Understanding Hair Transplant Procedures
Overview
Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that involves relocating hair follicles from a section of the scalp where hair growth is abundant to areas experiencing thinning or baldness.
History of Hair Transplantation
The journey of hair restoration began in the 1930s, with Japanese doctors experimenting on transferring skin and hair from healthy areas to those damaged by injury. In the 1950s, dermatologist Norman Orentreich introduced the concept of "donor dominance." This theory posits that transplanted hair maintains its growth characteristics even in a new location. Despite initial skepticism, Orentreich is now recognized as the pioneer of hair transplants.
Modern Hair Transplantation
Today, hair transplantation is the most prevalent elective surgery for men, offering superior results compared to other hair restoration techniques. Although the foundational principles remain similar to Orentreich's early procedures, modern practices have evolved to focus on graft size for improved aesthetics.
Evolution of Graft Techniques
Earlier methods were characterized by a patchy look due to larger grafts. Surgeons soon realized that smaller grafts yielded better outcomes. Consequently, the procedure now uses a variety of grafts?"punch, mini, micro, slit, and strip?"each varying in size and shape.
The Hair Transplant Process
In a typical hair transplant, small scalp sections with healthy hair are moved to bald or thinning areas. The number of surgeries required can vary, with some treatments spanning up to two years.
Types of Grafts
1. Punch Grafts
2. Mini-Grafts
3. Micro-Grafts
4. Slit Grafts
5. Strip Grafts
Smaller grafts, such as mini or micro-grafts, often require multiple surgeries, with up to 700 plugs transplanted per session compared to about 50 large plugs in initial procedures.
