group. To transfer the follicular group of the side or back of the head intact, it is necessary that the donor tissue was removed one piece. This technique, called "allocation Stripes" is the main component of transplant follicular unit. The method preserves the follicular unit, follicular groups and prevents hair follicle. All connections from the follicular tissue donor sites are extracted under the control of stereo, in order to avoid any accidental damage. Using stereo reduces the number of dead follicular groups of about 30-40%.Follicular Unit Transplantation Has Two Advantages:
- All follicular groups reach a maximum in the growth and well maintained.
- This technique allows the operating surgeon to use small area on the patient's body. Grafts consisting of individual follicular unit are extremely small. They put in very small holes in the place of transplant healing within a few days and leave no scars. Before the surgery produced photographs pod operations area. Photographing is mandatory for any plastic surgery. It is used for medical records and compares results before and after operative treatment. In the hospital for one to two hours before surgery hair shaved, my head is treated with an antiseptic. After that, the lines marking the boundaries of sections and inserts a marker. After that the patient has transferred to the operating room. Operations are carried out under general anesthesia (general anesthesia). In the case of small pattern baldness, hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia with intravenous potentiating, which is able to provide enough protection in a shallow, superficial sleep.
Why it is important to use in transplantation is follicular group? Because hair grows in human groups (follicular unit), rather than individually. These groups are compact and surrounded by the skin, where hair does not grow. Skin hair-free up to 50% of the area, so when you remove them to transplant hair follicles are damaged. In the case of multiple follicular units (minigrafty and micrografts), an additional skin graft to require larger incisions to accommodate, and this, in turn, prolongs healing and can affect the final result of the transplant.
Thus, follicular technique makes effective use of stock hair in the donor area, but also significantly improves the aesthetic result, recreates the natural hairline, as well as maximizing the density of transplanted hair.
Seamless Method Of Transplantation
The first publications on the use of a seamless method of hair transplantation appeared four years ago, the United States. The revolutionary spirit of the method was seamless retrieval and transplantation of hair follicles. This method is called FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction, extraction of hair follicles without skin incision in the donor area). The author of this method, an American scientist, Dr. Rassman Bernstein, for his design was awarded the "Platinum follicle." The main difference between this method lies in the fact that we should not remove the strip of skin from the donor area. Hair follicles are extracted by special miniature instruments under constant supervision of high-precision optical instruments. Also, this method allows, with a deficit of hair on the donor area and the presence of large amounts of hair on other parts of the body to transplant hair follicles not only from the head, but also from other areas. Hair follicles are long in a special solution and transplanted to the patient almost immediately; resulting in less loss of transplanted hair after surgery, most of them begins to rise immediately, but not 3-4 months as after other methods of transplantation. This operation can be performed two or three days in a row, replacing for each day up to 300-400 grafts.In the transplanted hair are all the natural characteristics of color, texture, ability to increase life. They require no special care. A few days after surgery, patients returned to normal rhythm of life, because after the surgery leaves no scars and stitches in hair transplantation. May be present only point the wound - traces of which has been observed, almost imperceptible. Reduction process and the healing period after the hair transplant procedure takes place with less painful. Some discomfort is the case, but quickly eliminated by the usual analgesics.
Transplantation Of Mini Grafts
The idea of mini hair transplant grafts, based on a hair transplant with the "donor" area on the top of the occipital and forehead, grafts, consisting of two or three adjacent to each other follicular unit. A narrow strip of donor at the back gives the number micro transplantation that allows you to fill a large area of baldness hair. Under local anesthesia, the donor of the head is cut a flap of skin with hair, which dissects the mini-grafts - "boxes", bearing 20-30 hairs. Mini-grafts are cut again, even at the micro-grafts - skin particles to the number of bulbs from one to three. The whole process of cutting grafts should be performed under a microscope. It's pretty hard work required from the medical staff of special skills and abilities. In addition to accuracy and precision cutting is also very important and fast. Since the smaller the amount of time the donor material is outside the body, the higher the degree of engraftment and survival of grafts, but depends on a good result. Each graft is attached to or made by laser hole at an angle corresponding to the natural hair growth. On average, a single operation carried 1200 - 1600 grafts. Transplanted hair remains for life. However, you should know the following important point, which is not always the transplanted follicles take root, and then decorate baldness may not hair, and terrible scars. Unfortunately, this method can not recover the entire scalp, the maximum that can be done - this is a rare mark hair scalp. The mini micro grafting and no one cares about the natural growth of follicular groups and tries to keep intact follicles. It is not considered particularly important. Decisive factors for the use of this technique - its speed and economy. Doctors usually use knives, equipped with multiple blades to separate the donor strip that is cut into the grafts, using only their eyes without any - or magnifying devices. Because of this, and the result - fat grafts with a lot of unnecessary tissue around the hole and the maximum of the recipient.Tightening Of The Scalp
This is a fairly old technique of hair transplantation. Is as follows: a large surface of the head with no hair, cut, and sewn edges. The surgeon separates by trimming with a scalpel, almost the entire scalp from the inside - before the start of the ears and neck - it tightens and stitches the wound edges. This method yields terrible results.Artificial Synthetic Hair
Some companies manufacture artificial, synthetic hair that is (microfiber). Synthetic hair transplant man practiced for over thirty years. This method of hair transplantation still has not been very successful. Disadvantages of this method in a large number of side effects. They do not grow; causing painful itching in patients lead to indurations processes crude scarring, pus and other complications, and eventually fall out. For these reasons, the United States use synthetic hair for transplantation is prohibited by law.Synthetic hair is made of modern polymer fiber and implanted into people with a shortage of donor hair for transplantation. Advertising firms this procedure, use the term "biocompatible hair," that is not entirely true. Because synthetic hair is made up of entirely of synthetic materials and are foreign bodies to the human body. Company manufacturers claim that the loss of synthetic hair is approximately 10% per year. But in practice it turns out that hair loss comes to 30% or more per year, and therefore artificial "biocompatible" hair will be lost within two to three years. On the clinical trials of synthetic hair is not reported. Thus, after a review of basic techniques of hair transplantation, we can conclude that the most advanced to date is a seamless method of transplantation (FUE), especially when it is necessary to transplant a small volume of 200-500 grafts. For large volume, we recommend using follicular transplantation connections.
The most important thing in deciding to hold hair baldness treatment hair transplant method is to acquaint you with the clinic and doctor. Remember that you are taking a serious decision, and how, after all operations are possible complications (abscess, pustular infection seroma formation, hematoma, dehiscence, necrosis of the flap edge, loss of hair on the seam line).
