Thanks to all who has given us feedback on what type of healthy and beauty information you like to get from this site. The most commonly requested topic is related to hair loss and hair transplantation. So we are going to cover this topic in this post.

As we all know, hair loss is becoming a growing problem these days and is a matter of great concern for many. Irrespective of their sex, men and women who suffer from hair loss remain worried and are depressed and lose self-confidence and find it difficult to concentrate on their work causing their social and professional lives get severely disrupted.

More young people, who are yet to reach their 30s, also suffer from this baldness problem these days.

For any man or woman who is dealing with hair loss, hair transplant surgery can be the answer to gaining back that self confidence. A hair plug or hair transplant is a surgical procedure in which a surgeon moves hair from the back or side of your head (donor site) to the bald area (recipient site).

Hair Transplant is becoming more popular due to the fact that it is well adopted by many celebrities and TV stars. The hair transplant technology has also been greatly enhanced and the results are visible and natural. More and more people are receiving a hair transplant tom improve their appearance and accepted it as a way to combat hair loss and regain their self-esteem and self-confidence.

However, not everyone is a good candidate for a hair transplant procedure as some conditions must be met to get the visible lasting results of this surgery.

Conditions that make you a good candidate for transplant surgery:

• Men or women with male or female-pattern baldness
• Women with thinning hair
• Anyone who has lost some hair from a burn or scalp injury
• Anyone  who has less contrast between hair and scalp color
• If you have lighter hair color as fewer transplants will be required to achieve a good coverage

 

Conditions that do not make you a good candidate for hair transplant:

• You are suffering from a diffused and un-patterned alopecia or a wide-spread pattern of hair loss throughout the scalp
• You do not have enough or unhealthy “donor” hair sites from which to extract hair for the transplant. It will be a waste of your time and money if you carry on with a  hair transplant.
• You are one who easily develops thick, fibrous, or keloid scars after an injury or surgery
• Your hair loss condition is mainly due to chemotherapy
• You have a very tight scalp, a hair transplant may not be suitable for you as it is harder for the surgeons to insert new follicles.
• You do not have adequate funds to carry on with additional surgical procedures over time.  To achieve the result, it will usually take several surgeries so it is important that you have sufficient financial funds to see the whole process through. Otherwise, you may end up looking worse off than before you even started.

Due to the above factors, it is important for you to do thorough research before proceeding with a surgical hair transplant.  Most hair transplant clinics offer a free consultation so do take the opportunity to make an appointment and ask the hair doctor questions pertaining to hair transplant procedure and ask him or her to if you are a good candidate for the surgery.

Find out from the hair transplant doctor how many transplant sessions you will likely require to get the result you wanted so that you could estimate the total cost required and consider if you have enough money to carry on with the whole process.
