5 Point Hair Transplant Information Sheet

Author: Mike Jones

Hair transplant information can be difficult to read and understand. This 5 point check list provides an easy introduction.

Point 1: The actual transplant procedure requires extracting hair from the side and back of the scalp which is DHT resistant, and transplanting it to the bald areas. For your hair transplant information, know the vocabulary used:

Hair Density - the number of hair follicles per square centimeter of scalp.

Scalp Laxity - how tight or loose the scalp is. Hair extraction is much easier on a scalp that is flexible and loose.

Donor Sites or Stable Sites - the areas of the scalp not affected by DHT which are used to supply the hair for transplantation.

Point 2: Whatever hair transplant information you read to the contrary, you must understand that in most cases, hair transplantation is a procedure that works for men, not women. There is a marked difference between male and female hair loss. Men suffer with the infamous MPB (male pattern baldness) which results in a horseshoe pattern of hair around the sides and back of the head.

Women often suffer diffuse hair loss, that is, a general thinning of the hair all over the scalp. The front hairline is mostly unaffected, unlike men who experience a receeding hairline. A woman's hair can be affected by DHT, no matter where it is on the scalp. If hair at the donor site is affected by DHT, it stands to reason it can easily fall out once it is transplanted to another area.

Men however, have DHT resistant areas on the back and sides of the scalp, and it is these stable areas which provide hair for successful transplantation.

Point 3: Coarse hair or curly hair is the best for hair transplantation, offering the best coverage. Fine hair and straight hair make it a greater challenge for the medical practitioner as this hair lies close to the scalp and doesn't provide such good coverage.

Likewise, a higher contrast between hair and skin color presents a challenge also. A more natural looking hair transplant can be achieved on persons with dark skin and dark hair, or conversely, persons with blonde, light colored hair and fair skin. Individuals who do not fit this criteria need to search carefully for a highly qualified surgeon to perform the procedure.

Point 4: Much hair transplant information you read concentrates on the mechanics of the hair transplant procedure. In addition to putting emphasis on the mechanics of the transplant procedure, it is equally important to give consideration to the art of hair transplantation.

Each individual is different when it comes to the shape of the face, characteristics of the hairline etc. A skilled surgeon will take these individual characteristics into account and perform a transplant which blends in with the natural contours and shape of the client's scalp, head and face. A qualified surgeon therefore, needs to have an awareness of what looks right. Try and get to see first hand the results on previous clients, or ask for photographs of clients who have had the surgeon perform the procedure on them.

Point 5: Be aware that hair transplant costs can vary widely. Some estimates put the range between $4,000 and $20,000. The cost of a graft can be between $3 and $8 with $5 being a general average. The number of grafts required and the number of sessions needed to perform the grafts will have a great bearing on the total cost.

It is therefore extremely important to have thorough consultations with your prospective surgeon so you have an accurate picture of what the financial outlay is likely to be.

In Conclusion: Hair transplant information varies widely. There are some procedures which were commonly practiced which are now not recommended at all. Some unscrupulous individuals may still be recommending them. In other cases, unrealistic results are promised in order to get a client to part with their money.

When considering hair transplant information, you can protect yourself from misleading claims by questioning the source of the material. Ask yourself whether the provider of the information has a personal agenda which could slant the information.

The best sources are usually government agencies or licensed and approved authorities such as the American Hair Loss Association. Proceed cautiously, carefully analyze and evaluate the hair transplant information you gather, and make an informed decision on whether you are likely to be a good candidate for hair transplantation.
