The post Hair transplant in Horsham: Success stories appeared first on HairPalace.

Researching his options to permanently restore his thinning hair, Paul contacted us to find out more about our services.

To determine how many hairs are needed for a good result, and thus, how much the surgery would cost, we always need to see the condition first.

Be it in person or online, our 20-minute assessment will worth your while:

• you can discuss your expectations with an expert
• we assess the extent of your hair loss and the quality of your hair
• you get all information about the procedure and the post-op care
• you receive a treatment plan and quote tailored to your needs

Paul opted for our free consultation in Dublin on the 20th of March 2018. Content with the details he discussed with our colleagues, he started arranging his treatment with us shortly after.

Paul’s surgery

Paul arrived in Budapest on the 26th of April 2018 to have his blood tests done on the 27th.

We require blood tests before every surgery, and we also offer to arrange them in Budapest. This option is available only if the patient’s medical history does not indicate otherwise.

After taking the samples, the laboratory needs around 12 hours to get back to us with the results.

This is why patients choosing our blood test package have to arrive two days before the surgery.

Naturally, the package includes the additional night and the transfers between the accommodation and the laboratory.

After his blood tests, Paul’s hair transplant surgery was carried out on the 28-29th of April 2018.

Even with a good, dense donor area, the upper limit of the transplant is usually around 6000 hairs.

This limit prevents over-extraction, allows the proper healing of the scalp, and ensures that the patients can take the surgery well.

Originally, we proposed Paul 5-6000 hairs. But as his donor area was even better than we anticipated, we could push the limit and extract more on the day.

The surgeon could safely transplant 7134 hairs in total – 6234 to the front and 900 hairs to the crown:

Post-op recovery

The hair transplant is quick; it takes 1 or 2 days to complete. However, recovery takes a few weeks, while the regrowth will be complete in several months.a

In this period, proper aftercare is crucial, so we are always available to answer questions that arise.

Additionally, we have check-ups at the main milestones to ensure you get the result you are looking for.

Take a look at the change Paul’s hair went through in the first 6 months after the hair restoration:

The final result

The regrowth of the implanted hairs happens gradually; it ends 12-15 months after the hair transplant.

For his final check-up, Paul met us in Dublin again a year after his surgery.

His surgeon was in attendance, who was just as satisfied with the outcome as Paul himself.

His new hairline looks great, and the overall density at the top was evened out too:

How would you like going through such a change yourself?

Excess DHT is a common cause of male and female hair loss. But various foods, drinks, and medications can help to inhibit it.

In this comprehensive guide to DHT blockers, we’ll answer the following questions:

• What is DHT?
• How does it cause hair loss?
• What foods and drinks can decrease DHT levels in the body?
• What medications can reduce DHT?

What is DHT? What does it do inside the body?

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is an androgen — a sex hormone contributing to the formation of traditionally male characteristics. However, it’s present in both males and females.

DHT is produced when testosterone is converted by a man’s testes and prostate or a woman’s ovaries. This occurs with assistance from 5-alpha reductase (5-AR), an enzyme.

DHT performs a crucial role in the body’s changes throughout puberty. Typically, boys will develop certain characteristics, including:

• increased body hair (armpits, chest, groin, etc.)
• facial hair
• a deeper voice
• growth of the penis, testicles, and scrotum (with the production of sperm)
• increased muscle mass

For women, DHT is vital for regulating the way in which organs function and synthesising estrogen. This is a hormone class featuring estrone, estriol, and estradiol (which develops traditionally female characteristics and sexual function).

Does DHT affect people differently and why?

DHT’s effect on hair, and the speed with which hair loss occurs, can be affected by genetics.

If your father and grandfather both lost most of their hair to male pattern baldness, it’s likely that you’ll develop the same condition. That means DHT’s gradual miniaturization of scalp follicles will be stronger and faster.

If you have no family history of male pattern baldness or other conditions causing hair loss, excess DHT may not lead to such pronounced shedding.

What happens if you have too much or too little DHT?

Too much DHT can cause certain negative changes to the body and its functions. In males, this can lead to:

• an enlarged prostate
• potential prostate cancer (though research is inconclusive)
• delayed skin healing

But in females, excess DHT could trigger:

• menstruation problems
• acne
• unwanted body or facial hair

Too little DHT at a young age may delay puberty in males and females. However, as DHT is so closely connected to the development of male characteristics and functions, lower DHT levels are less problematic for females.

Males with too little DHT could experience:

• delayed development of genitalia
• issues with body fat storage
• less body hair than other men

And hair loss is another obvious effect of excess DHT.

Why does DHT cause hair loss?

DHT can bind to follicles as it passes through the bloodstream, and gradually shrink them. This will affect the hair’s natural growth cycle, which consists of four stages:

• Growth (anagen)
• Transition (catagen)
• Resting (telogen)
• Shedding (exogen)

Each strand of hair will rest for a while before the body sheds it and a new hair is created by the follicle. The anagen stage will begin again.

But excess DHT can slow the hair’s reproduction rate by extending the telogen stage or decreasing the length of the anagen stage. New hair will take longer to grow over time. And when it finally appears, it will be thinner and more brittle than before.

Eventually, follicles will stop producing hair. This can cause balding on one or more areas of the scalp.

What are the best natural DHT blockers and how do they work?

Proper nutrition is key to great hair. Adding the following natural DHT blockers to your diet may help in slowing down hair loss. And many of them can be found as an ingredient in topical hair loss treatments too.

13 best natural DHT blockers

1. Green tea

Green tea contains epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG). This is a catechin, a type of antioxidant, and is believed to potentially prevent the conversion of testosterone into DHT by inhibiting 5-AR activity.

2. Coconut oil

Coconut oil includes oleric, laric, and myristic acids, all capable of inhibiting 5-AR activity.

3. Bananas

Bananas are one of the most popular, easily accessible fruits in supermarkets across the UK. And they’re a natural source of biotin: this helps to prevent testosterone from being converted into DHT.

4. Egg yolks

Your favourite part of an egg is the yolk? We’ve got good news — they’re rich in biotin (like bananas). That means a regular helping of egg yolks could contribute to a decrease in your DHT levels over time.

But don’t eat the yolk and ignore the whites: these contain protein — essential for hair growth.

5. Mangos

Mangos are delicious, refreshing, and packed with good stuff.

Amongst the vitamins C and E, you’ll also find lycopene in mangos. This is an antioxidant that helps to protect the body from free radicals capable of damaging DNA. Lycopene can also maintain the health and strength of bones, as well as aiding eyesight.

But lycopene could also reduce DHT levels in the body. As part of a healthy diet that includes some of the other natural DHT blockers on this list, mangos might help to combat hair loss.

6. White mushrooms

White mushrooms are easy to find in any supermarket and are versatile enough to suit a plethora of dishes. Add them to spaghetti bolognese. Fry them to accompany your egg and toast at breakfast. The list goes on and on.

But white mushrooms are also a terrific source of zinc, which can block the production of DHT by inhibiting 5-AR activity.

7. Nuts

Various nuts can help to block DHT and fight hair loss.

Pecans contain L-Lysine, a natural DHT blocker, while peanuts include this AND biotin. Walnuts contain L-Lysine, protein, and vitamin E.

8. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are a wonderful source of lycopene, particularly dark ones.

Cooking, or at least heating, tomatoes is believed to increase the potency of the lycopene too. Not only can this fight DHT, it could also combat cancer.

9. Pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin seeds are easy to scatter on salads or over porridge. And they contain Delta-7 Sterine, a steroid capable of blocking DHT.

This is because it competes with DHT at key sites, including hair follicles. Introducing pumpkin seeds to your diet could gradually prevent DHT from building up in the follicles.

10. Kale

Kale has become known as a superfood for a number of reasons, including:

• lowering cholesterol
• strengthening bones
• fighting inflammation
• flushing toxins from the body

But kale can also be an effective natural DHT blocker as it’s high in zinc, which helps to prevent testosterone’s conversion into DHT.

11. Rosemary oil

Rosemary oil is believed to stop DHT binding to androgen hormone receptors and aid hair loss.

12. Stinging nettles

Research shows that consuming stinging nettles can help to prevent testosterone from being converted into DHT.

Stinging nettles should be cooked, dried, or made into a supplement for safe human consumption. Their ability to sting will be negated when cooked for several minutes.

13. Carrots

Carrots are another great source of lycopene. And you can enjoy them as a snack (with hummus), grated over a salad, or roasted.

How can you reduce DHT with medication? Is it working? Is it safe? Are there any side effects?

DHT blocker tablets are also available on prescription. They are widely used, but as with any medication, they have potential side effects that must be taken into account.

1. Finasteride

Finasteride is a medication administered orally in tablet form. It’s prescribed for two purposes:

• reducing the effects of male pattern baldness
• treating an enlarged prostate

Finasteride decreases DHT levels in the body to restore the natural hair development cycle and cultivate healthier growth.

However, certain side effects may occur with finasteride:

• rashes
• reduced libido/sex drive
• difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
• development of bigger breasts

You can read more about finasteride here.

2. Dutasteride

Dutasteride is designed to suppress the conversion of testosterone into DHT, for treating enlarged prostates and reducing hair loss.

Like finasteride, dutasteride is an oral medication prescribed for males only. It also carries a risk of challenging side effects, such as:

• drop in sperm count
• erection difficulties
• decrease in sex drive

You can read more about dutasteride here.

While these medications may help to reduce DHT levels, their serious side effects can be off-putting.

Another issue is that patients must keep using these drugs to maintain any positive results they achieve. Otherwise, the hair could start to fall out again. That means neither medication is likely to be a long-term solution.

This is just one reason why hair transplants have continued to increase in popularity in the past decade: one treatment is usually enough to achieve natural, lasting hair growth.

It’s best to speak with a hair transplant specialist to discover whether a procedure would be right for you. They’ll examine your hair and scalp to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.

Stem cell hair transplantation is a revolutionary treatment for patients experiencing different degrees of hair loss. 

But it can seem like a radical option compared to proven treatments, such as an FUE hair transplant. 

If you’re considering stem cell hair restoration, it’s vital that you understand how it works, what results it can achieve, and how much it’s likely to cost so you can make an informed decision. 

We’ll explore each of these key factors (and more) below. 

What are stem cells?

Stem cells are cells capable of renewing themselves and evolving into various cell types found inside the human body. They can replace cells that become damaged due to injury or disease, helping organs and tissue function properly.

Stem cells are unable to perform specific tasks in the body in their basic form. But by dividing and renewing, they can remain stem cells or transform to take on critical roles. 

How does stem cell hair transplantation work? 

While it’s easy to assume that stem cell hair transplantation is a far more complex process than, say, an FUE hair transplant, it’s surprisingly similar. The difference is that stem cells are transplanted rather than hair follicles. 

The aim of a stem cell hair transplant is to introduce new stem cells into the target area. These will replace those hair follicles that have stopped producing new strands and lead to fresh growth on the scalp. 

Stem cells will likely be taken from hair follicles during the procedure, though they could be sourced from blood or fat cells too.

These stem cells are extracted from the patient via a punch biopsy. The surgeon will use a high-precision tool fitted with a circular blade to take a sample of tissue from one or more areas. 

A local anaesthetic will be applied to the skin before the sample is extracted to keep the patient comfortable throughout.

The sample is then placed into a centrifuge, a machine that rotates a container at incredible speed to separate the stem cells from the tissue. Next, the isolated cells will be injected into those areas on the scalp affected by hair loss. 

How long does the recovery procedure take after the transplantation?

The post-treatment recovery process is typically fairly short. You should be allowed to go home after the procedure ends — it’s unlikely that you would need to stay in the clinic/hospital for observation. 

It’s recommended that you ask someone else to drive you home for safety reasons, due to the anaesthetic in your system. 

It’s also crucial that you take care of the treatment area. Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for a few days (possibly even a week). This may require you to take time away from work if your role is particularly physical. 

What results can you get with HST?

One stem cell hair transplantation study found that patients’ hair density increased by 29 percent 23 weeks after their treatment. 

One of the first patients to undergo a stem cell hair transplant in the UK found his hair began to grow back after years of thinning and baldness. You can see the results below:

The regrowth is impressive, but no more so than what patients can expect from an FUE hair transplant. For example, the FUE2 Safe System causes 95 – 100% of transplanted hairs to grow back (see below).

How much does a stem cell hair transplant cost?

The cost of a stem cell hair transplant is likely to vary from one clinic or hospital to another. 

For example, the UK procedure discussed above was priced at £2000. But that may not be the same for every patient. 

The cost will depend on the extent of the hair loss: the bigger the thinning/balding area, the higher the price. 

This is true of any hair transplant — the cost of an FUE hair transplant is based on the number of grafts required to achieve the desired growth. 

A small FUE procedure to restore growth in the hairline alone may involve 1000 grafts but more comprehensive hair loss, such as advanced male pattern baldness, might demand 4000 or 5000 grafts instead. 

Clinics or hospitals may be reluctant to offer their stem cell hair transplant prices at the research stage of a patient’s journey. They might invite patients to contact their team by phone, email, or in person before they provide a quote. 

It’s crucial that you take the time to research stem cell hair transplantation before you make your choice, as with any other form of hair restoration treatment. Speak with experts and explore other patients’ results so you know what to expect.  

Will stem cells be the future for hair transplantation?

At the time of writing, it’s hard to determine whether or not stem cells are the future of hair transplantation. 

Patients experiencing hair loss in any form have more treatments to choose from than ever today, and over time, stem cell hair transplants may become just as common as FUE or FUT techniques. 

But patients may require more evidence of success rates (both short- and long-term) and safety before they feel comfortable opting for a stem cell hair transplant over extensively tried-and-tested alternatives.

More research is required, and the amazing results that surgeons can achieve with the latest FUE hair transplant procedures mean there may be little justification for a more complex option.

Trichology is a respected field of medical study with more than a century of history behind it, yet the term may be new to many of us.

In this post, we’ll explore what trichology is, what it involves, and how it can help to solve certain conditions.

What is trichology?

Trichology is the study of hair, scalp, and issues that affect them. The term comes from the Ancient Greek for hair (thríx).

While the Institute of Trichologists was established in 1902, it’s still going strong more than 100 years later. Certified trichologists will be registered with a governing body, such as the Institute of Trichologists, and may be members of the Association of Registered Trichologists (ART). They are required to follow strict codes of professional conduct and ethical practice.

What does a trichologist do?

A trichologist’s work involves understanding, diagnosing, and treating patients affected by hair and/or scalp conditions.

Trichologists build their understanding of the human hair and scalp through exhaustive research. This empowers them with the insights they need to recognise a plethora of issues that patients may experience, and to make an accurate diagnosis.

Some patients may feel uneasy visiting their doctor to discuss changes to their hair if they feel it’s not something their GP can treat. But this is a trichologist’s area of expertise, and they’re dedicated to helping patients when possible.

What hair problems can a trichologist solve?

A trichologist can help to solve the following hair and scalp problems:

Male pattern baldness

According to the British Association of Dermatologists, male pattern baldness is the most common form of hair loss affecting men — around half of males over 50 will experience it.

It’s caused by a mix of hormonal and genetic factors, including dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This forces the scalp’s hair follicles to produce shorter, narrower, lighter strands of hair — until they stop producing it entirely.

Male pattern baldness can be passed on from one generation to another, from one or both parents (as female pattern baldness affects around half of women over 65).

Its severity can vary: some men may lose some growth at the hairline and crown, while others can develop full baldness on top of the scalp. The Norwood scale is a helpful resource for diagnosing male pattern baldness, encompassing seven stages of hair loss.

The most effective treatment for male pattern baldness is a hair restoration procedure. Hair transplants are more affordable, safe, and reliable than ever today, due to cutting-edge technology and innovative techniques.

Hair shedding

Hair shedding, also known as telogen effluvium, occurs when a patient loses more hair per day than is considered normal or healthy. This is between 50 and 100 daily on average (according to the American Academy of Dermatology).

You may notice more hairs on your pillow in the morning or in your shower drain after shampooing.

Various factors can cause telogen effluvium, such as:

• A physical trauma (an accident, surgery, etc.)
• Hormone fluctuations (as experienced during pregnancy)
• Nutrition deficiency (e.g. low iron or zinc)
• Medications (e.g. some antidepressants)

Hair shedding may stop after certain lifestyle changes, such as adopting a healthier diet, reducing stress, or taking medication. And there’s no guarantee that lost hair will grow back without treatment, such as a hair transplant.

Excessive hair growth

Patients may visit a trichologist to address excessive hair growth on the body, especially the face or visible areas (thighs, stomach, chest, neck). This is a condition known as hirsutism.

Hirsutism can be caused by:

• An increase in androgens
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Anabolic steroids
• Various medications
• Hormonal conditions

Treatment may involve controlling hormone levels, removing the hair temporarily with creams, or a permanent solution such as electrolysis or laser hair removal.

Hair breakage

Hair breakage can be caused by various conditions or issues, including:

• Idiopathic trichoclasia
• Trichokryptomania
• Trichorrhexis Nodosa
• Traumatic alopecia
• Specific hairdressing techniques

Healthy hair growth may be disrupted due to problems with the follicles, such as twisted strands, knots, excessive dryness, or overuse of dyes or extensions.

Patients may grow out of some of these conditions, but a trichologist might be able to recommend a treatment to ease or combat symptoms.

Excessive dandruff

Dandruff is a common issue affecting the scalp. Dead skin is shed from the scalp to an excessive degree, so that flakes become visible on the hair or a person’s clothing.

Dandruff can be caused by:

• Dry scalp
• Poor diet
• Over- or underuse of shampoo
• Eczema
• Psoriasis
• Excessive sebaceous oil secretion

Dandruff may be treated with specially formulated shampoos.

What to expect from a consultation with a trichologist?

During a consultation with a trichologist, they will discuss your medical history, lifestyle, diet, and approach to haircare. This will help them understand your problem and its cause.

The trichologist will also examine your hair and scalp with a digital microscope or magnification tool. This may involve analysing one or more areas in detail. They might also ask further questions while they work.

How does a trichologist reach a diagnosis and what is the next step?

A trichologist will make a diagnosis based on the information you provide and their close examination of your hair and scalp.

If your condition can be treated, they will recommend a treatment plan designed to help ease, reduce, or reverse the issue. They will provide a realistic outlook for the treatment’s success and the results you can expect to see in the future.

If your issue cannot be solved by the trichologist, they may recommend you visit a specialist in another field for further options.

We always love to learn how happy our patients are with the result of their hair transplants.

Alex had two hair transplants with us over the years; he first visited our clinic in 2017, then in 2019.

We transplanted 10 340 hairs to the areas bothering him, restoring the youthful density of his hair. And the result left Alex in awe. Receiving his feedback, we requested his permission to share his story with you.

Read on to find out more about Alex’s treatment!

Before the hair transplants

Alex first contacted us in August 2017. He was bothered that his hairline has crawled back and wanted to get back to his younger look.

So we invited him to a consultation to assess his condition.

During the 15-20 minute appointment, we examine the extent of the hair loss and the condition of the scalp. Additionally, we thoroughly check the size and quality of the donor area at the back of the head, because, during the treatment, we harvest the hairs from this part of the scalp.

After discussing his expectations, we sketched the new, lower hairline that Alex preferred. We found that he would need around 6000 hairs to achieve a good result.

Once he got his detailed treatment plan, Alex informed us that he is ready to book the date of his surgery.

As always, we also requested Alex to have some blood tests done to make sure there are no issues that could affect the procedure or its outcome.

While we can offer to have the tests arranged in Budapest (if the health questionnaire doesn’t indicate otherwise), Alex scheduled them through his GP. As his results came back in order, we could proceed with the treatment as planned.

Would you be interested in an accurate treatment plan tailored to your needs? Start with our free hair analysis!

Alex’s FUE2 hair transplant

We carried out the procedure on the 23rd of October 2017.

We used the FUE2 technique, meaning that we extract and implant the hairs one by one.

The donor area is at the back of the head, above the nape of the neck. The hairs growing hair are unaffected by the hormones responsible for male pattern baldness. As a result, these hairs will remain permanent after implanting them in a new area.

The donor hairs are extracted with a special micro-punch; after cleaning them, the hairs are implanted in the thinning areas with an implanter ending in a very fine needle.

In order to bring Alex’s hairline lower and build up the density, we implanted 5200 hairs to the front and 850 hairs to the middle portion of the top.

Naturally, transplanting this amount takes a while. With 6000 hairs, the treatment requires 2 days, taking around 6-7 hours each day. To ensure that patients spend these hours without experiencing pain or discomfort, we use local anaesthesia.

Alex took the surgery well – he got to know the team and the whole process through the 2 days.

The post-op period

Only a few hours after the surgery, patients have to remove the bandage from the donor area.

It’s crucial to let the new implants anchor in undisturbed. As such, patients cannot touch or wash the implanted area during the first week.

In this period, only the sterile saline solution can be applied to the scalp.

We hold the first check-up a week after the surgery. In Alex’s case, the implanted area progressed well; we could see he followed the instructions accurately. As we can see below, the scabs were still there, showing where the hairs were implanted.

After the first check-up, patients must start soaking the scabs off. We recommend soaking the scalp in lukewarm water for 15-20 minutes until the scabs soften up. Then a gentle massage can be applied to help them come off. Baby shampoo can be used from the 3rd week to wash the scalp and the hair.

The recovery between the 1^st and the 6^th month

By the end of the 3rd post-op week, all scabs must disappear. Around this time, the implanted hairs start to fall out.

There is no need to worry: it is natural at this point of the process. It is the result of the implanted roots entering the resting phase of their growth cycle.

The first signs of new growth will appear around the 3-4th post-op month as the first roots enter the anagen stage, and start producing hairs.

At the 6 months’ check-up, we saw how much the density improved – and Alex was excited to see the change.

A year after the surgery

For the 1-year check-up, we asked Alex to send us photos, so we could assess the outcome.

And the change was well visible.

The 6050 hairs grew out well, and the density improved significantly.

Alex’s second hair transplant

Alex returned for a consultation in the autumn of 2019. He explained that ideally, he would like to address the thinned out areas at the crown and the mid-top too.

We examined his hair and scalp and thoroughly discussed the distribution to find the best solution.

The procedure was carried out on the 7th of November 2019. We implanted 4000 hairs to the crown, and 290 hairs to the mid-top.

The surgery went well this time too, and Alex found that the treatment flew by quick.

After the day ended, we discussed the aftercare instructions and milestones of the post-op progress again, but Alex remembered most of it perfectly.

The healing progressed as it should, and Alex attended the regular check-ups just like after the first treatment.

A year later, in November 2020 we received his photos for the last check-up, to evaluate the result.

We found everything in order, and the hairs have grown out perfectly:

Alex explained that he is thrilled with the result and shared his feedback on Trustpilot too:

“Complete support from A to Z, and impeccable quality of care for an unbeatable price in Europe.

A driver will pick you up at the airport to take you to your accommodation, which is only 15 minutes’ walk from the clinic. An interpreter accompanies you during the treatment.

Had my second operation with this clinic, and I am fully satisfied with the services. I recommend without hesitation.”

We hope we could show what you can expect after the hair transplant surgery. If you have any further questions, or would like to consider an accurate quote, please feel free to contact our team!

Today’s hair transplant technology has the power to restore patients’ hair with natural, seamless results — but it wasn’t always this way.

Anyone affected by hair loss before modern techniques became available had fewer options, and the results of their surgery would be far less impressive than we expect now.

One of the most well-known forms of hair transplant surgery involved “hair plugs”, and some people still (incorrectly) use this term when discussing hair transplants today.

But what are hair plugs, when were they invented, and how has hair transplantation evolved since?

What are hair plugs?

The “hair plugs” technique was one of the earliest types of hair transplant, created in the 1950s. The first procedure was performed by Dr. Norman Orentreich, a dermatologist based in New York.

Dr. Orentreich also worked with Estée Lauder on developing its Clinique skincare products in the ‘60s and ‘70s, but his hair transplant surgery is generally what he’s best known for.

His technique involved extracting tiny, round portions of skin and hair follicles from the back of the head. These would be inserted into one or more balding areas on the scalp to restore growth.

The hair plug transplant technique was revolutionary at the time, but the results were less than impressive in some cases.

This photograph, depicting a hair transplant performed in 1965, shows the noticeable distance between the “plugs”.

As hair loss expert Spencer Stevenson told The Telegraph, “the transplanted hair would grow bunched together in unnatural looking groups, spaced unnaturally apart, rather than blending in with your remaining hair.”

This lack of precision led to uneven, inauthentic growth that could be compared to the fake hair inserted into a doll’s head.

Do hair plug treatments still exist?

You may still find surgeons performing hair plug transplants but they’re simply not worth considering — you have much more effective options to choose from instead.

The hair plug technique is outdated and unnecessary: it’s highly likely that patients would find the results disappointing compared to those that can be achieved through more advanced methods.

What are the differences between hair plugs and modern day hair transplantation methods?

The three main options available to people experiencing hair loss today are:

• FUE
• FUT
• Stem cell hair transplant

Let’s take a close look at each:

FUE

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the most popular hair transplant technique today. This is a minimally invasive solution for different types of hair loss, from mild hairline recession to male or female pattern baldness at an advanced stage.

How does it work?

The FUE method involves carefully extracting donor hair follicles from the back and sides of the scalp with a micropunch. These are prepared for implantation before being inserted into the target areas with great care.

How long does it take?

The duration of an FUE procedure varies based on the number of grafts required to achieve the patient’s desired results. A 2000-graft hair transplant will be faster and more straightforward than one requiring 6000 grafts.

Generally, FUE should take between three and eight hours, though more extensive surgery can last longer.

What results can you expect?

FUE hair transplants typically create natural hair growth that blends seamlessly with surrounding hair. Surgeons aim to match the growth pattern as accurately as they can for maximum satisfaction.

Are there any side effects?

Possible side effects of FUE hair transplants include:

• Swelling
• Bruising
• Itching
• Bleeding

Is the procedure uncomfortable?

FUE hair transplants tend to be comfortable. Patients will be injected with a local anaesthetic before the procedure to numb the area.

How much does it cost?

FUE hair restoration treatments in the UK can start from around £3,300 and continue up to £15,000 depending on the number of grafts required. But more competitive hair transplant packages are available at reputable clinics offering treatment outside the UK.

FUT

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is a less popular option than FUE but still widely available.

How does it work?

During an FUT procedure, a surgeon will cut a strip of skin from the back of the head and harvest its follicles. They will implant these into incisions on the scalp’s balding areas.

How long does it take?

FUT hair transplantation tends to be quicker than FUE, as donor follicles are taken from one strip of skin rather than across the scalp. Again, duration depends on the number of grafts involved, but it should take between three and eight hours.

What results can you expect?

FUT should provide a satisfactory standard of hair growth and coverage in thinning/balding areas. However, it will leave a visible scar on the back of the head that you may feel unhappy to show off.

In this case, you would need to grow your hair to cover the scar, which may limit your freedom to wear your hair exactly as you want to. Even after healing, FUT scarring can be noticeable — especially if a patient undergoes multiple FUT treatments, as in the image below.

Are there any side effects?

Potential FUT side effects include:

• Swelling
• Bruising
• Follicular inflammation
• Bleeding
• Numbness

Is the procedure uncomfortable?

FUT treatments can be more uncomfortable than FUE hair transplants due to their invasive nature. The wound created on the back of the head may cause some discomfort while it heals.

How much does it cost?

FUT procedures are typically cheaper than FUE and stem cell hair transplants, as they’re quicker and easier to perform. But patients will be left with visible scarring on the back of the head.

FUT transplants in the UK are available for between around £3000 to £12,000, though the costs may be higher based on the extent of work involved and the clinic’s rates.

Stem cell hair transplant

The stem cell hair transplant technique is one of the most advanced on the market, but it’s still in its infancy — which may put some prospective patients off.

How does it work?

Stem cells can divide and renew themselves to become different types of cells within the human body. They will replace damaged or diseased cells to help tissue and organs function properly.

During stem cell hair transplants, a surgeon will take stem cells from hair follicles via a punch biopsy. This requires a cutting-edge tool capable of removing a tissue sample with incredible precision. A local anaesthetic will be injected into the treatment area before the treatment begins.

This tissue sample will be inserted into a centrifuge to separate the stem cells from the skin. These isolated cells will be injected into one or more areas affected by hair loss. These will replace hair follicles that no longer produce hairs and cultivate new growth on the scalp.

How long does it take?

The duration of a stem cell hair transplant can vary from case to case, but it should be completed within eight hours.

What results can you expect?

Stem cell results appear to be similar to those achieved with FUT or FUE. One study found that hair density increased by 29 percent within six months of treatment.

Are there any side effects?

There’s little research into stem cell hair transplants at the time of writing, but potential side effects include:

• Scarring
• Bleeding
• Swelling

Is the procedure uncomfortable?

A local anaesthetic will be administered before the treatment, but some discomfort may occur during and after a stem cell hair transplant.

How much does it cost?

Little information on stem cell hair restoration costs is available at the time of writing, but one procedure covered in the media was priced at £2,000. As with all methods, stem cell transplants will differ based on the work involved.

Can you switch from hair plugs to a modern hair transplant?

Old hair plugs can be removed surgically and replaced via an FUE, FUT, or stem cell hair transplant procedure.

Patients who have undergone a hair plug treatment will be astonished by the difference in their hair growth following a more advanced procedure. The hair will look more natural and blend with existing hair on the back and sides of the scalp.

If you have hair plugs that you’re unhappy with, you may want to book a consultation at a hair clinic to discuss your options. A skilled surgeon should be able to transform your hair with a state-of-the-art technique.

The post Hair plugs: how has hair transplantation evolved? appeared first on HairPalace.

Derek gave us a call in January 2018. He explained to our colleagues that over the years, his hair loss left him with low density all over the top of his scalp. He was ready to take the necessary steps to restore his hair, and he was interested in his options with a hair transplant surgery.

For a thorough assessment, we invited him to an in-person consultation in Manchester.

During the appointment, we examined his hair and scalp and assessed the quality of his donor area.

To improve the density all over, Derek needed multiple sessions. We explained that with the first procedure, a realistic goal would be to build out the hairline and the front with around 5000 hairs. Then, with further sessions, we could continue the implantation towards the back.

Derek agreed to the proposed treatment plan and booked his surgery with us.

Eventually, he visited us for three procedures. And thanks to the 14758 implanted hairs, he got back the density of his hair.

Derek’s FUE2 procedures

At HairPalace, we use the FUE2 Safe System technique, which is the most advanced and the most effective method available.

During the treatment, we extract the hairs from the donor area above the nape of the neck and implant them to the thinned out areas one by one.

We only work in the upper layers of the skin using a micro-punch. As a result, compared to other techniques, the FUE2 is virtually scar-free.

Local anaesthesia is used, so patients experience minimal discomfort throughout the surgery.

We carried out Derek’ first hair transplant on the 11th of April 2018. In total, 5527 hairs were implanted to the hairline and front.

Derek took the surgery well and spent the long hours in a great mood.

He was glad that he could spend a few days beforehand exploring Budapest a bit.

With multi-session hair transplants, patients must wait a several months between procedures. It is crucial to give enough time for the scalp to heal and the implanted hairs to anchor in and grow.

As we moved on to treat a different part of the scalp, we could arrange Derek’s second procedure for the 12th of December 2018. This time, continuing the implantation at the crown, we transplanted 5201 hairs.

The second treatment went just as well as the first and Derek slept through most of it.

Derek’s third treatment was scheduled for the 9th of November 2019. By this time, the result of his second surgery was well visible, and he was ready to further improve the density at the crown. We did just that with the transplantation of 4030 hairs.

About the post-op care

After surgery, patients have to pay extra care for the implanted area. Right after the treatment, they have to start using a sterile saline solution aiding the recovery.

During the first week, nothing can touch the scalp, so the small wounds can close up undisturbed.

At this point, the small scabs are still visible; they will disappear gradually during the second post-op week.

Around a month after the surgery, patients can continue with their usual hair care routine.

From then on, as the natural part of the process, the implanted hairs will fall out. It is the result of the roots entering a resting phase – the new hair growth will begin from around the 4th post-op month.

The results

The result of a hair transplant is complete 12-15 months after the procedure. We have the last check-up at the 1-year mark; we arrange an examination and discuss the patient’s experiences.

Derek’s procedures were very successful, the implanted hairs grew out well each time.

He was very happy with the outcome of his treatments.

Take a look at how his hair was transformed after the three hair transplants:

„…I am very happy with the results. You can get cheaper deal in places like Turkey, Egypt etc but I wanted a clinic with a high reputation and this clinic justifies its reputation.
I would strongly recommend this clinic to anyone who is thinking of a hair transplant. You will be in good hands and you will have peace of mind!”
