Androgenetic Alopecia or pattern baldness is a common occurrence in men and women and is usually due to genetics. Even though genetics is the cause of hair loss, some people experience more hair loss than others. The point is that each case is unique.
When dihydrotestosterone or DHT is a hormone that causes hair loss in some people. It weakens hair follicles in certain areas on your head, usually the top of the head until hair in that area starts to fall out, this process is called miniaturization. A hair transplant rectifies this by planning healthy grafts from the donor area.
Stress is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Hair fallout due to stress is often called Telogen Effluvium which causes premature falling of hair. It causes your body to produce more cortisol than usual during times of high stress (for example during an exam or meeting). Cortisol is a hormone that signals “fight or flight” responses in the body so that you can react quickly when danger appears. When too much cortisol is produced over time and stays elevated for long periods of time—such as when someone hasn’t slept well or had good nutrition—it can lead to thinning hair on top (also known as pattern baldness) and/or receding temples (balding around the sides).
Hair loss can be ratified using the non-surgical and surgical treatment and transplant options. In non-surgical options, there are options like platelet-rich plasma therapy, Minoxidil, specialized shampoos and conditioners, and low-level laser therapy. Surgical hair transplant options are a permanent solution to hair loss and involve removing healthy hair from the ‘donor’ area which is the back of your head where usually the hair is strong and healthy and grafting it to the ‘recipient’ area. A graft is a naturally occurring cluster of hair that consists of 1 to 4 hair follicles. When these grafts are implanted in the recipient area, they retain the properties of the donor area thus, hair regeneration yields strong and healthy hair. Surgical transplant plan is of different types of hair extraction, grafting, and implanting techniques that are used worldwide. There are many types of hair restoration procedures that are commonly used: Microneedle hair transplant Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).
Other than the FUE and FUT extraction methods, the Microneedle hair transplant technique is very effective in planting grafts in the recipient area. Microneedle is a scientific and advanced method for hair transplant. Hair follicles are loaded into the Implanter pen, a device that extracts and implants follicles with precisions into the scalp. Compared with the traditional transplanting method of applying scalpels and forceps, the advantages of Microneedle Hair Transplant are smaller wounds, higher density, and more natural direction, which is widely recognized by the hair transplant industry and also recommended by ISHRS.
