Hair transplantation is a technique or even more specifically we can say a type of mini cosmetic surgery that thickens the patient’s bald areas. Different areas can be thickened using the hair tape: from the head, to the beard, to the eyebrows of the patient.
This technique, unlike the now out of fashion and past FUT technique, leaves no visible scars and does not require the removal of entire parts of the scalp. In fact, the FUE hair transplant takes a given number of follicular units of the patient himself present in the nape of the patient’s neck (the so-called donor area), and goes to transplant them in the bald or thinning areas (recipient area).
The introduction of hair transplantation was revolutionary in the field of cosmetic surgery since before it was not possible to avoid the baldness of patients but only tried to postpone it with unsatisfactory attempts.
Hair loss is due to a genetic pathology unfortunately still incurable today called ”Androgenetic Alopecia”. This pathology is typically common in male patients.
The FUE technique not only solves the problem of calvization for many patients but also requires very fast healing times and is therefore the choice of many today.
Hair transplantation does not apply to all patients with baldness. In fact, not all cases of baldness are irreversible. Many calvizations are due to stress or other reversible causes. Therefore, understand and treat the causes, baldness disappears and hair starts growing again. In these cases there is no need for a hair transplant.
If the cause of the hair loss is due to the pathology that takes the name of “Androgenetic alopecia”, then the hair transplant will be strongly recommended to the patient.
In fact, Androgenetic Alopecia is a genetic pathology by which the patient’s hair, malnourished due to genetic factors, goes to thin out more and more until it comes out of the canal and falls and then never grows again. .
Therefore hair transplantation is the definitive solution for irreversible baldness and the patient, before making such a decision, should consult with a specialist doctor defining his situation well and therefore the therapy or best solution for his case.
For those suffering from irreversible baldness, hair transplantation is the best solution because it allows you to thicken the thinning areas in a practical, fast way and with excellent aesthetic results.
