Age: Hair loss can be unpredictable for people under the age of 30, which means that the pattern of hair loss will not be fully established and with this in mind, our doctors may find it difficult to design a future hair transplant receipt. If we think you are very young, we ask you to keep a photo diary of your hair loss for about a year and then return to the clinic to analyze and then discuss the next steps.

 

Your donor hair: This is one of the most important factors and the main reason why someone without hair can not have a hair transplant. The density of your hair plays a big role in how good the transplant will look – during a consultation our doctors will evaluate your donor’s hair to make sure you have enough hair for the transplant and also consider any future procedures that may be needed. to need. 

 

General Health: Hair transplantation is considered a minor surgery and there are some minor risks. Because of this, it is important to be in optimal health. All of our patents over 45 must have an ECG test to check their heart health. Other medical factors that may differ from patient to patient will also be discussed during a consultation.

 

What causes baldness in women or men?

A very common cause of male pattern baldness is genetic. You may be more prone to hair loss if your family has a history of baldness. Research shows that male pattern baldness is associated with male hormones called androgens.

 

Androgens serve many functions, including controlling hair growth. These hormones can cause your hair follicles to shrink. As they shrink, vital nutrients cannot reach your hair. If it cannot be enriched, the follicles will die slowly.

 

Every strand of hair on our head has a growth cycle. With male pattern baldness, this growth cycle begins to weaken and the hair follicle shrinks, producing smaller and thinner strands of hair. Eventually, the growth cycle for each hair ends and no new hair grows.

 

Unfortunately for many men, it is not just the luck of the hair, but many of them on the forehead (receding hairline), the top and / or the back of the head.

 

While female pattern baldness occurs, much of the hair loss in black women can be attributed to Traction Alopecia.

 

Traction is a type of hair loss that is caused by excessive tension and pulling on the roots and strands of hair.

 

If you regularly wear your hair with tight buns, ponytails or braids or corn most of the time, these hairstyles put a lot of pressure on your follicles. The weight of the hair and the tightness of the hairstyle can literally pull the strands out.

 

This can lead to a hair loss pattern similar to a receding hairline where “fuzzy peach” or baldness appears on the front, corners and ends. Learn more about women’s hair loss Click here.

 

There are other styling options that can also cause this, such as using devices such as hot straighteners or curling irons or using harsh chemicals to dye, curl or straighten hair. Rest assured that from time to time dyeing your hair, penetrating or using conditioner will probably not cause pulling.

 

However, continuous chemical treatments, on a weekly or even more frequent basis, can adversely affect the health of your hair follicles.

 

If baldness has become really unacceptable to you, then the hair transplant procedure is a great way to restore your hair and renew your self-confidence.

 

We invite you to talk to one of our surgeons and tell your doctor about your concerns about your hair loss and why you think your hair loss problems have become so serious that you are considering a hair transplant procedure.

 

Hair transplantation in our clinic will result in a thicker, fuller and more natural head.

 

Have realistic expectations about hair density after a hair transplant

So how much density should you expect after a hair transplant? Increased density 30% -40% in the transplant area. A thinner hair type will yield closer to 30%, while thicker or curly hair will yield closer to 40%. In areas that have already retained some of your natural hair, adding 30-40% more density is usually enough to meet the needs of most hair transplant patients.
