Are hair transplants effective on all smooth heads?
Hair transplants being one of the most sought out cosmetic procedures are susceptible to false advertising and manipulative marketing. There is no denying how successfully hair transplants can restore hair growth in balding scalp and body areas. However, is it actually possible of restoring all types of hair loss? To avoid future disappointment, you have to be realistic with your condition. Below we’ll divide hair loss into certain classes and thoroughly discuss which classes are reversible with hair transplants and which aren’t.
Androgenic alopecia is hair loss triggered by the male hormone testosterone. The condition is reversible with hair transplants as it meets one of the important requirements for the success of the surgery: donor regions. Donor regions are areas of stable hair growth that is unaffected by hair loss. Since androgenic alopecia often occurs in a distinct pattern where follicular units in the hairline and crown are more susceptible to hair loss and the back of the scalp is resistant to hair loss; it provides a supply of donor hair.
Follicular units are extracted from the back of the scalp and relocated to areas of hair growth. The process of harvesting and implantation has no impact on the androgen-resistant properties of follicular units.
It is important to note that not every case of androgenic alopecia is reversible with hair transplants. If you are interested to find out whether you make for a suitable candidate, book an online consultation that is free of charge with Vera Clinic. The centre is specialised in hair transplant and will link you with a medical specialist who will assess your special case.
Hair loss in alopecia areata is the result of an autoimmune disorder. As a result, the condition lacks the element of predictability when it comes to determining stable donor regions. Instead of hair loss occurring in a pattern, it is more random and scattered. Consequently, patients suffering from alopecia cannot restore their hair with hair transplants. Treating the underlying cause of alopecia areata is the first step towards recovery.
Traumatic alopecia refers to hair loss from accidents such as burns. Since accidents often target a particular area alone, the unaffected areas can act as donor regions from which grafts are extracted and implanted in balding scalp. Post-implantation, and similar to androgenic alopecia, follicular units continue to regenerate growth in the target areas.
Alopecia totalis is a condition characterized by hair loss all over the scalp. The condition depletes all potential donor regions and as a result, cannot be reversed with hair transplants. Even body to scalp hair transplants cannot cover the area of hair loss in alopecia totalis.
For hair transplants to be effective, the condition needs to follow a predictable pattern of hair loss needs to happen in a predictable pattern. In addition, the supply of od donor hair should be sufficient to cover the balding scalp. Since conditions like androgenic alopecia and traumatic alopecia meet at least one of the requirements for the surgery, there is a great possibility that hair loss can be reversed with hair transplants. Alopecia totalis and alopecia areata, on the other hand, cannot be reversed with hair transplants.
