HAIR TRANSPLANTATION
Hair loss may be the result of many factors. Although a person’s genetic background is considered the greatest cause of hair loss, other contributing factors such as hormonal imbalance, anemia and some psychological conditions are also among the important reasons of hair loss. A person’s embarrassment due to hair loss and the fact that thin hair makes a person look older than his or her age are two natural results of this affliction. However, by means of hair transplant, these problems can be overcome.
Hair transplant means treating hair loss by taking hair from areas where the hair roots grow thicker and transplanting them to the affected areas depending on the factors already mentioned.
For example, especially in men, the hair roots at the hairline and the top of the head are most affected because of their sensitivity to the hormone testosterone, and this causes a loss of hair in those areas. However, the areas behind the ears and along the back of the head are not as affected by this hormone and consequently, hair in those areas does not fall out. The process of transferring hair from an area where the hair does not fall out to an area where it has fallen out is known as “hair transplant”.
There are various ways to transplant hair. Artificial hair implants may also be used but it will look much more natural if your own hair is transplanted from one area to another with the latest FUE technique used by DERMAMED. With this method, the transplanted hair will grow naturally and can be combed; it will turn white with age and never fall out.
When transplanting hair, the direction of growth of the implanted hair and the natural hairline are as important as the amount of hair that is implanted. The hairline should be symmetrical and should suit the shape and proportions of the face. The hair must be transplanted according to the way of hair loss and to the direction in which it is combed. The results will be so natural that when friends see you they will tell you how good you look but will not know the reason for your improved look.
