How Hair Loss Occurs

Hair loss typically begins in the 40s due to reduced hormone production. Men might start noticing receding hairlines as early as their 20s or even during their teens due to male pattern baldness. Hair loss affects both men and women differently, with men more prone to developing bald patches and women experiencing overall thinning. Other causes include injuries, surgeries that damage hair follicles, certain medications, or harsh hair treatments. Aggressive chemical treatments or excessive heat can also lead to hair loss by damaging follicles or causing breakage.

Hair loss might be noticeable immediately for some, while for others, it could take years before the reduced hair production becomes apparent. Regardless of its speed, hair loss can be a lasting condition.

Options for Hair Restoration

Several solutions are available for hair restoration. For those experiencing temporary hair loss, lifestyle adjustments like reducing stress and improving nutrition may help.

When dealing with permanent hair loss, hair transplant surgery is often the recommended solution. This procedure involves transplanting hair follicles from denser areas of your scalp to those where hair has thinned or stopped growing. Recent advancements have significantly improved the safety and effectiveness of this technique. The benefits of undergoing a hair transplant include natural hair growth from the transplanted follicles after the skin heals. This new hair blends seamlessly with existing hair and can be styled normally. Many patients see significant improvements after just one session and a brief recovery period.

Preparing for Surgery

We advise patients to improve scalp laxity through regular, firm scalp massages for several weeks before surgery. This not only helps in harvesting a wider strip of donor hair, increasing the number of grafts but also optimizes healing by reducing tension along the donor site.

The Transplant Procedure

Before your surgery, we will prepare you with pre-operative instructions and prescribe an antibiotic to promote recovery. On the day of the procedure, the treatment area is outlined, and photos are taken for reference. The donor hair area is trimmed while leaving the rest of the hair long for an improved post-procedure appearance. The surgery begins with administering sedatives and local anesthesia for comfort. Donor hair is carefully removed, and the area is carefully sutured (if applicable) to aid healing. The harvested follicles are then prepared and transplanted into designated recipient sites, matching your natural hair growth pattern and as discussed during your consultation. Dr. Unger and Dr. William’s close attention to detail during graft preparation and placement promotes a natural-looking outcome.
