HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGERY
The loss of hair is a problem that dates far back in time- as far as 3500 BC where legendary figures like Julius Caesar struggled with hair fixations.
According to studies 60-70% of men struggle with baldness and hair loss, while a much smaller proportion of women have the same problem. Many of our clients question the exact cause of the hair loss. This question can have quite a few answers, which all depend on the individual person.
Scientists are still researching and trying to find the exact causes of hair loss, but the most general (and proven) are caused by hereditary factors. Unfortunately, this does not mean that if ones parents aren't bald that baldness won't happen. According to studies, this is due to spontaneous mutation which happens when genetic information changes at conception. Other causes of hair loss can be due to any traumatic events, surgery, radiation, drugs and diseases.
The only permanent hair restoration or hair loss treatment is a surgical hair transplant procedure. The latest advances in hair transplant surgery have made this procedure far more appealing thanks to the far less artificial results which can now be anticipated.
The Micrograft Hair Transplant is the result of the latest developments in this field. This technique uses smaller hair grafts in greater numbers, resulting in an attractive natural look.
In general patients experience little discomfort during the procedure, once the local anesthetic has taken effect.
Just to give clients an idea what exactly this hair transplant process entails: A thin strip of hair, attached to the skin, is taken from the 'donor' area - usually the back or sides of the patient's own head. This is repeated until the required number of hair grafts has been harvested. In the second step of the procedure, the surgeon makes a number of tiny incisions - one per hair graft - into the bald area and transplants the grafts into these.
The length of the procedure varies depending on the size of the area to be treated - anywhere from 2 to 7 hours!
You should plan for 7 to 10 days for recovery but should be able to resume normal, unstrenuous activities within an even shorter time period.
