Human hair is transplantable just like other human tissues. Hair transplantation is to use a special device to cut out the tissues around the hair follicles completely from the scalp in situ, and then transplant it to a position where the hair needs some preparation and has the conditions to accept the hair, which is called hair transplantation.

Hair transplantation principle

Take hair follicles in the back of the human body as the source, and then separate them into single or multiple hair follicle units. Using fine microsurgical techniques, transplant the hair follicle units to the site that needs to be transplanted, such as the head, eyebrows, eyelashes, beards, chest, Eyelashes, genitals, etc., allow them to survive and grow naturally in new parts, so as to achieve the purpose of repairing local hair distribution density and achieve beautiful results. In fact, hair transplantation is also a kind of "demolition of the eastern wall to make up the western wall", to achieve a concealed, visual hair growth effect.

International Hair Transplantation Technology

(1) , FUT

Single hair follicle cultivation and regeneration technology, which focuses on extracting hair follicles from the posterior occipital region, and transplants them with patented fine instruments.

Suitable: For those with large or severe hair loss area, it can take up to about 3,000 units at a time, leaving thin linear scars in the hair removal area after surgery.

(2) , FUE

Non-surgical hair transplantation technology uses a micro dissociation device to extract hair follicles individually from the posterior occipital part, and transplants them individually to the hair loss site according to the hair growth direction. Suitable for: people with small hair loss area or perfection, single hair follicle extraction, no sutures and sutures, fast healing, no traces left, can take more than 3000 units at a time.

The hair transplantation technologies in use in China are FUT and FUE. First of all, compare the following various technologies in terms of preoperative detection, hair removal area, hair removal method, hair transplantation method, etc.

Three steps to hair transplant

First: take a fusiform flap in the posterior occipital region, and then suture the skin under reduced pressure, and the outer layer is sutured continuously. After the wound was healed, there was no obvious scar, leaving only a thin scar hidden in the hair. Since a small piece of hair was taken in the longitudinal direction of a hair follicle tissue, there was no significant change in the appearance of the original posterior occipital hair.

Second: Hair follicle separation: The removed skin flap is divided into several small transplant units without damaging the hair follicles. Also called transplant embryos, each transplant embryo contains 1-3 hair follicles (the size of the transplant embryo is determined according to the method of surgery) This process is very strict and requires medical staff to have a high degree of patience and care. Otherwise, it will damage part of the hair follicles and cause losses to patients.

Finally: Hair follicle implantation: Make some micro-incisions or punch holes in the bald area to implant the transplanted embryo into the skin. This process determines the appearance after surgery. Because the number of hair follicles is limited, artistically distribute the limited hair follicles to the top of the head in order to achieve the best visual effects, especially the distribution of hair follicles at the hairline is very important, otherwise it will not look good even if hair grows.

Hair transplant hair effect

FUT ----- (follicle unit transplant), multiple rhombic skin flaps of the hindbrain were extracted, the hair follicles were separated, and then transplanted to the hairless area.

Advantages: It is suitable for those with large or severe hair loss areas. It can take up to about 3000 units at a time, and the postoperative effect is ideal. The price of the three is the lowest and the effect is ideal. Disadvantages: A palmprint-sized scar remains in the donor area after surgery.

FUE ----- (follicle unit extration) Because a single hair follicle is extracted and a single hair follicle is planted, the wound area is small, so after surgery, after the blood pupa has faded, no scars can be seen on the whole. After 6-9 months, the hair can grow To the original hair length. After hair transplantation, there will be a slight change in the number of hair follicles, and a small change in the number of hair, but the eyes cannot tell.

The hair transplantation effect is guaranteed first. According to the newer technology, the surgical method is to remove a fusiform flap with healthy hair follicles and hair shafts from the posterior pillow of the brain after local anesthesia, and process it with high-precision technology. After treatment, the healthy hair follicles and hair embryos are separated, and then transplanted to the desired site according to a certain rule. After several months of survival, development, and growth, permanent natural hair groups can be formed to cover the bald area. And truly traceless.

Second, the effect of hair transplantation is worth noting that within two weeks after surgery, you should avoid rubbing the hair transplantation area so as to avoid damage to the hair in the transplantation area and affect the effect. Because vigorous exercise will increase blood circulation in the scalp and may cause wound bleeding in the transplantation area, so Avoid strenuous exercise or physical contact for three weeks after surgery.

Third, the hair survival rate and surgical effect of hair transplantation are directly related to the doctor's clinical skills and the degree of precision of the operation. Poor technology not only fails to achieve the purpose of treatment, but also wastes precious hair residual supply areas. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out Patients with hair transplantation should go to regular hospitals and seek doctors with rich clinical experience to achieve safe and ideal hair transplantation results.

Four basic characteristics of ideal hair

(1) Elastic (2) Soft and bright (3) Tight structure (4) Black

Hair transplantation

Hair is naturally moisturized, beautiful and soft, and easy to comb.

Mechanism: Good blood circulation, normal moisturization to form a layer of this acidic protection net, oil secretion is normal.

Care: Choose gentle, high-moisture products to protect existing hair.

Recommendation: Shampoo 3-5 times a week.

Hair Dry Hair

Features: Dry, tight, sensitive and itchy hair, tarnished hair, lack of elasticity, lifeless, and make hair fall off quickly

Mechanism: due to lack of oil secretion, external influences, such as excessive use of hairdressing equipment, improper electric hair, keratin loss caused by staining tract.

Care: Choose moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, gently massage the scalp and hair during use, choose mild electric hair and hair dye products or reduce the number of times, regularly use repair products, repair damaged structures, strengthen protection, Revitalizes scalp and hair.

Oily scalp and hair

Features: Hair is too greasy and unclean, loses elasticity, becomes loose, difficult to style, and does not last long.

Mechanism: Excessive secretion of fat, dietary nutrition: such as excessive absorption of sweet sugar, starch or high fat foods.

Nursing: Remember not to: 1. Brush vigorously and massage the scalp. 2. Use too strong shampoos, use shampoo products with proprietary balanced oils. 3. Hot water cannot be used for flushing, only warm water can be used. After shampooing daily, use a hair lotion that tightens the scalp and controls oil secretion.

Abnormal hair loss

Causes of hair loss:

(1) External factors:

1. Take medicine. 2. Bacterial infection. 3. The shampoo is too strong. 4. Greasy dandruff blocks pores. 5. Improper blowing, dyeing, electricity, and bleaching.

(II) Internal factors:

1. Heredity, increase in age. 2. Inadequate nutrition, lack of vitamins and amino acids. 3. Hair mother cells and hair follicles are injured. 4. Vascular disorders. 5, endocrine disorders, hormone secretion is not coordinated.

Hair loss prevention:

Keep your scalp clean and wash your hair frequently to promote capillary patency, massage more, promote blood circulation, take more rest, fully absorb nutrients, and take more vitamins A, D, B6, etc., the scalp often uses the scalp to nourish and maintain itself.

Suggested Use: Anti-dandruff and anti-pruritic type, hair growth and anti-hair loss type, nutritional care shampoo products. (For more information about hair loss and treatment products, please visit our website for detailed information on hair loss.)

PH Hair pH

The pH value of hair is 4.5-5.5, and strong acid and weak alkaline substances are not good for hair.

Nutritional ingredients required for hair: Vitamin B5, protein, silk protein, amino acids, animal and vegetable oils, placenta, moisture, etc., all of which play a nutritional role in the hair.

In a healthy state, the hair can grow about 1 cm a month, but the growth rate of the hair is not absolutely constant, and it is also affected by the season and age. Hair grows faster in spring and summer, but is slower in autumn and winter.

After fully grasping the structure of the hair and understanding the characteristics of the hair, it is necessary to carry out appropriate trimming.

Normal hair, sebum secretion is normal, shiny and elastic.

Greasy hair, excessive sebum secretion, the epidermis of the head and hair are sticky.

Dry hair, because there is too little sebum secretion, there is no gloss, there is a feeling of dryness. It can be said that the nature of hair is the same as that of skin, facial sebum belongs to dry people, and hair is also dry.

Factors Affecting Hair Transplantation

1. Methods of hair transplantation:

Only the equipment used is fine and the space it takes up is small, so that the surrounding hair is not lost, and the density of the hair transplant is high. At the same time, because of the fine equipment, the scalp trauma can be minimized, and the skin blood flow is restored quickly. There was no obvious scar on the scalp in the hair transplant area.

2. The team of hair transplant experts has a high level of technology and a fine division of labor:

Hair follicles are small and numerous, and hair transplantation requires a high degree of care, eyesight, and endurance from the doctor. If you rely solely on 3-4 doctors or fewer doctors to operate, even if the doctor's starting point is good, the hair transplantation technology and actual conditions are also The objective effect cannot be achieved, that is, there is more than enough heart and insufficient power. Hair transplant relies on a team's technical level, tacit understanding and careful division of labor, and any link in hair transplant cannot be ignored. Only when multiple doctors cooperate with each other to ensure the quality of the links they are responsible for can the best hair transplantation effect be achieved;

3. Equipped equipment:

According to reports, microscopic separation and hair follicle implantation methods have determined the effectiveness of hair transplantation and hair follicle utilization. Hair transplant patients have enough hair on the back of their pillows. It is also necessary for hair transplant doctors to have sufficient levels of separation and implantation to ensure their survival rate in order to achieve the considerable results after hair transplant surgery. The use of a microscope can greatly reduce the rate of hair follicle loss and improve its utilization rate.

Indications for hair transplantation

Hair loss scarring

Autologous hair transplantation is preferred. If the scar is small, skin reshaping can be considered to reduce the scar to a minimum before performing hair transplantation.

Seborrheic hair loss

Should be used to control oil secretion, then consider autologous hair transplantation.

Hair loss

Within six months after the beginning of hair loss, surgery is not recommended. Due to the curative properties of useful drugs, if hair is not grown for six months after treatment, autologous hair transplantation is considered.

Hair loss

First treat the primary disease. If the primary disease is not cured for six months, hair transplantation is considered.

Hair transplant drug-induced hair loss

Generally, hair can grow naturally within 3 to 6 months after the drug is stopped, without surgery, but special circumstances are not ruled out.

Contraindications for hair transplantation

First, people with alopecia in a large number of hair loss periods should not choose hair transplantation surgery in a short time. Because hair transplantation surgery simply redistributes hair follicles to achieve the purpose of coverage, it cannot control hair loss or increase the number of original hair follicles. So remind For the majority of patients with hair loss, do not rush to wait until the hair loss has stabilized before choosing hair transplant surgery, so that the ideal transplantation effect will be achieved and it will be maintained for a long time. For patients in the alopecia phase, drug control is ideal. Method: The real medicine for hair loss can be afforded by most working-class people, so don't worry about the cost, as long as you choose the Chinese medicine standard.

Second, patients with alopecia areata should not choose hair transplantation surgery in a short time. Especially all baldness and general baldness will bring greater pain to the patient, and the psychological pain is even worse. The patient is eager to seek medical advice. The mood is understandable, but patients with alopecia areata should know the fact that alopecia areata is self-limiting. Although its course can last for months or even up to two years, most patients can be completely or partially natural. Healing. Correctly understand the nature of your hair loss and do not choose hair transplant blindly. Patients with alopecia areata are short-term irritating hair loss. It is not recommended to immediately transplant hair before it is uncertain whether it will grow again to avoid wasting resources.

3. People who have just healed by burns and scalds are not suitable for choosing hair transplantation in a short time. People who have just healed by burns and scalds have weak subcutaneous tissues and severely impaired blood flow. Will be greatly reduced.

Finally, hair transplant experts remind that hair transplant surgery, like other surgical procedures, is risky. To avoid adverse conditions and ensure better surgical results, you must choose a formal professional medical institution when doing hair transplant surgery, but choose a professional Hair transplant doctors are more important than institutions.

Advantages of hair transplant surgery

Features of hair transplant hair transplant

Design your hairline according to your head, face, temperament, and age. Transplant according to normal hair growth direction and distribution. There are no marks or scars left in the transplant area. The hair after transplantation is no different from the surrounding hair and grows with the growth of the surrounding hair.

The day before the hair transplant

To clean the scalp and hair, take a shower the night before and the morning of the hair transplant. Wash your hair carefully with shampoo one day to keep your hair clean.

Notes on the day of hair transplantation

Clothing: Large, comfortable and soft front buttoned or zippered clothes. Avoid inconvenient pullovers or sweaters. Because the surgical transplantation area cannot be touched for 3 days after surgery, try not to wear pullovers.

Diet: Do not fast on a normal diet. Avoid alcoholic beverages and greasy foods. Do not try foods you haven't eaten on the day of surgery to avoid allergies or indigestion.

Patients wearing wigs should remove their wigs and wash their hair.

Hair transplant system

The hair transplant system is an auxiliary tool used by the operator before the hair follicle transplantation. It is used to determine whether the hair follicles to be transplanted in the hair follicle area meet the transplantation standards. How high the survival rate after transplantation is, it mainly detects eight major items: 1 .Signing of hair loss level; 2.Detection of scalp hair follicle density; 3.Sebaceous gland metabolism test; 4.Scalp toxin test; 5.Follicle cell test; 6.Allergic scalp test; 7.Micro trace element test; 8. Hair damage detection.

Generally, hair transplantation uses a special device to cut out the tissues around the hair follicles completely from the scalp in situ, and then transplant it to a position where the hair needs some preparation and has the condition to accept the hair. Therefore, the area of hair loss on the scalp and the It is very important to calculate the thinness of the guest's hair, that is, the number of hair follicles in the hair loss area of the guest needs to be calculated. Only after this number is obtained, the operator can know how many hair follicles need to be removed and implanted. If you take less in one operation, you may need to take the skin again in the second operation. If you take more, you will bring more trauma to the guest. Usually, the operator of the original method needs to measure the guest's hair loss with a ruler before the operation. Area and experience to determine the number of hair follicles per square centimeter of guests.

The hair transplantation system helps the operator to measure the hair loss area of the guests and the number of hair follicles per square centimeter. It only needs to take a photo of the whole head. The hair transplantation system can calculate what level of hair loss the guest belongs to. How many hairs need to be added in this level of hair loss. At the same time, men are divided into eight categories and women are divided into four categories. The software also summarizes the causes of hair loss and suggestions for improving hair loss based on each level of hair loss. For example, the cause of seborrheic hair loss is a structural defect in the hair follicles on the top of the head, at which time degradation and atrophy occur. The main cause of hair loss is genetic factors, and this genetic manifestation is selective. It usually begins to appear around the age of 20. At the same time, androgen levels also affect the degradation and atrophy of the hair follicles. Because the hair follicle has a special androgen receptor, the serum dihydrotestosterone receptor, changes in the androgen level will affect the binding to the receptor and accelerate the degradation and atrophy of the hair follicle. Both men and women contain androgens and estrogen, both of which are in a balanced state. External factors such as improper diet, insufficient sleep, mental stress, low mood, and heavy workload directly affect endocrine and cause imbalance of estrogen androgen secretion, which can accelerate hair loss. Androgen level changes are also the main cause of male hair loss and female hair loss, so it is also called androgenetic hair loss, or male hair loss. The structure of the hair follicles on both sides of the head and the back of the occipital region is complete and healthy. Suggestions for improvement are to drink honey cucumber juice every day to strengthen kidney and diuretic and prevent hair loss.

After the system finishes the analysis of the hair loss level, it needs to check the hair follicle density of the client. The CBS hair transplant software uses a 60-fold magnification. Through this density analysis software, the number of hair follicles per square centimeter of this guest can be accurately calculated. Based on this data, you can calculate how much skin the operator needs to take from the guest.

The emergence of a hair transplant system helps operators obtain data more quickly and accurately, and also reduces the pain of guests.

Hair and Hair Complications

1. Mild bleeding in wounds and transplants after bleeding is normal. Use a sterile gauze to lightly press the bleeding area for 3 to 5 minutes to stop bleeding, or use a hemostatic medicine. Before and after surgery, avoid irritating foods, ban alcohol, stop using aspirin, and drugs such as vitamin E, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis; it will help to avoid bleeding.

2. Follow the principle of aseptic operation during infection and hair transplantation surgery. After the use of antibiotics, infection will not occur. Sanlitong. When your wound is uncomfortable or painful, you can take 1 tablet orally, every 4 hours between medications.

3. Swelling Some patients with severe hair loss will have mild edema on the forehead and nose bridge on the third or fourth day after surgery, which is normal. To reduce swelling, you can: use the 2-3 pillows to raise your head when sleeping in the first three days after the operation; apply ice packs on the forehead and the non-hair-prone areas on the sides of the head to reduce edema, and generally recover within one week No special treatment is required; note: please do not apply the ice pack to the transplant site.

4. The cause of endogenous hair and foreign body reaction is that the useless hair follicles are not removed in the preparation of hair embryos, which causes the hair to forcibly grow into the subcutaneous tissue and stimulate the formation of foreign body reactions. The important thing is to prevent it;

5. Epidermal cyst;

6. Hair loss caused by transient surgery, also known as terminal hair loss;

7. Scar and hair removal will not leave obvious scars, linear scars will be left in the occipital donor area, and it is not obvious when there is hair cover;

8. The operation area feels dull or numb and can usually recover on its own;

9. Partial necrosis of the transplanted hair.

How much does it cost to grow hair?

The hair transplant industry is gradually growing, and various quotations make many hair transplant patients wonder how to choose. There are various types of hair transplantation technologies, and the prices of the corresponding hair transplants brought by different hair transplantation technologies are also different. Hair transplantation technology continues to increase from the mark hair transplantation technology to the markless hair transplantation technology. Therefore, the price that is too cheap may be that the technology used by their hospitals is relatively cheap. Or maybe their hospitals and doctors are not well qualified. But is the more expensive hair growing better?

Although the overly cheap price may be due to the cheaper technology they use, this does not mean that the more expensive the hair is, the better. In order to avoid being deceived by patients with hair loss, Director Zhu here briefly introduces the price of hair planting. Judging from the current development of the domestic hair planting industry, the hair transplantation technology generally uses non-marking hair transplantation, which uses a price of about 8-12 yuan per unit of hair follicle. In other words, if there are a large number of hair follicles to be planted in patients with hair loss, their corresponding hair transplant prices are relatively high. Otherwise it is less. If the scope of hair planting is not large, the cost of hair planting generally ranges from several thousand yuan.

Reasons for hair transplant failure

Reason one: blind followers of their own

Hair loss patients, especially those in the early stages of hair loss, are psychologically anxious, anxious, fragile, and even fearful. At this time, if you hear or see a message that can completely treat hair loss, it is like grabbing a life-saving straw. In the same way, hold tight and don't give up, so that a careless swarm comes.

Cause two: Fish eyes mixed in irregular hair transplant hospital

There are only a few hospitals with hair transplant qualifications in China, and only a few hair transplant hospitals are designated by the Chinese Medical Doctors Association. But nationwide, there are many large and small hospitals under the banner of professional hair transplantation. Only when it is established early, experienced hair transplant hospitals can guarantee more reasonable prices under the condition of ensuring hair transplant results.

Hair transplantation and hair failure repair technology

Hair restoration technology

1. The patented non-mark hair removal device can be used for reasonable hair removal based on the basis of recovery before hair removal after surgery, to ensure the health of the hair follicles and the overall evenness of the back pillow.

2. In the planting aspect, patented transplant needles are used to evenly and reasonably distribute hair follicles in the seeding area and the previous hair removal area. The postoperative effect is natural and true, while covering the uneven traces of the original hair.

3. Hair repair technology repairs no marks, ideal effect, fast recovery, easy and comfortable operation, fine operation during operation, patients can complete the operation in sleep, no tension or discomfort.
