Causes of hair loss
The most common cause of alopecia is androgenetic alopecia, but hair loss can also be caused by the consumption of certain medications, hormonal disorders or even poor diet.
Hair grafting: definitive hair recovery
Hair loss can be slowed or alleviated thanks to different treatments, but when the process is already advanced, it is necessary to resort to hair grafting. The purpose of this Aesthetic Medicine intervention is to recover hair permanently for life with a simple minor surgery that is performed on an outpatient basis.
People who undergo a hair graft treatment are usually men with medium or advanced hair loss, as well as people with scarred areas such as burns, and also those who wish to repopulate hair in eyebrows, beard or pubic area.
The operation has an important psychological component, since its objective is to improve the self-esteem lost due to the alopecic process.
Currently there are two surgical techniques for hair grafting:
FUE technique: this has been the most demanded due to its excellent results.
FUSS or strip technique.
Results of hair grafting with FUE technique
The results are completely natural and definitive, the transplanted hair will last a lifetime.
The optimal time of result is after an adaptation period of three to five months, since this is when the follicles that have been transplanted will begin their normal and definitive growth of one centimeter per month.
In the six to twelve months after the procedure, the hair will continue to grow in length and diameter.
Ten to twelve months after the operation, the hair already has the same characteristics as the hair in its area of origin, so it will not need special care.
