Hair transplant services are needed when there’s an excessive amount of hair loss that cannot be reversed using natural remedies. Hair loss can occur for a myriad of different reasons, and it can happen to both men and women. Hair loss can adversely affect one’s quality of life as it can cause one to look older and also develop low self-esteem.

Hair loss can develop because of a myriad of reasons, and they are:

Medical – Radiation therapy and chemotherapy can cause hair loss in patients, but they are immediately reversed once the treatment stops.

External factors – A traumatic experience, a period of extreme stress and serious illness can all contribute to sudden hair loss. For some women, this can also occur due to sudden hormonal changes from childbirth, postpartum and menopause.

Other factors – Hair loss can also occur from a diet lacking in vitamins and minerals, some endocrine disorders, the use of hormonal contraceptives and acute illnesses or severe infections like the coronavirus.

Types of Treatments Available

There are primarily two types of treatments available that are effective at treating hair loss in adults. Both methods have yielded high success rates in patients. Both Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) are recommended for treating hair loss, although each method has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Benefits of FUE

Generally, FUE will yield better results and will promote a higher growth rate of new hair with a success rate that’s greater than 90%. Another advantage is that the incisions range only from 0.7mm – 1 millimeter which can speed up the recovery process.

Patients are able to wash their hair normally after just 24 hours from when the procedure was performed, with no need to wait 7 days or longer like with other older methods of hair transplantation. FUE is also applicable for other parts of the body where hair loss has occurred, and some examples are the eyebrows, beards, and sideburns can all benefit from this procedure.

Benefits of DHI

Compared to FUE, DHI is a quicker procedure because it can complete two tasks within the same procedure. This also leads to a faster recovery time, and there’s no need to wait 7 days, unlike other older methods. Patients are also able to wash their hair within a day of the procedure. The recovery time is improved because of the implantation tool used, which makes very small incisions that range between 0.5 – 0.9 millimeters. The results speak for themselves as they create a more natural look with the surgeon being able to control the direction, depth and angle of your hair based on your preference.

It must be said that this procedure is only applicable to those with mild to moderate baldness, and it is not suitable for more severe cases of hair loss.
