There are certain conditions when your hair fall problems can not be solved either through medication or dietary intake. In this respect, hair transplantation is the ultimate solution. Hair transplantation is the surgical removal of hair from a certain area of the scalp and placed on a bald or thinned area.
This procedure of hair restoration is gaining immense popularity by the day and is also advancing in technology. Many hair experts all over the world practice this technique and have made it possible to possible to transplant hair from small donor areas to large bald regions of the scalp. Hair transplantation, though costly, gives phenomenal results and has come into being the most sought after remedy for recovering from bald patches or thinning hair.
Micro and Mini Grafts
Hair transplant surgery uses micro and mini grafts which are now widely used in hair transplant repair procedures and reconstructive surgical hair restoration procedures. Small size, the micro and mini-grafts have lower metabolic requirement than the plug grafts. They also have a better survival rate than the follicular units, which can be damaged during dissection.
As these grafts are able to successfully grow on burnt scalp or fibroid areas, they seem to hold a high promise for reconstructive hair transplant surgeries. Micro and mini grafts along with the single hair unit follicular transplants are reconstructed hair transplant surgeries which are now accounted for approximately 8-10 percent of the total surgeries performed for hair loss restoration by hair restoration surgeons.
Frontal hair Transplant:
For carrying out this procedure a slit is made for the hair transplant surgery and the dissected mini and micro grafts are to be inserted into the scalp as fast as possible. The transplanting of the grafts in the shortest possible time increases the chances of the hair follicles surviving the hair transplant procedures. In the process experts use the no.11 feather blade for making the slits on the posterior regions of the scalp,. These slits are made in such a manner that they heal very quickly.
Difficulties encountered during hair transplant:
Hair transplant procedure for hair restoration of the face including the eyebrows, mustache, and sideburns is a bit difficult and different. If a hair transplant surgeon makes slits near other grafts, the neighboring grafts tend to pop out of their corresponding slits. In such cases, during the surgery the slits are made in a preliminary fashion with the grafts inserted a few minutes later. The hair transplant surgeon uses a Nor Kor needle instead of the blade while the transplant is conducted on the face.
Expenses
It is obvious that hair transplant procedure is not cheap. Remember, that this is a permanent solution of your hair loss problem. So, you need to afford the cost of the operation just once. Some people might say that the cost of medicinal treatment of pattern baldness is cheaper. But if you calculate the total amount of money spent on medicinal treatment then you would find that the later costs you less, since you have to spend money on medicinal treatment over a long period.
Cost Factor
As we have mentioned above that hair transplantation is a costly practice. But there are several factors affecting the hair transplant procedure cost. The first and foremost thing is your choice for the right clinic: this is a very important factor. This surgical method for creating new hair strands has varied costs from clinic to clinic. There are some clinics that charge per graft implantation, whereas some clinics charge even for anesthesia.
Clinics have two approaches to measure the total cost of hair transplantation surgery. First one is the cost per follicular unit transplanted and secondly, the cost per hair restoration operation. In the first approach, the clinics charge as per the number of grafts that can directly affect the cost of the operation. In this case, the more grafts used the more costly the operation is. In the US and Canadian hair transplantation centers, they offer cost-effective surgery with cost per hair restoration surgery as well.
