Hair Replacement Surgery - Micrografts
What is Hair Replacement Surgery?
Hair replacement surgery has had a bad press in the past due
to poor-looking results. Some hair transplant surgeons failed to take into
account replicating the natural hair growth pattern. The fifties saw some
monstrous procedures whereby plugs of hair were removed and implanted in
one chunk to save on time and costs. The resulting similarity with doll's
hair was particularly unnatural looking. These days, not only has the procedure
been honed to a fine art, more care is taken over producing a natural look.
The procedure can even be done while watching a film.
What are Micrografts and How Do These work?
Most surgical hair restoration techniques now use micrografts.
The patient is sedated or anesthetized before the procedure starts. A thin
strip of skin is removed from the back of the head, where it is least noticed.
This thin strip is then sliced into sections containing one, two, three,
or maybe four follicles (the root of the hair which supplies nutrients).
A star shaped punch is then used to insert these "micrografts" in
the chosen position. This way a much more natural hairline can be achieved.
There is often a little bleeding associated with this procedure and adrenalin
may be used to help quench it.
Bandages are usually applied for the first few days
to allow the micrografts to settle, hair washing is strongly
discouraged. Most people return to work within a week.
There is usually a resting phase or "telogen" following
this procedure, where the hair does not appear to grow.
This usually corrects itself, and normal growth resumes
within a matter of months for most people. Micrografts
are designed to be permanent, however sometimes a second
session is required to fine-tune the final look.
