Hair is your sign of identity. It is that element that generates attractiveness and adds value to your image. But, one day, you start to feel like a stranger in front of the mirror. It is that inevitable moment in the lives of many men, and also in that of some women. And unless you are one of those lucky ones who maintain an enviable hair density, alopecia will most likely come into your life at any moment.
Alopecia is the most common dermatological disease. It affects 1 in 2 men in their lifetime, and approximately 25% of Caucasian women have this problem between 35 and 45 years of age; a percentage that rises to 35% as we approach 50 years of age.
And it is by no means a minor problem; Hair loss causes frustration in the person who suffers it, who sees a constant and general loss of hair perpetrate, which can cause serious problems of self-esteem and affect the quality of life.
If you love your hair, you have probably tried some drug treatment and, of course, all kinds of tricks to hide that incipient fall.
But, realistically, the only way to go back to being the hairy one that you once was is to have a micro hair transplant.
How to deal with hair loss?
In more than 95% of cases, hair loss occurs as a consequence of androgenetic alopecia , a set of factors of hormonal and hereditary origin.
“It consists of a set of hormonal and hereditary factors that affects only the front and upper part of the head”, as stated by Dr. Horacio Foglia, medical director of Medical Hair Spain, a leading center in hair medicine.
It is true that many causes, such as nutrition problems or stress, can weaken the hair follicle and lead to hair loss. But the cases in which the hair follicle cannot regenerate are the most frequent: it is the so-called androgenetic alopecia.
What is the hair microtransplant?
If the causes that cause hair loss are hereditary or hormonal, it will be difficult for the lost hair to be regenerated through the stimulation of the hair follicles. That is, in many cases, these follicles have been lost, and there is no way to regenerate them other than through hair microtransplantation.
Hair microtransplantation using the FUE technique consists of extracting the follicular units one by one from the genetically programmed areas so as not to fall , that is, the nape and sides of the head, and then transplanting them to the recipient or hairless areas where alopecia is suffered . It is a treatment that is performed under local anesthesia and on an outpatient basis. The patient can resume his normal life the next day.
Medical Hair is a specialist in performing mega hair sessions. This means that, in less time, more hair can be transplanted. Furthermore, since it is the patient’s own hair, there is no possibility of rejection and the growth rate is normal, one centimeter per month. We will have the final result one year after the transplant.
Since implanted hair is not affected by androgenetic alopecia, it cannot fall out again, so the result is totally natural and for life.
The intervention is, for many patients, a change of life and is, without a doubt, the most effective way to recover your hair.
