Everybody can recover his or her lost beauty via hair transplantation procedure.

Prior to discussing hair transplantation and its methods, it is necessary to become familiar with the reasons behind hair loss. We should know, why people start losing hair.
Hair loss and its numerous problems
The hair loss problem involves a great number of human populations, including both men and women. Although, the problem affects men almost two times more than the way it targets women; the issue is directly linked to aging, and hair loss is being deteriorated, when both men and women are getting old. Even though, there are many reasons for the hair loss in human-beings, to a large extent androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common factor, which plays a key role here. This is a pattern of hair loss, which is sensitive to androgens, that can affect both men and women.
Many people describe their hair loss as distressing, which hurts their mood in a period and makes them feel bad about the problem. Many of us maybe experience it, when we shower, we look at our hands after using shampoo, witnessing that there is hair on our hands.
Or after combing our hair, we see a comb full of hair strands; then, we feel panic. The repetition of such an experience will add to our fear and anxiety. We look at mirror and imagine ourselves disappointedly as a person who is turning into a bald one. The situation would repeat to the point that we do not have self-confidence any more as it used to be in the past. Even our social relationships get into trouble in several cases.
Following the nonstop hair loss, most of us ask ourselves why our thick hair that had no problem, has started falling. What has caused the hair loss? Do we really need to have thin hair and get accustomed with baldness? Has a disease been the root cause of the problem? What is the solution? It should be said that unnatural hair loss can have various reasons.
What causes hair loss?
You may ask yourself, why severe hair loss occurs for certain people, while others have healthy and thick hair. Hair loss can have various reasons, which we will mention them as following:
Inheritance
Perhaps it can be said that the most common reason behind the hair loss in most cases is frequently hereditary disease, which occurs along with getting older. This is the androgenetic alopecia disease or baldness for men or women. The disease causes a receding hairline for men, but when it comes to women, they lose hair in crown of their head, and their hair starts thinning.
Hormonal imbalances
The hormonal imbalances, which have their roots in pregnancy, childbirth and menopause for women, and thyroid disorders for both genders are among situations that can cause permanent or temporary hair loss. Testosterone hormone in men turns into dihydrotestosterone, which affects hair follicles, causing baldness in a gradual pace.
Health problems and diseases
Health diseases consist of Alopecia Areata, which is an autoimmune disorder, as well as scalp infections derived from ringworm and chemotherapy due to cancer that can end up in permanent or temporary hair loss.
Medications
Certain medications that are being taken by people can have several side effects, including hair loss. Medicines, which are being used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, gout and high blood pressure, can have such side effects. Head radiation therapy can be one of the factors that causes the hair loss.
Being exposed to severe stress
Many people who live a life-style full of stress for a long time, they may gradually face hair loss. The issue applies for people who face physical or emotional shocks.
Among the mentioned cases and factors, which can cause hair loss, one can say that the most effective factor is inheritance. It should be noted that the sort of hair loss, which comes from inheritance, especially for men is permanent and irreversible, ending up in total baldness.
This is the issue, which turns into a nightmare and big trouble for the most men. There are several ways to prevent hair loss, but when people have experienced total hair loss, the only method to return to the days of being good-looking can be gained through hair transplantation procedure.
Ways to avoid hair loss, How can we reduce hair loss?
Prior to reviewing ways to avoid hair loss, it seems to be necessary to become aware of the important issue that what kind of elements intensify hair loss. Surely, they are the factors that the development of one of them in a person can increase the possibility of losing hair in that person. Identifying such elements and controlling them can decrease the hair loss to some extent. Therefore, we introduce some of the risk factors as follows:
- Aging
- Baldness of father as well as a member of fraternal or maternal family
- Remarkable weight loss
- Blood pressure
- Diabetes
- Lupus disease
- Poor nutrition
Any of these factors can cause the deterioration of hair loss in different people. Aside from inheritance and aging, other cases can be controlled by strong nutrition, exercise, proper usage of supplements and medical consultations with specialist doctors.
If your hair loss does not have its roots in inheritance and it occurs for example because of hormonal imbalances, you can see a specialist physician and cure the hair loss by the use of medicines, which can stabilize your hormones. Whenever the hair loss has happened as a result of lack of vitamins or minerals, you can use supplements in order to solve the problem.
Is the hereditary hair loss preventable? What should we do in dealing with hereditary hair loss?
Unfortunately, we should say that most cases of baldness happen because of genetics and the male or female pattern of hair loss is not preventable. Baldness in such cases is almost definite. Common treatments show weak results and merely in certain cases can postpone baldness or alopecia to a small extent.
The usage of vitamin supplements such as Vitamin B or micronutrients like Zinc can decrease hair loss to some extent, but after stoppage of taking such supplements, the hair loss will resume. In cases related to severe and hereditary hair loss, the usage of Minoxidil can be helpful.
However, excessive usage of Minoxidil can have side effects such as heart problems and high blood pressure. Following the termination of using Minoxidil would end up in losing all hair that have so far maintained their growth.
Hair transplant only way to cure genetic hair loss
If we want to be sincere, we should say that there is no way to prevent hair loss, especially when it occurs because of inheritance and has male or female baldness pattern. The only effective treatment for such a hair loss in the world is hair transplantation.
The alopecia happens mostly among men on the basis of a male pattern. As researches have shown, male baldness pattern is being linked to male sex hormones such as testosterone and as a whole androgen.
You should be aware that each single-strand of hair has its own special natural circle of growth. When male baldness pattern occurs, the circle begins fading and it causes weakening of follicular units on a daily basis. As a result, hair strands start falling down and in the next phase, the follicular units grow thinner and shorter. The process continues to end up in a total baldness. In the end, the hair growth circle comes to an end and new follicular does not grow to replace the fallen hair.
Are the anti-hair loss drugs and pills effective?
Some physicians may prescribe Finasteride medication to those men who are suffering from male baldness pattern. Finasteride is an edible medication, which helps reduce hair loss among men. The percentage of effectiveness of the medication is higher than Minoxidil’s. You should know that the drug would bring about serious side effects for men.
The mechanism of Finasteride is based on preventing secretion of male sex hormones. This important point is sufficient for you to become familiar with its severe side effects. Because if a man cannot secrete sex hormone, he will lose many of his masculine traits.
Other side effects of Finasteride medication have been mentioned as depression, itching, hives, sensitivity of men’s breast tissue, unusual enlargement of men’s breast size due to lack of secretion of sex hormone, inflammation of face and lips, painful ejaculation amid sexual relationship, pain in testicles as well as problematic erection.
As you see, almost all treatment methods are ineffective in stopping hair loss and baldness and they even have side effects. The only confirmed procedure in the world is hair transplantation, which is nearly the definite treatment method for the problem.
Hair transplantation and its overall mechanism
Briefly, hair transplant is a surgery process, when follicles are being extracted from back of the head or beard region. Then, the follicles are being transplanted into the area of the head that is suffering from hair loss. The procedure does have much less side effects in comparison to other methods, and its significant advantage is that its result will last permanently. Because the transplanted hair starts growing just like the natural hair after a due time, and the hair will stay forever.
دIn hair transplant, which is considered as a less invasive method, grafts consisting of follicles genetically resistance in the face of baldness (for example follicles from back head) are being transplanted into a part of scalp that is suffering from baldness and hair loss. But this is not the only way to utilize the hair transplantation method.
Hair transplant can be used for beard, eyebrows, eyelashes, breast hair as well as filling in scars created by incidents. Therefore, hair transplantation is not limited to scalp area and the method can be applied for every part of body, where it is needed. Recent progresses in hair recovery via surgery have turned hair transplant into a very effective, safe and reliable procedure for patients, who are suffering from androgenetic alopecia, in order to provide them with younger and more natural appearance with new hair.
What is the aim of hair transplant?
The aim of hair transplant is to make people’s appearance younger and more good-looking, especially those who are suffering from hair loss in particular as a result of androgenetic alopecia. The hair transplant procedure returns lost self-confidence to such people and helps them feel better, attend social gatherings more confidently and get rid of self-isolation.
Hair transplant and recovery of hair is not only a simple surgery for many people. This process seems to be a sort of providing people with the opportunity to return to life and enjoy it once more. Because the procedure’s psychological impact can have positive effect on all aspects of personal life. Definitely, those people, who lost their hair and are suffering from baldness, can properly understand the psychological stress created by hair loos and baldness; for the reason that having pretty hair has turned into an envy for such people.
Hair transplant is in general a harmless method and is the most common plastic surgery procedure among men. The general objective of hair transplant is to recover hair in areas of scalp that have lost hair and suffered from baldness. The procedure multiplies beauty of people’s appearance and has great effect on presenting individuals younger.
Various hair transplants; their advantages and disadvantages
There are different hair transplant procedures, which have their own advantages and disadvantages. The various hair transplant procedures have remarkably progressed within years and their advantages have been enhanced day-by-day, while their disadvantages have been reduced. Moreover, it should be said that given each person’s physical condition and their hair bank, a physician decides on applying a special kind of hair transplant method; since, every method is not applicable for any person.
In the following, we scrutinize various sorts of hair transplant procedures and provide you with information on advantages and disadvantages of each method. When you are well acquainted with all methods of hair transplant, you can make a better decision in this respect. Furthermore, better acquaintance with different hair transplant methods can assist you to have a more real expectation of the result of hair transplantation.
FUT Method
If we look at the history of hair transplant, we see that the first hair transplant procedure was operated in Japan around 80 years ago. In the beginning, the hair transplant operations could not end up in satisfactory results; in such a way that the individual looked like a doll and transplanted hair was not as good-looking as natural hair at all. In the first glance, when others looked at the person who had conducted hair transplant procedure, they could find out that the individual had carried out the procedure and they could easily realize the hair had unnatural form. The issue had turned hair transplant into a taboo in the then society.
The old methods were being utilized until surgeons started transplanting follicular units for the first time. In the new method, the result of hair transplant had a very natural appearance. There were no more problems in new procedures that were common in old methods.
Hair transplant is being conducted by the use of transplanting follicular units from a strip-shape band. In the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method, a strip of tissue of the back of the head is being extracted from donor area of scalp to be transplanted in recipient one. The exact size of the strip of scalp depends upon follicles required to cover bald areas of each person’s head. The width of the strip is not usually more than 1 to 1.5 centimeters.
In this procedure, the extracted strip from donor area, which entails follicles, is being separated under microscope; then, the strip is being divided into grafts, which include one to three follicular units.
Subsequently, some cuts are being created in recipient area and the grafts are being transplanted into the incisions. It should be mentioned that this surgical procedure has the best result among other methods in covering receding hairline caused by male baldness pattern.
Advantages of FUT hair transplant
- The capacity of achieving high-density hair in this method
- The cheaper cost of the method comparing to other methods
- High quality of transplanted grafts and follicles
- Keeping 95% of follicles healthy in this method
When it comes to disadvantages of the method, it should be mentioned that this procedure needs suturing along with bleeding and potential remaining of scar on scalp. Although, if a specialist physician conducts the procedure in a correct way, the scar will disappear.
FIT hair transplant
The Follicular Isolation Technique (FIT) hair transplant method is also being known as the Follicular Unit Extraction Technique (FUE). Its procedures are very similar to FUT ones. They are different in the fact that FIT contrary to the previous method (FUT) does not need cutting a strip of scalp, including follicles.
In the FIT method, grafts are being extracted separately by a special punch from donor area and are being transplanted into recipient region. The advantage of this method in comparison to the previous one is that the latest method does not leave any scar on scalp. Moreover, the scalp seems to be more natural and beautiful in this method.
One of the disadvantages of the method is that it is possible, 10% to 50% of follicles are being hurt during the waiting time and transplantation procedures. Certainly, this situation will happen if you go to a clinic, where its specialist physician does not participate in hair transplant surgery most of the time. In such clinics, hair transplant is being carried out merely by experimental technicians, whose job quality is not very appropriate. The result of such a hair transplant procedure would be unnatural hair and unappealing appearance.
You can go to well-founded clinics, which utilize advanced apparatus, to remove such a deficiency and stop having such a problem; because this method is one of the very good and basic methods that can bring eye-catching success. It should be mentioned that side effects of this method are lower in comparison to the previous one and FIT procedure does not need any suturing operation.
FUT+FIT
hair transplant
The combined method is being utilized for those people who want high density of hair or are suffering from a vast area of baldness. As its name shows, this method consists of two previous mentioned methods and possesses advantages of both procedures.
BHT hair transplant
The difference of this method with other hair transplant methods is related to the follicular donor area. In other methods, grafts are usually being extracted from back of the head, but in this method, grafts from other parts of body such as breast, beard or back are being used for hair transplant procedure.
Why should we go to valid clinics for hair transplant?
Unfortunately, it should be said that some 90 percent of hair transplant clinics cannot apply state-of-the-art technics because of lack of enough experience, necessary skills, specialty, advanced and up-to-date equipment.
One of the problems that clients of such clinics face is scars and injury, which are being left on the scalp and create inappropriate appearance. Given the fact that the rate of hair loss and follicular death is high in such clinics, the transplanted hair would look most likely unnatural and doll-shape, which is not good-looking at all.
However, the most important problem amid hair transplant procedure is that a specialist physician is not participating in the process and the job is handed over to experimental technicians, who do not have enough know-how and skill in this regard, and they do not even observe primary medical principles such as sterilization in many occasions. The negligence will bring about various side effects and create infections, which can affect the result of hair transplant in a negative way..
In some cases, it has been seen that some technicians extract follicular units in an unprofessional way from hair bank; in such a way that many follicles are being killed. On the other word, it would be very hard for hair bank to replace and regenerate the missing follicular units, which had been destructed due to unprofessional extraction. This is the issue that you should pay heed to it, when you want to choose a well-founded clinic to go ahead with hair transplant procedure.
