Hair Transplant Glasgow

Beard hair transplant for men is commonly seen as a procedure a growing number of young males choose to undergo in order to keep up with the unshaved or bearded look that is currently in fashion. However, doctors reveal that even older men go through the procedure, since it can boost their confidence and make them appear more distinguished up and sophisticated.

Thankfully, in the past decade science has found ways to treat the condition or at least delay it. Hair restoration can be achieved with varying success with the use of drugs and with ?air Implants. These treatments deal with male pattern baldness in completely different ways. Therefore, if you are seeking treatment, you should be fully aware of what each of them can do for you and what the benefits and drawbacks for each are. There is a pill that lowers the amount of DHT on the scalp, if taken every day. The extent to which it affects men varies. In the majority of men, it stops hair loss and about 60% experience increase of hair growth. However, it causes sexual dysfunction in a large percentage of the men tacking it, but that tends to disappear when they stop using the drug. This also means a relapse in hair loss however, so it is not a permanent solution. A less aggressive hair loss treatment for men is Minoxidil. It is a solution applied directly to the scalp which slows the progression of hair falling out. Minoxidil does not affect DHT, which is responsible for hair loss and therefore its results are not permanent.

Follicular unit extraction is a new modification of standard follicular unit transplantation. The planting of follicular units into the recipient area is identical in both techniques and, thus, both offer transplant growth without “plugginess”. The difference is found in the method of harvesting the hair from the donor area. Instead of excising a strip of hair, suturing the area together, and then dissecting the follicular units underneath a microscope, the follicular units in the FUE method are removed from the scalp individually, one by one. Therefore, there is no wound to be stitched and there is no need for microscopes. The follicular units are removed by placing a 1 mm punch around a single follicular unit and cutting a small circle through the skin around that follicular unit. The follicular unit is then grasped and gently pulled away from the loose connective tissue surrounding it underneath the skin. Once it is removed, no further preparation is necessary. It is ready for implanting. The small hole left behind is left to heal in by itself which it does over one to two weeks. This process is repeated hundreds of times until the desired number of follicular units are obtained. Rather than having a white, linear scar as with standard follicular unit transplantation, the patient is left with numerous 1 mm round white scars. Proponents claim the advantage is less noticeable scarring and no tightness of the scalp (because no tissue has been brought together and sutured as in standard follicular unit transplantation).

Many people mistakenly think that this treatment is a tattoo, but this isn’t the case. It carries the same basis as permanent makeup, although different products are used to create the effects. Using a non toxic pigment, the treatment is applied straight to the scalp to mimic short hair strokes. Tiny pigment deposits are placed in the upper dermis of the scalp. Each one of these deposits will look like a shaven hair follicle. When you put lots of these deposits together, you’ll get the look of a shaved head of hair. It’s important you work with an experienced technician when it comes to a treatment like this. Make sure you take your time researching and reading reviews. Never go for a treatment based on price alone. This isn’t something you want to try to save money on.
