The state of our hair influences our appearance essentially. Everybody would like to have beautiful, shiny, rich hair, for reaching this most of the people spend a lot on hair care. The biological function of the hair is slight, its cosmetological significance is higher than it. Falling hair, hair rarefaction contributes to the decrease of self-estimation many times that can cause disadvantages either in prevailing at work or in private life.
For whom we recommend
The hair transplantation can be recommended for all those who is fighting against balding, considerable hair loss as well as experience falling hair that causes detectable change which can already been detected.
The hair transplantation is an effective solution in case of both men and women since the reason for balding is most often the so-called masculine type balding. This state may occur in men and women (in another form in their case) as well.
What can we expect at the first consultation?
We examine the scalp of the patient thoroughly at the first consultation and prepare detailed anamnesis. Based on this it turns out if the patient is suitable for the hair transplantation.
If you are not suitable to the hair transplantation then the doctor explains in details what the reason is for this as well as gives information about the possibility of medicinal treatment.
The examination of the hair and the scalp contains the hair density examination as well. This procedure happens with a special hair density measurement that measures the density of the hair accurately and helps the doctor to assess how much hair you have in each follicular unit, as well as which type of balding you suffer from. The doctor compares the thinner and thicker hair with the help of the equipment so the degree of miniaturization and the diameter of the hair can be assessed as well. After this the doctor reviews the process of the hair transplantation and the method can be used in your case.
Besides this the doctor gives information what the patient can expect in the following months after the hair transplantation surgery.
Where can the donor areas be found?
In case of hair transplantation we transplant the own hair from the donor area to the area of the transplantation.
Certain formed falling hair evolves in case of the Masculine Type Balding (MTB) and also in case of Feminine Type Balding (FTB) as both follow a typical pattern.
You probably experienced too that balding evolves mainly at the front and on the crown in case of men, hair remain on the sides and backsides. The permanent area is the so-called horseshoe-shaped area that serves as a donor area during the hair transplantation. The doctors takes the own hair of the patient with from this area together with the hair follicles and surrounding tissues.
How do they hide the intervention happened on the donor area?
There are several methods how to close an open wound after removing the hair follicles and surrounding tissues. The doctors at Virányos Clinic hide the stitches with the most modern technique that happens according to the patient’s requirements.
What influences the efficiency of the hair transplantation?
Two factors, the hair density and the scalp laxity influence the hair transplantation. The density shows how many hair follicles can be found on one square meter of the scalp. The scalp laxity signs how elastic and dilatable the scalp is. The higher is these two values the transplantation of more follicular units can be performed.
What kind of role does the hair and skin color in the hair transplantation?
The closer the hair and skin color stands to each other the better effect it has in covering the scalp. The African hair is dark colored and curly, its appearance has less contrast with the different gradiation of the dark skin so this type brings the best visual results during the hair transplantation. People who have dark colored, straight hair and light colored skin means the biggest artistic challenge during the hair transplantation as in their case there is the bigger contrast between the color of hair and the skin .
What other visual factors exist?
Planning the hair transplantation your doctor takes it into consideration the expected rarefaction of your hair and also the rapidity of the rarefaction. Forming the hairline the professional preparation of the plan is extremely important as the natural hairline changes from person to person in its form and density.
How does the doctor decide on which filed of the scalp they implant the removed hair follicles?
As a first step the doctors plant the hair follicles on the front side and the top of the head since these areas give frame for the face and play the largest role in the appearance. The hairline makes the men’s appearance more youthful with 10 years at least.
The hair follicles are usually implanted on the area of the crown at last unless if it is the only bald area on the whole scalp.
Is the hair transplantation is painful?
Torpidity and pain can be observed as in all the surgical interventions the degree of which can be less detected compared to a dental intervention.
The hair transplantation is performed just under local anesthesia.
What happens after the hair transplantation?
The doctor can act upon two options after the hair transplantation. A turban bandage is placed on the head after the operation in case of men that has to be wore for 24 hours. The doctor removes the bandage on the following day. It is important that you are not allowed to drive a vehicle until the removal of the turban.
No bandage is placed on in case of women but keeping the regulation concerning driving a vehicle is important in case of women too.
About the hairs:
There are 100 thousand follicles on the hairy scalp of a healthy person on the average. The hair is produced in the lowest part, the dissolving, so-called matrix cells of the follicle, they are distributed continuous and their horning is the growth of the hair. Each follicle produces about 20 – 30 new hairs on during our lifetime. The hair grows about 0,35 mm per a day on the average. When the hair reaches a certain length the matrix cells stop their dissolving. After a resting period lasting for few month the hair falls out and the growth of a new hair starts. The hair cycle is asynchronized in human being that means the hairs in the follicle are in a different phase on the scalp.
The 85 – 95 % of the hair is the phase of growing or anagen that last more years, it is followed by a temporary phase called catagen phase lasting a short time (1 –2 weeks) till the hair falls out during a resting (so-called telogen phase) lasting 2 – 3 months.
The follicular unit:
On the hairy scalp the hairs grow in small bunches that are follicular units that forms physiological units are separable well from each other. A unit like this contains 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 hairs.
