New Hair Grafting Process For Transplants
Ever since the end of the Second World War hair grafting has been a technique that should have worked but really didn’t offer very good results. The basic theory makes a lot of sense and is very easy to understand – take living, growing hair follicles from an area of the scalp with good hair growth and transplant those follicles into the skin at the bald area. It would be just like transplanting flowers in your flower bed. But, like most health issues, what seemed simple proved to be much more difficult.
The original hair grafting procedure consisted of pieces of scalp cut from the area at the back of the head. This of course left a large hole that had to be sutured shut resulting in scarring. Next, the entire portion of scalp was sewn into an incision in the bald spot. The result of this was a group of hair sticking every which way. Think of how the hair is plugged into a cheap dolls head and you will see what I mean. This in fact was where the term hair plug, another name for grafts, came from. Basically the hair transplants and resulting scarring ended up looking much worse than a bald head.
Over the years these procedures were improved upon and major strides were made once micro-surgical techniques were invented. The scalp was still removed from the posterior of the head but now the follicles could be implanted individually. This gave a much more natural looking head of hair as the surgeon could match the directional growth of the surrounding hairs. But the problem of scars at the back of the head still persisted.
A new hair transplantation method has now been developed that takes care of that concern also. Using the Direct Hair Implants method the hair restoration surgeon can now remove each individual follicular unit and then place it exactly where it is need. No more scarring from removal of scalp.
If you want to treat your baldness this is the hair grafting method to use.
