Consult, Discuss, Decide

Hair transplant made its entry into the Kerala market around two decades ago. It was a fairly new concept and there was a lot of misinformation about it too. As with everything new, it was viewed with skepticism and doubt. Is it safe? Is it hygienic? Is it worth the money? Will it have side effects? Also, there were these terms of hair fixing and hair transplant, which many didn’t know to differentiate. Today, years later, it’s a huge and successful mode of hair restoration in terms of the trust and credibility it has earned from people.

Hair O Craft was one of the first to open exclusive hair fixing and hair transplant clinics in Kerala, with the first being opened in Kochi. Today, we have a total of 20 clinics with expertise in hair and skin care treatments. Hair transplant and hair fixing has seen a lot of advancements since then.

Genetics, nutrition, geography, weather conditions, stress….it’s surprising how many factors play a role in the hair health of a person. Some of these factors can be corrected or altered or maybe even reversed.

Frequently asked questions about Hair Transplant

by GeneralHair Transplant

Hair transplantat has gained more success over time than any other hair restoration method. Still, people have a lot of questions about hair transplant. From the cost to how long it will last, people wonder if they’ll be able to maintain their lifestyle while getting a hair restoration treatment done. Also, they are concerned about the things involved with this procedure. Let us take some time exploring these common questions that come up when thinking about having your hair transplanted.

1. Is Hair Transplant painful?

The surgery will not be entirely painless. The pain you will experience after the surgery is not too severe, and it should begin to subside in a few days. You might feel some discomfort for two-three days but that’s normal. The grafts have been in one spot for several years and your body will feel strange when they are transplanted somewhere else on your scalp. However, the discomfort is usually mild and should only last two or three days after the surgery before disappearing completely.

2. Is Hair Transplant permanent?

If you maintain your transplanted hair properly, it will be permanent. If you clean and take care of it the right way, then there is no chance that you will lose any part of it. However, if maintenance isn’t a high priority for you then maybe this new transplant won’t last very long in the end; so essentially it is all about how much effort you are willing to put in to maintain your scalp’s healthiness in addition to keeping up with proper cleaning methods.

3. Is there any non-surgical way to re-grow hair?

There is no non-surgical method to grow back your hair, but you can maintain it with PRP. To get a new head of hair, the only option is via transplant surgery. However, if the only method of growing new hair that interests you is non-surgical then we recommend wearing hair patches.

4. Is it safe to go for Hair Transplant if I have any medical condition?

Before we can proceed with the surgery, all patients must have a fitness certification from their current physicians. If they are diabetic or have low blood pressure history and/or conditions, it is not permitted for them to undergo this surgery until thay get go ahead from their physicians in this regard.

5. Why there is so much variation in the price of hair transplant clinics? Why do some clinics offer unlimited grafts while some don’t?

The first thing I would like to clarify is that there isn’t actually an unlimited supply of hair grafts, as some sources claim. Your donor area is limited and there are limits on how many units of hair we will be able to acquire for your transplant based on the current resource availability in the donor area. Your max donation amount would typically fall somewhere between 5000 – 6000, while harvesting an average of 3000 – 4000 grafts.

The cost of getting a hair transplant depends on many factors. There are several questions to consider like: what is your doctor’s experience? How professional and clean is their clinic environment? Who will actually be doing surgery for you – just another member in training or an experienced surgeon with years of practice under his belt.

Your doctor should be well-versed with the extraction of grafts, the safest mode of extraction and what to do after extraction so that your donor area looks normal.

I have heard that technicians are performing hair transplant surgeries at many of the clinics, not the Doctors

In Hair O Craft we have a protocol that only the doctors are supposed to do surgery. The doctor extracts grafts and implants them. At Hair O Craft, we are too particular about how our display system works: If you are my patient and I have committed to providing 2000 grafts, then that is exactly what I will show you.

6. Does the hair in the donor area grow back after it has been extracted for transplant?

We get this question a lot, and many people have been confused by it. Many patients believe that the hair in your donor area will regrow even after your transplant is done; however, this is false information.

Hair grafts removed from the donor area will never grow back. It is removed with roots intact, and those roots are placed in areas that you don’t have hair. So, the part of the donor area where hair is taken from will not grow back any new hairs.

But the order in which hair extraction is done makes a difference because the remaining donor area will have enough hairs to cover it and you won’t get any patches.

7. Will I get full coverage from Hair Transplant?

Full coverage depends on many factors. The first important factor is what grade of baldness you are in. For a person with grade 3 and 4 boldness, there is a possibility for full coverage. Patients with higher grades like 6 and 7 often don’t have any hair on their heads. This makes it impossible to do full coverage for them, unfortunately.

For patients with higher grades like grades 6 and 7 who don’t have any hair on the head, it is impossible to do full coverage for them. Another important factor is in preserving your existing hair. If you have 3, 4 or 5 cases of baldness and a significant amount of hair on the scalp, preserving this with transplantation will allow for full coverage.

There are several factors which determine the cost of hair transplant. There are several factors which determine the cost of hair transplant.

 

1.Nature of scalp and extent of baldness: This factor in turn decides the number of grafts and number of sessions required.

2. Number and quality of grafts: Quality of grafts & density of hair decides how many grafts can be extracted safely from the donor area (Safe means without giving a patch in the donor area). No of follicular units in each bunch of grafts is also important (i.e. single, double hair, etc

3. Technique of Hair Transplantation used: Though there are two methods (FUE & FUT) FUE is the advanced method which is being opted mostly. In FUE there are different techniques of implantation of the extracted grafts. It ranges from simple needle, more advanced implanter pens and even robotic hair transplants (not common). So with every advancement in technology, the price also varies.

4. The skill expertise of operating surgeon: The hair transplant procedure needs to be performed by extreme precision and by following artistic sense. A natural hairline which can be designed precisely by an experi- enced hair transplant surgeon.

4. The facilities available in the center and their brand value is also a factor which affects the cost of hair transplant . On an average if you need to get a hair transplant done in a good center with an experienced surgeon and quality care, it may cost you rupees 35 thousand to 1.5 lakh depending upon the number of grafts needed in each case.

  7. Confidential: A high quality clinic will preserve the safety of the personal data and medical records.
  8. Transparency & Trust: During the physical examination the patient’s medical history and the possible allergic condition prior to the hair transplantation are assessed. If the patient carries any risk that prevents him from carrying out the procedure, the doctor has to impart such information and a good clinic will give importance to human health above all else.
  9. Support & After Care: After the hair transplant, a good hair transplant clinic will review the progress of patients on a regular basis and will make sure that the necessary support is provided, if needed. This will establish a long lasting relationship between the clinic and the patients.

WHO CAN DO HAIR TRANSPLANT?

by GeneralHair Transplant

Hair transplantation can be performed on any person with pattern hair loss, good donor area, good general health and reasonable expectations.

The factors that affect case selection are as follows:

1) Age: Patients between the age of 18 and 75 can do FUE. Young patients whose early alopecia is still evolving should not be taken up for hair transplantation. This is mainly because he will be in the process of losing the hairs and if after implantation he loses his existing hairs it will give him a weird look. So it will be best suited to patients in the age group 23 –55 years.

2) Sex: Both females and males can do FUE , but as the males have more localization of 5 alpha reductase activity for hormone Dihydro–testosterone, males will have a better result than females.

3) Grade: According to Norwood –Hamilton scale for classification of Androgenetic Alopecia, persons from Grade 2 to Grade 5 can undergo FUE. If the patient belongs to grade 6 and 7, usually the donor area density is very low and the existing donor hair resource will not be sufficient to cover the entire bald zone. Hair transplant can be done in area 2, 3 and 4 which will improve your looks considerably.

4) In clinical conditions that forms scarring on the scalp skin like Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE), Lichen planus, Folliculitis decalvans, in extreme burns etc. due to formation of fibrous tissue, hair transplantation is not possible.

5) In patients having Alopecia Areata hair transplantation is not the right method to treat baldness.

6)Patients with significant systemic health problems:

Those patient who are having blood pressure above 140/90 mm of Hg should not be taken for Hair Transplant until his / her BP reduces to normal range. Blood sugar should be below 130 mg/dl. If the patient is under medication for the above condition Hair Transplant can be done only with a physical fitness certificate from a MD Physician. The patient’s CT, BT, PT, INR etc, should be in normal range. If patient is having any bleeding disorders, doing hair transplantation is not advisable.
