Hair loss for a man or woman is a very sensitive issue, and it affects millions of people. The majority of hair loss is genetic, but
stress, poor nutrition, and illness can cause it as well. Hair replacement surgery provides a permanent solution to hair loss. Patients
of the Hair Transplant Center of Naples have had life changing improvements in self-confidence and self-esteem after hair restoration.
The principle of hair transplantation is simple. Transplanted hair follicles (roots moved from their original location on the body to
another area) should behave as they did in their original site. In typical baldness, for example, a horseshoe-shaped fringe of hair
persists. Follicles removed from this hairy fringe to a bald area on the same patient's scalp should take root and grow. Since 1958,
hair growth from such transplants has been observed to grow a life-time.They must be placed at the appropriate angle and location to
blend harmoniously with any native hairs. Remember, the key to achieving an undetectable result is properly positioning the hairline
for one's current age, and having the foresight to anticipate future native hair loss and planning for this accordingly.
There are two main techniques used by our physicians to reduce typical pattern baldness: follicular unit grafting (transplanted microscopic
hair follicles) and scalp reduction (which reduces the size of the balded area).
Follicular unit micrografting involves taking hairs from the back of the head which are not susceptible to balding, and transplanting
those to the needed areas along the hairline and top of the head. Each follicular unit graft contains one to four hairs, with its
supporting elements. Usually the one-hair grafts are used in several rows along the frontal hairline in an irregular fashion, followed
by two-, three-, and four-hair follicular unit micrografts behind this. The microscopic detail and finesse with which these micrografts
are harvested and transplanted provides the most natural results.
Scalp reduction is used to reduce large areas of baldness while hair grafts are used to fill in and refine the hairline. In some cases,
a combination of scalp reduction sessions and hair graft sessions may be necessary. Since the degree of baldness is different for all
persons, only an individual consultation can provide the most appropriate plan for hair replacement.
At The Aesthetic Surgery Center, hair replacement surgery is an art form. Drs. Agarwal and Maloney are facial plastic surgeons trained
in the art of microsurgery. Their attention to detail and their use of micro-follicular unit grafting allows for natural, yet virtually
undetectable results.
