HAIR IMPLANT
A strong and healthy hair is a normal concern in men, so
when the hair becomes thin or falls out, a certain degree of anxiety is
generated. Early baldness is a concept that is often associated with early
senility. In women this situation is even more distressing. The
solution to this problem is the hair implant based on micrografts.
Baldness affects more than 45% of men over 45 years of age
and in most cases, it is called androgenetic, which is hereditary and much more
common in men than in women. Classically it is observed in the frontal
zone, crown and tonsure of the head.
The hair transplant
in Delhi is carried out using the micrograft technique that consists of
taking hair follicles from a certain area to implant them where they are
missing. In one session 1000 to 3000 follicles are transplanted. The
hair to be implanted is obtained from the nape region from where a scalp tape
is obtained and is immediately sutured. This piece is divided into
thousands of units that contain one to three follicles each.
These micrografts can also be used to graft eyebrows,
eyelashes and sideburns, cover scars.
Final results are seen between six and nine months after the
procedure is performed.
The hair
transplant in Meerut has become a frequent surgery for men. Hair is
a normal concern for men, but occasionally it produces a degree of anxiety,
either because it becomes thin, falls out, or turns gray. Sometimes a
solution is a hair implant.
HAIR ANATOMY
It is composed of Keratin and essentially a
collection of dead cells cemented together, in the form of
spirals. Keratin is the dead protein that is produced by the hair follicle. The
skin contains many follicles densely planted side by side, like in a
forest. It also has sweat and sebaceous glands.
GROWTH CYCLE
Living cells of the base of the follicle capillary has
an active mitotic growth. An adult has an average of 100,000 hairs. A
proportion of the hair follicles are asleep or in cellular rest, part of a
normal cycle, but this hair is recoverable.
HAIR TYPES
- Lanugo:
soft and fine without pith or pigment
- Hair:
it is also soft and without pith, short and rarely exceeds 2
cms. long, can be pigmented.
- Terminal hair:
it is long hair, pigmented, thick and with pith. This is
what we normally know as hair.
ALOPECIA
It is the technical term used to talk about hair loss. On
the contrary, the abnormal excess of hair, in women and children is
called hirsutism.
Androgenetic alopecia is the most common hair
loss in men and women and is related to dominant genes, that is, if it is found
in inherited genes, it is likely to be expressed. This occurs only in that
part of the scalp that has the genetic potential to be inhibited by Androgens,
the male sex hormones. This form of alopecia is typically expressed in the
frontal area, crown and tonsure. This means that other areas of the scalp
do not tend to fall out and remain even in the elderly, allowing to obtain
genetically different hairs to be used in implants if required.
TREATMENTS FOR ALOPECIA OR HAIR LOSS
GENERAL TREATMENTS
They involve aspects such as cleaning, avoiding excess
greasiness, not touching the hair with the hands at all times, avoiding hats
that do not allow adequate ventilation, good quality shampoo, etc.
MEDICAL TREATMENTS, WHICH INVOLVE
- Zinc-based
shampoo
- Local
therapies with injections
- Topical
medications such as Minoxidil and Finasteride
- Medications
to take, such as Finasteride
SURGERY AND ASSOCIATED PROCEDURES
- Flaps: Those
that move a large area of hair from one area of the head to
another. These may or may not include tissue expansion
previously. Partial resections of the bald area can also be
performed, thus eliminating central areas.
- Grafts: There
are various methods for best
hair transplant in Delhi, which basically consist of taking small
bundles of hair (with their follicles), and putting them in another place
on the scalp, giving a doll-like appearance. The grafts can have a
round or square base. Occasionally it is done on a ribbon, as for the
eyebrows.
- Micro
grafts: This is the technique hair transplant surgeon in
Delhi uses today. It consists of taking a scalp tape with
hair from the lower part of the neck, the defect of which is immediately
closed, and the 1000-3000 hairs of this piece are divided into hair
follicles of one and occasionally two units. It is the only method
that has given a reasonably good result, although it will depend on the
characteristics of the patient.
