Advances in hair transplant

A standard procedure of hair transplant involves the removal of hair from the donor area at the back of the head in terms of follicular unit grafts dissected under a microscope. It is then stored in saltwater baits and then sow baldness in the crown area of ​​the scalp.
Due to the nature of time and tedious procedure, a hair transplant surgeon is often able to transplant only about 500 to 600 follicular unit grafts per day. However, thanks to the recent hair transplant advances, it is often replaced by this method follicular unit extraction (FUE). Cost per graft of FUE is typically twice the cost of the standard follicular unit hair transplant procedure discussed above but it is relatively quick and minimally invasive.

Some progress hair transplant

FUE is a type in a round punch in a small area of ​​the donor directly extracting unit 1, 2, 3 and 4 follicular hair transplants. Follicular units usually referred extracted using this process as "Anatomy of the word" where it is a punch to the envelope complete follicular unit separating it from the surrounding soft tissue.

Is once separate follicular units base surrounding tissues, and is easily removed with tweezers. Leave small holes behind after the follicular unit extraction gradually heal over the next few days, and can not be detected with the naked eye once felt the patient develops. The healing time is much lower than in the mining sector donors procedure.

While the procedure adopted by most clinical FUE hair transplant, and the standard method of circumcision sector is still the hair transplant procedure the most popular because it is cheaper than the gallbladder.

In addition, due to some technical progress of modern hair transplantation such as the use of trichophytic closed, and now the scar created by the action of donors linear sector can not be detected in many cases, provide Circumcision almost to the naked eye. This has made progress in the technology of the gallbladder hair transplant procedure relatively less attractive.

Research hair transplant

In addition to hair transplant advances in the transplantation process and much research is currently hair cloning. If the search is successful hair transplant will be possible to make several copies of donor hair in the laboratory. I will use the application of this technology in the form of hair transplantation. In conventional procedures, reducing donor in bulk and often are not able to meet the required density. However, hair cloning promises to overcome this problem by obtaining the required amount of hair grown in the laboratory from a single donor hair and then implanted in the scalp.

Find cloning hair transplant is very difficult and there are many obstacles that must be overcome regarding the safety features and cosmetic hair cloning. And also provided some research breakthrough hair transplant for some drugs such as dutasteride hair loss.
