Is hair transplantation permanent? How much does it cost?

Hair transplant is a very popular hairdressing method nowadays. Many people with hair loss or thin hair will go for hair transplant. After hair transplant, you can easily have thick hair and restore your youthful state.

It should be noted that although hair transplant technology is now relatively mature, it also has certain risks. If there is no practical experience, improper operation may hurt the scalp. Therefore, for safety reasons, it is best to choose a regular beauty hospital for surgery. Patients should also make full physical and mental preparations before the operation, and strictly follow the doctor's instructions after the operation. For example, do not wash your hair in the first few days to avoid inflammation and infection. In addition, take medicine on time to relieve the discomfort caused by the operation, and do not do strenuous exercise.

From the current perspective, if it is scarless hair transplantation, the price of each unit of hair follicle is around 8 to 10 yuan. If it is scar hair transplantation, the price is about 4 to 6 yuan. If the number of transplanted hair is small, the price will be lower. If the number of transplanted hair is large, the price will be higher.

1. Design hair line

The first step is to design the patient's overall hairline. After the hairline is designed, the hairstyle of the transplanted area can be further designed. After the design is completed, the density of the hair can be measured at the back of the head with an instrument, and the area to be extracted can be calculated. After all these are prepared, the required number of hair follicles can be extracted using professional instruments under local anesthesia.

2. Hair follicle cultivation and separation

The extracted hair follicles will be sent to the hair follicle cultivation room for cultivation and separation. The separation process will be carried out by 6-7 professionals, and during this period it will take 2-3 hours to check the nature and quality of the hair follicles. During this time, the patient can take a nap in the lounge, watch TV or surf the Internet, or eat a small amount of food.

3. Transplantation is performed in hair follicle units

When 80% of the hair follicles are separated, the patient can undergo local anesthesia to undergo the transplantation of the hair follicle unit. The transplantation process is generally longer. The patient will not feel pain during the operation.

4. Postoperative care

You can go home immediately after the operation without bandaging. You can rinse your hair with cold boiled water 24 hours after the operation, wash your hair normally on the 4th day, and remove the sutures on the back of the head after the 10th day. The implanted hair will temporarily enter the resting period after the operation, and new hair will begin to grow after 2 to 3 months. The implanted hair has normal physiological characteristics, will grow permanently, and will not be affected by male hormone metabolism. The survival rate of hair follicles in a successful hair transplant operation can be higher than 95%, because for patients with male baldness, every hair is very precious and cannot withstand casual consumption. Therefore, the quality of hair transplantation needs to be maintained from multiple aspects, and the first thing to be considered is of course the choice of hair transplant hospital. So I want to warn everyone that before hair transplantation, you can log in to the Enterprise Information Network and the Health Supervision Bureau to verify the qualifications. In addition, you should investigate its technology, doctors, cases, services, reputation and other aspects.

Alopecia areata is a typical and common temporary hair loss. This type of hair loss is often considered to be related to neuropsychiatric factors. A person who is under a state of mental stress for a long time, or has irregular living habits such as work and rest, and endocrine imbalance, may cause alopecia areata. After the occurrence of hair loss, timely medical treatment and improvement, the hair loss phenomenon is still very easy to recover, but it is also easy to recur, so hair transplantation is generally not recommended. Nutritional alopecia This type of hair loss is also a temporary hair loss, mostly caused by nutritional deficiency. The main component of our hair is protein, and it is also inseparable from nutrients such as vitamins and trace elements. Dieting can easily cause nutritional imbalance, and in the long run, it may cause hair loss. Generally speaking, after the occurrence of hair loss, timely adjustment of eating habits and supplementation of necessary nutrients, nutritional alopecia can still be gradually recovered, and hair transplantation is usually not recommended. Hair loss is special, mainly because the connective tissue in the area is relatively thick, which affects blood transportation, and the nutrients needed for the growth of our hair follicles are transmitted by blood transportation. Once the blood supply to the area is abnormal, the hair follicles cannot survive naturally even if a hair transplant is performed. Therefore, for hair loss, you must first do a blood flow test. If the blood flow is normal and there are sufficient hair follicle donors in the back of the head, you can consider hair transplantation. Otherwise, hair transplantation is not recommended. In addition to the types of hair loss introduced above, there are some large-area hair loss, such as hair loss level 6 or 7. Because the hair loss area is too large, it is difficult to extract so many hair follicles from the back of the head for transplantation, so hair transplantation surgery is not recommended.
