Hair Transplant
A hair transplant is a process used to treat hair loss. Male baldness (also known as androgenetic alopecia), a form of hair loss, may occur due to scalp inflammation or damage to the scalp. Injuries due to burning, surgery or accidents may lead to permanent hair loss that can be hided with a hair transplant.
Hair transplantation is no treatment for male baldness. Even though the process covers the baldhead with hair, it does not protect you from further hair loss. Since male baldness is progressive in most men, it may be advantageous to combine surgical treatment with medical treatments to slow down the hair loss.
FUE Hair Transplantation
With the FUE-technique, every single hair follicle is collected separately from the scalp, without removing any tissue. After the follicles are removed, small holes are opened in the donor area, in which the follicles are planted. As with FUE hair transplantation it is possible to determine the direction of hair growth, the healing is much shorter.
After a Hair Transplant
It is possible to experience the following conditions after hair transplantation:
Bruising and swelling
Numbness
Pain, throbbing and discomfort
Formation of small crusts in the treated areas of the scalp
Hair transplant complications
All surgeries carry a degree of risk. Some of the possible complications of hair transplant surgery are:
General anesthesia risks including fatal allergic reaction
Surgical risks such as bleeding or infection
Nerve damage including permanent sensory loss
Death of skin grafts
Tissue death in the wound area
