Hair Transplants and Options for Hair Loss

The hair transplant is one of the most spectacular cosmetic interventions available today. The technique has made considerable progress, and now there are few patients who are not happy when they see the results.

Before you decide for a hair transplant, make sure your hair loss problem is a permanent one. Talk to your physician, in the end, the doctor will have the final word regarding the interventions. There are three main options available: what is usually called a transplant means that hairs from the back of the head are moved to the front. This is suitable for people whose hair is still healthy on some parts of their skull. The results are quite good, especially since the surgeons discovered that hairs did not grow individually, but in small groups, and so now they are transplanted in grafts, giving them a more natural feel and look.

The flap-surgery is an intervention suitable for people with hair loss on smaller areas, usually recommended for women. Basically, the areas with hair on them are stretched out, and made to look larger.

The scalp reduction does just the opposite, it reduces the bald spot, and is best for men who have just a little spot on the top on their head, with well-defined edges and which doesn’t grow.

The hair transplant is pretty expensive. Alopecia is not a disease, so the transplant qualifies as a purely cosmetic intervention. Also, when you make your budget, make sure you include the hair loss medication as well. The transplant will replace the hair that has fallen off, but will not prevent new ones from falling, so you will have to continue taking hair loss medication after the transplant as well.

Now, for the costs of the actual transplant, they vary according to the size of scalp you need covered, usually between 2,500 and 10,000 US dollars for a single session. Some people don’t need follow-up sessions; if you do need them, the prices are usually considerably lower. Another way of estimating the cost is by asking your surgeon how many hair grafts you need. The price for one graft ranges from 3 to 10 dollars, and one implant probably takes several hundred or even thousands.

There have been attempts to use artificial fibers in the transplant, with very limited success, because of the allergic reactions and infections they caused. So weigh your options carefully and go for a physician or clinic with a good reputation and proven result. On the whole, the hair transplant done today is quite safe and effective.
