Hair Transplantation
Overview
Hair transplant process in Nepal at Folliderm or high level clinics in anywhere in the world involves extracting permanent hair shafts along with roots (also referred as follicular unit or grafts) from hair bearing donor area and implanting them at the balding site.
In hair transplantation over the scalp, hair grafts are usually taken from back and sides of the scalp. For clients with advanced baldness of scalp, hair can also be taken from beard, chest, axilla, and other body parts.
The basic concept of hair transplantation is based on the principle of “Donor Dominance.” Donor dominance implies that transplanted hair will retain its properties of original site even when moved to a bald area. We know that in pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), the area in the front, middle part of the scalp and crown is susceptible to balding whereas the area at the back and sides of the scalp is not. (Click here to know about Androgenetic Alopecia). Hair transplantation thus involves transfer of permanent hair present at back and sides of the scalp to the areas of balding. These transplanted hair roots which are not affected by thinning induced by the DHT hormone, will hence retain their property even at the implanted site. Therefore hair transplant is a permanent and perfect solution to baldness. The transplanted hair do not require any medication or maintenance therapy. They continue to grow naturally forever. This ‘one-time’ attribute makes the procedure stand out and loved by patients and doctors alike.
Apart from pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) which is the most common indication of hair transplantation in males, hair transplantation can also be done in case of female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), over beard, moustaches, eyebrows, and various other causes of scarring hair loss.
