Causes of baldness:

Both males and females may suffer from baldness. Males commonly experience baldness in later stages of life. But sometimes they may become bald at a very young age. This happens for females as well. The causes of premature baldness are:

  • Genetic predisposition
  • Hereditary – This happens when you have a family history of premature baldness
  • Hormonal imbalance (causes Alopecia areata)
  • Side-effects of certain medications
  • Chemotherapy or radiotherapy side-effects
  • Malnutrition – Your diet lacks important vitamins and minerals needed for hair growth
  • Excess mental and/or physical stress

Can balding hair grow back?

Baldness induced by chemotherapy or radiotherapy, malnutrition, stress, or hormonal imbalance is reversible by reversal or stoppage of the causing factors in most cases. But if you have a genetic predisposition or hereditary baldness, your balding hair cannot grow back. In some of the reversible cases too, you may not be able to regrow your lost hair. This happens when the severity of the initial cause has exceeded a certain limit.

Can balding be cured? Well, balding cannot be “cured” per se. But, when you opt for the service of hair transplant in Kankurgachi, you can grow new hair on your scalp!

What is hair transplant?

Hair transplant is the procedure of covering up the bald areas of your scalp. It is a medical procedure where living hair follicles are transplanted to bald areas of the scalp. The transplanted hair follicles are resistant to balding. Hence, new hairs arise from the transplanted grafts after the recovery period.

It is a meticulous process. Therefore, getting it done by experienced professionals is important to achieve the desired result. At Kaayakalp, our skilled cosmetic surgeons provide the best hair transplant service in Kankurgachi.

Which part of body hair is used for hair transplant?

There are two types of hair present in the human body. The vellus hair is the fine hair that grows on most of your body. It is thin and slightly pigmented. It is mostly felt but not seen clearly by the naked eye. Terminal hair is the hair that grows prominently. Hormones influence the growth of these hairs. Terminal hair is thick. It is the hair that is found on the scalp, underarms, chest, and groin region.

Terminal hair is used for hair transplant. But this is only half the information. Surgeons transplant hair from the back or side of the scalp to the front or top of the scalp. Scalp hair is also transplanted for beard or moustache growth. This ensures natural-looking hair. If a patient suffers from complete baldness, the second choice of hair transplant donor area is the beard or moustache, followed by the chest. If these options are unavailable as is in the case of female patients, armpit hair or pubic hair may be used. But the texture will not produce satisfactory results.

What is the step-by-step procedure for a hair transplant?

Grossly summarized, a hair transplant procedure involves three major steps:

  • Extraction of hair follicles from the donor area or areas
  • Harvesting of donor hair follicles
  • transplant of donor hair follicles to recipient area or areas

Hair follicle extraction:

A suitable donor area is identified on the patient’s scalp. This area should contain viable hair follicles. Existing hair is shaved to a length of 2 mm. This helps in the proper visualization of the donor area. If the scalp is completely bald, secondary sites for body hair are selected for hair transplant. Then, they are prepared by the same procedure.

Following proper sterilization and preparation of the donor area, the desired number of hair follicles is extracted.

The donor site is numbed by the use of local anaesthesia.

The hair follicle extraction is done by any of the following 2 methods:

1. Follicular unit transplant (FUT) –

In this process, a strip of the donor area is cut out. The strip is about 4-5 mm in depth. It should not cut any layer below the subcutaneous tissue.

This strip is placed under a highly magnifying microscope. The hair grafts are separated by forceps. Each hair graft contains about 2 hair follicles. 3-4 hairs are present in each hair follicle. Care is taken that the fat layer of the tissue graft remains intact so that the follicles do not suffer any damage.

The donor area is sutured after cutting off the tissue strip. The suture is cut 10 days after the hair transplant procedure in Kankurgachi.

2. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) –

In this process, a steel punching instrument is used. It works by punching out circular areas from the donor site. This allows the hair follicles to “pop up.” So, no visible scar shows on your scalp. No suturing is needed either.

Hair follicle harvesting:

This procedure is the same for all. It involves separating individual hair follicles from the tissue strips or punched sites. This has to be done very carefully. Intense care is taken in this step to prevent any damage to these hair follicles.

Hair follicle transplant:

This is the final and most crucial step. Local anaesthesia is given to the bald areas. This area is called the “recipient site.” Small incisions are made on it with a sharp needle-like instrument.

With the help of forceps, the harvested hair follicles are transplanted into these incisions. Careful angular transplant of the hair follicles is a must. Only then, when new hairs grow, will it look natural.

It is important to note that the harvested hair follicles should be transplanted to the recipient sites within a few minutes. Or else, they may die.

FAQs

What is a hair transplant?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure which involves taking the hair follicular unit from the back and side of the head ("donor area") and planting them to the areas undergoing hair loss or thinning. A follicular unit consists of one, two or three hair strands along with their hair root (follicle). Each follicular unit or graft is cut out individually under the microscope/ magnification and transplanted into the minute incisions made by needles at the affected area. This latest technique is also known as the follicular unit micro-grafting.

How long does a hair transplant procedure take?

Depending on the degree of baldness a session may require a grafting of about 700 to 3,000 hair follicular units which takes about 6 hours to 10 hours of surgery on an outpatient basis. Most patients will arrive in the morning and will have their procedure completed by evening. View a step by step overview of a typical hair transplant procedure.

What can be done if I had a less than satisfactory or disappointing hair transplant results?

Some of the patients may not get the expected results, this is because each individual react differently to tissue injury and has different levels of capacity to heal, allowing the hair follicular unit to grow normally. If you have had an unsatisfactory hair transplant you can have a revision hair transplant.

Will my hair transplant look completely natural?

A hair transplant when done rightly can look so completely natural that even your hair stylist will not know that you've had it done. It's important to choose the right procedure and the clinic which assures you a complete natural look. The hair transplant procedure that we recommend is called "Follicular Unit Transplant" (FUT).

Are the results permanent?

Yes, since the hair follicles transplanted to the balding areas are genetically resistant to baldness, they are as permanent as your normal hair although you may see some hair fall and regrowth which is totally a normal occurrence as we all experience in our daily life. They will also grey with aging.

When will my newly transplanted hair start to grow?

What does a hair transplant cost?

Today most clinics charge an average of Rs.50/- to Rs.80/- per hair follicular unit, so the total possible expenses actually depend on the degree of baldness; you can have an estimate only after consultation. Some clinics may charge you by the session (sittings) and multiple sittings may be required until you are satisfied with the thickness of the hair growth.

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by the minimal pain and discomfort after the local anesthesia in the donor and recipient areas. Following surgery patients will feel some amount of discomfort, numbness and soreness which require oral medication.
