How does hair transplantation?

This is a basic article on as modern hair transplantation to understand how far we've come today works with a little review of the history of hair growth. If many of my patients come me to see, they are simply of a hair transplant as works and what they have to, do maintain the results in the course of time, confused.

We go back to the beginning. Back in 1939 and 1942 Okuda and Tamura in Japan found out that hair from the back of the head would pubic hair loss newly transplanted survive and grow. Due to the public bathing rituals in Japan and a condition of the disease in young Asian women pubic hair loss suffered, it proved the transplantation is an important step to know that an area of the body in an other transplanted hair would thrive and survive. It was however not up to the famous New York Norman Orentreich in the 1950s we did dermatologist, that hair from the back of the head on the front of the head moved where it is not lost in the course of time baldness as it the original hair. He called this phenomenon "donor dominance" means, that would be the hair the characteristics of the donor hair keep from the back of the head to an area of genetic susceptibility for hair loss and lost not in the course of time. This was the brilliant breakthrough we needed to know, that despite results still is transplanted into an area that was predisposed having towards hair loss would survive.

If you then questions why the hair in the back of the head are not susceptible to hair loss? Knows well that only God. However, it is the case. Think of the baldest man, that you know (, which has shaved from the hair on the back of the head). There again, he has still a patch of hair. Even the baldest man has a retained Horseshoe of hair in the back of the head. The only trick when then perform a hair transplant is to know which is "safe" for the transplant, that is the area in the course of time not lost, if the person is older. This is an important reason why transplanting individual with 20 years could be problematic. We just don't know how much hair in the back of the head in the course of time will not fall out. Plus, we can run from donor hair transplant the front of the head and holds a natural result of like more hair (, which were not transplanted) as one ages fall out.

This judgment is really one of the most important attributes that separate an experienced hair transplant surgeon from novice. To know whom you operate on (that is, that sure is and who is not) Cardinal to safe hair transplant is performance. With the laws of supply and demand, someone who has enormous donor hair density, i.e. There are a lot of hair follicles per square centimeter in the donor, can cover a huge level of baldness course and impressive in many cases. A surgeon's use of grafts will help ensure that the result of both when the hair loss and usable donor hair is also tight in the face of a certain person distribution with well angulated considered natural in a good pattern.

The other question is often asked is "The hair transplant exactly like the other hair that I will be there, which were not transplanted?" "It is the same as my other hair I cut?" The answer is an emphatic yes. I further declare that procedure hair simply take a hair transplant from one side of the head to another like a flower of a pot and move him to another movement. It will grow in his new environment such as in the previous one. Although the number of hairs transplanted into not just the hair lost correspond to is, the use of good technology, the surgeon can make 5,000 transplantiert hair (generally large meeting) looks like 50,000 hair lost the (at the beginning of hair loss), that baldness is obvious.)

Hopefully, this short article on understanding how modern hair transplantation was works either helpful, someone curious, how this process works or is seriously have done in the light of the proceedings.
