Men are equally conscious about their looks as females and also desires of thick and luscious hairs. Most men experience receding hairline in their 30s but could be a normal phenomenon termed mature hairline or could progress to baldness.

Hair loss scares men too in a similar way as it haunts the females. There are many options available and opted by people to hide or slower the hair loss including temporary aids and medications respectively. Among all hair restoration is the most effective option for treating hair loss.

This section presents the ultimate hair transplant guide to provide you the insight of the procedure.

 HAIR LOSS IN MEN: WHY DOES IT OCCUR?

Hair loss in men was earlier considered a sign of ageing but now the story seems to differ. Nowadays even young’s are facing hair loss at an age of early 20s. If you find your parents or grandparents with baldness then you need to prepare yourself to be a part of it as the most common cause of male baldness is genetic dysfunction which runs from generation to generation.

Genetic baldness is also termed as male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia. The genetic dysfunction leads to oversensitive hair follicle of DHT sensitive areas. DHT hormone is metabolite of testosterone for which hair follicles of certain areas on the scalp possess receptors. When these hair follicles are over sensitive to the hormone it leads to thinning and miniaturization ultimately leading to hair loss. This cycle progresses overtime leading to extending baldness.

The pattern of hair loss in men includes initiation from either the frontal area or from the vertex area. The hair loss from the frontal area and the vertex progresses and ultimately meets forming a big bald area leaving a band of hairs at the back and side of the head which is DHT resistant areas. The hairs at the back and side of the head stay intact for lifetime as the hair follicles does not possess receptors for the DHT hormone.

The other causes of hair loss in men includes hormonal imbalance, systemic disease associated with hair loss, usage of medications like anti depressants, anti psychotics and anti anxiety drugs and chemo/radio therapy followed by cancer. The contributing factors acting as hand in glove culprits in causing hair loss includes poor nutritious diet, changed lifestyle, incorporation of junk diet, increased pollution and stressful life.

TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR HAIR LOSS SOLUTION

Hair loss sufferers in desperation try every possible remedy like shampoos, oils and which is suggested by dear ones or which is advertised to treat hair loss. Cosmetic industry is taking advantage of this desperation and is widening its horizons. But the benefit from these products seems questionable.

Temporary aids are also commonly used by the hair loss sufferers which include wigs, extensions, suction wigs and prosthetic hairs. These temporary measures demand maintenance and replacements regularly which looks exhausting and frustrating. Including, the outcomes does not look very natural.

Medications are also available including minoxidil and finasteride. Monoxidil is over the counter medication available as topical lotion which is intended to reduce the hair loss and thickening of existing hairs. Finasteride is prescribed orally administered medication which is intended to slower the progression of hair loss and fasten the hair growth. These medications are found to be beneficial in hair loss but the results stay questionable in terms of permanency. It has also been found that the results relapse after stopping the medications.

Therefore, if you want a permanent solution of hair loss that looks natural too then hair transplant surgery is the only option. Hair transplant for men is gaining lots of popularity as the prevalence of hair loss is increasing so as the demand of hair transplant procedures.

HAIR TRANSPLANT: THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR HAIR LOSS IN MEN

Male hair transplant is a minimally invasive surgical procedure which involves harvesting of the follicular units from the safe donor area of scalp (back and side of the head) or body hairs followed by their transfer to the recipient area or the desired bald area. This procedure needs high precision and is a sensitive procedure performed by a hair transplant surgeon.

HAIR TRANSPLANT TECHNIQUES IN MEN

The hair transplant for men is performed using the two basic techniques which are differentiated on the basis of graft harvesting techniques. These techniques are explained as follows:

• FUT hair transplant (Follicular unit transplantation or strip technique): FUT hair transplant technique is executed by harvesting a strip or patch from the scalp skin which is further divided to retrieve individual follicular units. The harvested donor site is then sutured using the advanced approach “trichopytic closure”. The harvested follicular units are then planted at the recipient site
  

  Hair Transplant Technique : FUT Method

• FUE hair transplant (Follicular unit extraction): This hair transplant technique involves the handpicking of individual follicular units with the help of a punch like surgical device. The hair follicular grafts are further planted at the recipient site as per the aesthetic arrangement.
  

  Hair Transplant Technique : FUE Method

The hair transplant techniques possess their own set of indications and limitations based on which they are appropriately selected to provide the best possible outcomes. The factors on which the choice of the technique relies include Norwood’s classification of extent of hair loss, age of the patient, sex of the patient and hair density present at the donor area. There should be sound decision of hair transplant surgeon to ensure the worth of these procedures as per the case.

There are advanced techniques adopted now which surpass the disadvantages of either techniques and improvised for better outcomes. These techniques are specialty of Medispa India hair transplant clinic in Jaipur and we are the one who are among the very few clinics for hair transplant in India who employs these techniques with high efficiency and successful outcomes.  These innovative techniques are explained as follows:

Combination technique of FUT and FUE: This technique was developed with the thought of providing provision of harvesting higher number of follicular units in single session to treat extensive bald cases. This technique offers harvesting of more than 4000 grafts including preservation of the grafts for further sittings. This technique has made it possible to treat the extensive bald cases of Norwood grade VI or VII in single session possibly.

Combination technique FUT, FUE and BHT: Dr Suneet Soni is one of the fewest hair transplant surgeons in India who successfully incorporated Body hair transplant (BHT) with combination technique. BHT is performed by harvesting hairs from under the chin termed shadow area using a high standards 0.75mm surgical device negating the chances of scarring. This technique provides higher number of grafts and minimizes the use of FUE technique which could lead to overharvesting of hair follicles and violating the safe donor area.

Undoubtedly, hair transplant for men is the most effective hair loss solution but it is not for every hair loss sufferer. The feasibility of hair transplant in particular case is examined and determined during primary consultation. During primary consultation the cause of hair loss is also determined based on which the decision is made. Including, the complete assessment of medical history and scalp is done followed by which your candidature for hair transplant is confirmed.

You can undergo hair transplant procedures when:

WHY HAIR TRANSPLANT MORE COMMON IN MEN?

Hair loss is equally affecting both men and women with causing mental turmoil and negatively affecting psychological status. But still we have heard that hair loss is more common in males than in females. There are some genuine reasons to it explained as follows:

Genetic hair loss or pattern baldness is more common in males

The genetic hair loss is the most common cause of the hair loss the occurrence of which is more evident in males. Have you noticed that male pattern baldness term is itself used more commonly as the incidence of pattern baldness is more common in males. The incidence rate of male pattern baldness is approximately 70 % which is way too less approximately 30 % in females.

The reason behind the increased incidence in males is not just a fact and is practical. The genetic hair loss is caused by the oversensitivity of hair follicles against DHT hormones. This DHT hormone is an intermediate metabolite of testosterone which is produced in men throughout the lives when compared to females which makes male suffers more likely to hair loss problems.

The hair loss pattern is distinct in males and females

The hair loss in males initiated from either the receding frontal line or by creating bald patch in the vertex area. The hair loss continues and further progress with widening of the zones of baldness ultimately leading to co leasing both the bald area forming a large big bald area which at the end just leaves a band of hair at the back and side of the head.

But the female pattern baldness mainly involves central thinning which on progression widens the partition but does not usually lead to baldness.

With the distinct pattern the hair loss in females are quite slow in females as compared to the males.

Based on these facts the hair transplant is less opted by females as compared to males. Hair transplant in females is quite expensive as compared to males this could be an added reason to avoid hair transplantation.

AT WHAT AGE YOU CAN GO FOR HAIR TRANSPLANT?

Baldness usually affects males at their mid 30s but it is possible in younger individuals too. Hair loss sufferers below 25 years of age are usually not the very good candidates for hair transplant but still there is no recommended age for performing hair transplant and could be performed at any age if the conditions are suitable.  The suitable conditions for young patients to undergo hair transplant for men includes:

• When the hair loss is stable from at least 3 years
• When the patient does not depict any other systemic disease which is associated with the hair loss
• When the rate of hair loss can be predicted
• When donor hair density is ample

Hair transplant in unstable young cases are avoided as even after if the hair loss continues then you might lose the adjacent existing hairs which would look very unaesthetic and would also need another sitting soon leading to failed results. Thus, in young patients the hair transplant is not contraindicated but should be considered judiciously as the remaining hair follicles are valuable assets which should be preserved and used at the right place at the right time.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS FOR HAIR TRANSPLANT?

Hair transplant is usually a very safe procedure which involves minimally invasive surgical approach. But its safety solely relies on the hair transplant surgeon who has performed it on you. Hair transplant procedure is highly précised procedure and should be performed by an expert surgeon.

The hair transplant is sequealed with mild side effects or complications which are short term and does not need much intervention. In addition, no morbidity is associated with the procedure as the patient can resume their routine work from the very next day of the procedure.

The mild short lived complications associated with the hair transplant are explained as follows:

• Swelling: Swelling is common after hair transplant which involves most commonly the forehead or sometimes till eyebrows. It usually subsides within a week and does not cause any sort of morbidity. The swelling can be best avoided by sleeping with your head elevated at 45°. You should also avoid alcohol, smoking, aspirin and ice creams for at least a week. The head bands are prescribed which should be worn for 2 days for around 4 hours a day.
• Itching: Itching is also a common consequence of hair transplant which usually subsides on its own within a week and is easily manageable. To minimize the itching regular shampooing and application of lotion is advised which should be done as per the instructions of the hair transplant surgeon.
• Numbness: After the hair transplant surgery you might face numbness which stays for few weeks but subsides on its own without any intervention. If the numbness persists it is crucial to consult the surgeon immediately.
• Pain: Mild pain is common after hair transplant which is bearable and lasts for approximately a week. This is manageable without the use of any medicines but still if you want to completely avoid it you can take painkillers prescribed by the hair transplant surgeon.
• Infection: It is very rare after hair transplant procedures as a competent surgeon maintains aseptic surgical protocols. Including, for avoiding any sort of infection you should avoid touching the recipient area with fingers. It is advised to cover the head with a loose cap while going outdoors but cautious should be taken while wearing and removing the cap.
• Scalp pimples: These pimples occur few days after the hair transplant procedures. They are usually a good sign for growth but look as a side effect. After the bursting of these pimples the newly planted hair shaft fall followed by their initiation of growth which will be visible after 3 months of hair transplant procedures.
• Shock loss: It is one of the most important side effects of the hair transplant procedure. Shock loss occurs when all the hair shafts planted falls off three weeks after the hair transplant. Ideally this is completely normal and is part of growth and does not mean that procedure has failed.

Medispa hair transplant clinics believe in performing the procedure by maintaining strict hygiene protocols to ensure the complication free surgical procedure. Dr Suneet Soni has expert skills to perform the procedure risk free and provide best aesthetic results of male hair transplant.

HOW FAST YOU CAN RECOVER FROM THE HAIR TRANSPLANT PROCEDURES?

After the hair transplant procedures the patient can be back to work the next day for the surgery and does not cause any sort of morbidity. Physical recovery after the hair transplant procedure takes at least a week. But you should strictly follow the instructions given by the hair transplant surgeon to receive the best possible results. The main side effects of the procedure last in approximately a week.

Hair transplant procedures are rumored to present immediate results which are not true as you need to wait for months for achieving the fruits sown by the seeds. These planted hair follicles are retrieved from the own scalp which needs normal time to grow as the existing hairs. Once planted these hair shafts are shed after 2 – 3 weeks. You might feel at that time your hair transplant has failed but it is a normal phenomenon.

The hair growth becomes visible after 3 months of the procedure which shows small outgrowing hairs. In 6 months the hair growth is fairly visible this could be sparse initially but take up the good amount of distribution as the growth progresses. The complete growth is observed within 9 – 12 months when you can appreciate the success of the procedure.

HOW MUCH DOES HAIR TRANSPLANT COST?

The hair transplant in India is very affordable approximately 5 – 6 times lower as compared to the cost in the western world countries. The hair transplant cost in India varies from 70,000 to 400,000 INR depending upon the number of hair follicles required to cover the bald area. The hair transplant is basically charged as per graft model which ranges from 30 – 125 INR based upon the reputation of the clinics.

The cost of hair transplant can be vaguely determined but should be finalized during the consultation depending upon various factors. The most crucial factors deciding the hair transplant cost includes type of hair transplant, techniques of hair transplant, number of hair follicles required, extent of baldness, reputation of the clinics and experience of the hair transplant surgeon.
