Hi, I am Dr.Raghu and I specialize in hair transplant procedures. I have overall 14 years of experience (practicing since 2010) in this field and have successfully performed 3500 to 4000 hair transplant surgeries so far.
Many people do not know what is Hair transplant and how it is performed. They have many doubts about how successful the procedure is, the recovery process, and the long-term results. Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves extracting hair follicles from one part of the body, usually the back or sides of the head, and transplanting them to areas of the scalp with thinning or balding hair. If the donor area is not enough, we take hair from other parts of the body such as the chest or beard.
Usually one will have 1,00,000 hairs to 1,20,000 hairs on their scalp. This number is predetermined by genetics, and some individuals may start losing hair due to factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions.
Initially, hair loss can be controlled by medication but the hair loss will be back once the medication is stopped. One cannot notice the hair thinning until they lose 50% of their hair volume. Different people have different patterns of hair loss. Some people may have a receding hairline, while others may experience thinning on the crown of the head or a combination of both.
So the first step is to determine the cause and severity of the hair loss.
This can be done through a consultation with a hair transplant specialist, who will examine the scalp, ask about medical history, and potentially perform tests to assess the underlying factors contributing to hair loss. If the hair loss is determined to be genetic or hormonal, hair transplantation is often recommended as the main treatment strategy.
Once the cause and severity of the hair loss are determined, a hair transplant procedure may be recommended.
The best time to approach a hair doctor is when one notices significant hair loss or thinning and wants to take action to restore their hair. No matter your age or gender, hair transplant surgery can be a viable option for those who are experiencing hair loss. Ages from 22 to 72 years old have undergone hair transplant surgeries at FACE CLINICS by Dr.Raghu with great success.
