The Rising Baldness Problem & Types of Hair Transplant in Women
According to recent study, after menopause, one out of every five women will have some degree of hair loss, which is mainly caused by aging, disease, or hormonal changes. Women's hair thinning is more modest than men's, with thinning occurring all over the scalp rather than in spots.
Some ladies prefer to wear a wig or hair extensions to cover up the problem. Others have had some success using a prescription medicine that is applied topically.In
other patients, the effectiveness of such medications varies, and they only
prevent additional hair loss without promoting any significant new growth.
For
people who are unhappy with either of these solutions, hair transplant surgery
may be the solution. However, for that you need to know the types
of hair transplant.
Can All Women Get A Hair Transplant?
In
most societies, baldness is becoming a rising problem among the youth and some
older people. That could easily drive someone insane, couldn't it?
Although
not universal, it is safe to assume that some, if not all, people in any
community regard baldness as completely humiliating, or to put it another way,
a complete nightmare.
Following
women can get all types of hair transplant:
·
Women who lost their hair
after having a facelift or other cosmetic treatment
·
Ladies with thinning hair
on their scalp.
·
Traction Alopecia or
Alopecia Marginalis is a condition that affects women.
·
Women who need to have
their hairline reconstructed.
·
Trauma, scalp injuries, or
burns can cause hair loss.
·
Women who have lost their
hair owing to traction alopecia or mechanical alopecia (non-hormonal).
·
Women with a well-defined
pattern of baldness, hairline regression, and vertex thinning, comparable to
male pattern baldness (on the crown or top of the scalp).
What Is Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
The
traditional and one of the most popular types of hair transplant is FUT,
also known as FUSS (Follicular Unit Strip Surgery). FUT involves removing a
strip of tissue from the back of the skull, known as the 'donor' site, and
transporting it to a dedicated chamber where it is cleaned and split into
grafts (a piece of tissue containing hair follicles to be planted).
The
dissected grafts are then inserted into holes drilled in the bald area of the
head, referred to as the "receiver" site.
Why FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Is One of The Best Types of Hair
Transplant
Follicle
grafts from the donor areas (the sides and back of the head) are used in the
FUE hair operation. The surgeon uses a micro-punch instrument to remove each
follicular graft.
The
scarring from this surgery is small and circular, measuring up to a millimeter
in diameter. It depends on how the hair follicles are extracted; the punch
instrument might leave hundreds, if not thousands, of scars.
·
Scarring on the scalp of
patients is minimal to non-existent upon recovery.
·
Patients who want to
maintain their hair short can benefit from the FUE hair surgery.
·
The patients' recovery time
is minimal (5-7 days).
