Here is What You Can Do"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It gives great confidence when one has healthy hair and styles to their preference, but what happens when it starts thinning, stops growing and eventually develops a bald area?\u00a0 It gets stressful; loss of hair can affect one\u2019s confidence, causing them to think negatively of their beauty. Bald patches are areas of hair loss that appear due to different conditions. It could be on the scalp, beard, eyebrows or even eyelashes. Gladly, in order to deal with permanent hair loss, some techniques have been introduced to restore one\u2019s hair and bring back their confidence. One of the most effective techniques is hair transplantation. As you read on this blog, you will understand the causes of hair loss and also learn about the different techniques of hair transplantation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Causes of hair loss\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Alopecia areata:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly fights the hair follicles, leading to balding. This condition does not permanently damage hair, and it often regrows.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Traction Alopecia:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tight styles like braids, extensions and buns can lead to harsh hair pulling, which damages the hair follicles and eventually leads to hair thinning and permanent hair loss.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Medical condition: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conditions such as hormonal issues, thyroid problems, PCOS and scalp infections, just to mention a few, can potentially lead to balding.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Genetics:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A person is more likely to experience balding if their family has a strong history of balding as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Types of Hair Transplant\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>a.)Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a process that involves extracting individual hair follicles from a dense donor area. The doctor uses a micro punch to extract individual hair follicles, and then they are stored in a special solution to keep the hair healthy and viable. In preparation for planting, tiny incisions are made on the bald area, and afterwards, the grafts are inserted into the area. The processes are carefully done in order to come up with a more natural look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>b.)Follicular Unit Transplantation \/ Unit Transplantation (FUT)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this process, a thin strip of scalp with healthy hair is dissected from the donor, usually from the back, and implanted into follicular units. The technicians use stereo-microscopes to separate the strip into tiny hair follicles, then tiny incisions are made on the bald patch, and afterwards the dissected follicular units are placed into the incisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>c.)Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an advanced technique that uses a Choi implant pen to extract hair one by one and immediately implant it. Unlike Follicular unit extraction, where the hair is stored, this process does not require storage; rather, the hair follicles are loaded into the implant pen. The hair is simultaneously implanted into the scalp in a single motion, which brings out a more natural result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Conclusion\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair transplant has been saving many people who lost hope in restoring their hair.
