Men - Hair Transplants

Hair transplants for MEN with hair loss and baldness conditions has evolved in recent years. Medical progress in treating male hair loss has advanced in the past couple of years.

Today many men can achieve hair fullness using new surgical hair restoration methods, where very small patches of skin with hair are moved from one part of the head to another. The new technology of using very small grafts enabled women to have surgical hair transplants as cosmetic procedure alternative.

What is typical male hair loss pattern?

Male hair loss, male pattern baldness is an hereditary condition which causes male baldness or significant male hair loss in about 66 percent of all men. An estimated 35 million men and 21 million women in the United States alone have male pattern hair loss.

It can start as early as the teen years. Hair loss risk increases with age, with 40% of men showing noticeable hair loss by age of 35 and more than 50 percent of men over age 50 have some degree of hair loss.
Male-Pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss for both men and women.
Balding traits may be inherited from one's both parents.
Male Hair loss is not a disease and is caused by heredity, hormones and age. Genetics determines hair follicles sensitivity to male sex hormones, androgens, dihydrotestosterone DHT.
Male-pattern baldness typically occurs in men between 20 and 45 because of high levels of androgens, such as testosterone and dihydroxy-testosterone (DHT).
Male pattern hair loss, also called Androgenic alopecia, develops as a gradual reduction in hair follicle size and shorter cycles in the active growth phase.

What hair will be used for the hair transplants?

In most men, with “male pattern hair loss”, hair all around the side and back of the scalp is more dense. For this reason, donor area for use as hair graft in a man's hair transplantation is generally available.

The hair in the back of the scalp is most commonly used as the “donor hair” for the hair transplantation.

The cosmetic operation can recreate your hair pattern but the new hair pattern is not exactly the same as your hair was before it became thin.

The hair transplant operations are done under either local anesthetic or general anesthetic. Most of the time these are outpatient operations at a doctor's clinic and a stay in the hospital is not needed. Postoperative recovery can take takes one to two weeks.
