Hair thinning is a widespread problem that impacts many people, both men and women, in all age groups. This loss of hair density is primarily due to androgenetic alopecia. While medical hall fall treatments can help control hair fall and slow down hair thinning, they are often insufficient once hair loss reaches advanced grades. In these cases, hair transplant is the only viable solution. This article explores the varied solutions and effective alopecia areata treatment in Mumbai. We will learn about hair transplant in detail, examining the causes of hair thinning, the grafting techniques available, and their advantages, as well as the benefits of complementary treatments like GFC, Mesotherapy, lasers, etc., to optimize results.
Androgenetic alopecia, also known as pattern hair loss, is the most common cause of hair loss and thinning. It results from a hereditary predisposition and sensitivity to androgens (“male” hormones), particularly DHT (di-hydro-tes-to-ste-rone). DHT is a derivative of tes-to-ster-one hormone that acts on hair follicles, causing them to progressively miniaturise. Over time, hair becomes increasingly fine and short until bald patches appear on the Frontotemporal and crown area.
Although androgenetic alopecia is more common in men, it also affects women of all age groups, typically manifesting as a widening of parting line & diffuse hair thinning. Medical treatments like fin–ast-eri-de tablet (anti-androgen) and minoxidil solution (a regrowth stimulant) can help slow hair loss and promote regrowth. However, their effectiveness is limited when the miniaturisation of the hair follicle is already significant. They need to be continued indefinitely to maintain the benefits and prolong the hair growth cycle. A hair transplant is often considered a long-term solution to restore hair sustainably.
Bio-FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) is currently the most widely used hair transplant technique to treat hair thinning and baldness. This procedure involves removing individual hair follicles using a circular punch ranging from 0.8- 1 mm in diameter. Each graft contains 1 to 4 hair follicles. The grafts are then meticulously re-implanted into the thinning areas of the scalp under magnification. As per the anatomical angle and direction of hair growth to achieve a natural result. The miniaturised hairs in the particular scalp area, help in guiding the direction of the hair growth.
Bio-FUE offers numerous advantages over the older FUT (Strip) technique, which involves excising a strip of scalp from the donor area. It includes:
Hair transplant is an advanced technique that can recreate increased hair density in the treated areas, whether it’s the frontal region, temporal peaks, or crown. It allows the hairline to be reshaped for a more youthful appearance that suits your facial profile. Although it takes almost a year to visualize the final result, FUE represents an effective and lasting solution to combat thinning hair. Individuals can also go for a hairline transplant to get a natural-looking hairline.
While Bio-FUE hair transplant effectively restores density to balding areas, combining it with complementary treatments can optimize and maintain the results.
Combining hair transplant with GFC hair treatment offers numerous benefits when treating hair loss. On the day of surgery, injecting GFC (growth factor concentrate) promotes graft survival and regrowth. Post-transplant, continued GFC therapy consolidates the results and slows the loss of non-transplanted hair.
This combined approach, therefore, yields healthy & dense hair volume. Grafts benefit from an optimal environment for growth, and the transition from the shedding phase to the growth phase (Anagen) is early. Also, the existing hair is strengthened, especially in the crown scalp. GFC hair treatment success rate is very high. GFC treatment can be performed quarterly over the first year following transplant, then 2-3 times annually for maintenance. It provides valuable support and ensures compliance for the best possible long-term results when treating thinning hair.
