subject: Get Back Your Hair [print this page] The importance of hair in our lives can never be understated. It not only adds to ones beauty but also contributes to the personality of a person. Hair loss may thus not only affect our confidence but also our self esteem.
Hair loss may be due to many causes such as any medical illness, crash diets, nutritional deficiency, hormonal imbalance, stressful events in life etc. But the most common type of hair loss in modern age which bothers the most is genetic hair loss. This hair loss can affect both men and women, explains Dr. Rubin
Various medications like minoxidil and finasteride and low level light therapy like laser comb are used by Doctors for treating hair loss but the only method which can give lasting results and improve overall appearance is hair transplantation, says expert at Oliva.
It involves transplanting hormone resistant hair follicles from the back and sides of the head which is called the donor area to the thinning or balding areas of the scalp. It is pertinent to note here that hair on the sides & back of scalp are permanent hair & are never lost during a persons lifetime. Transplanting such hair is the reason for permanent results.
Hair transplantation is a simple outpatient surgery done under local anaesthesia and with the latest improvements in surgical technique, the recovery time is immediate and the pain negligible. There is no bed rest or hospitalization required after the hair transplant and the client can immediately get back to home after the OPD procedure. He or she can even get back to office from Day 1 after surgery.
The transplanted hair would start growing within 3-6 months and by 8-12 months the optimum growth in length and thickness is achieved.
Hair Transplantation is a very safe procedure in the hands of a well trained and skilled surgeon and problems are quite rare.
The most important thing to note is that with modern day techniques it is quite possible to give results which are so natural that others will not be able to find out.
In my next article I will be discussing in more detail the technique of hair transplantation.
