Hair Transplantation

Hair loss is a normal physiologic process. The normal count for hair loss is somewhere between 50-100 hairs daily, females lose more than males. If the hair fall is more than that it may lead to the appearance of a bald patch earlier than the usual time. Such hair loss is termed ALOPECIA. A most common type of hair loss for men is Androgenic Alopecia; caused due to androgenic hormones like testosterone.

Hair loss can not be stopped completely forget reversing it. The faster process of hair loss in affected patients can be slowed. Usually, hair loss stabilizes after some age. Although it is very difficult to accurately judge that.

Alopecia can be treated with medications and non-surgical methods. Medications can stop the hair loss and even regrow lost hairs but patients need to be on medications life long which is not without side effects. Once the patient is used to the maintainence and have realistic expectations, Hair trasnplant surgery can be thought of.

Hair transplant is not getting new hair!! It simply redistrubtes your existing hair such that appearence is near to normal. Result depends on many criteria like how many hairs area actually available. Hair tansplant surgery can be done in two ways
FUT: in which a strip of the scalp tissue is cut, the hair follicles are removed from the strip and subsequently put in the bald areas.
FUE: in which single hair follicles are removed with punches and subseuqnetly put in the bald areas.

We at MJF will first accurately diagnose if you are a candidate for Hair Transplant/Hair Restoration surgery. We prefer FUE type of Hair transplant as it gives more predictable results and is less invasive.
