Some of it is self inflicted hair loss, some is hereditary and some from medicine and environment. If you or someone you know has observed an unusual or unexpected hair loss, then the first step is to calm down and go through the list of possible causes. Then seek the remedy accordingly. Most common causes of hair loss in women are as following:

1. Hereditary causes:

   as in men heredity plays a major role in women as well. Almost 50% of hair loss in women is due to hereditary reasons. Find out if your mother, aunt or other close relatives have history of hair loss. If looked carefully and under magnification the size of the hair shafts and follicles will be different.

2. Self inflicted:

   1. Tight hair bands cause hair loss.
   2. Some hair colors and bleaches.
   3. Aggressive hair drying with extra heat.
   4. Curling irons as a cause of hair loss
   5. Hair loss due to improper diet.

3. Medical causes:

   1. Hair loss in Hypothyroidism
   2. Excessive weight loss as a cause of hair loss
   3. Skin disorders like psoriasis and dermatitis
   4. Some autoimmune diseases can also cause hair loss in women.

After going through the list of causes, you may be able to identify the reason or reasons for your hair loss. If not sure then you must consult a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon to find out what is causing your hair loss. You may need a few blood tests.

Many a times an easily treatable cause can be found. The ultimate remedy is hair transplantation if the hair loss in women is possible if it is limited and patchy in nature.

A hair transplant is one of the most efficient ways to remove the natural balding. With the help of modern developments, this technique offers amazing output. But the most important factor is the economic factor, as anyone who is interested in this technique, will be curious to know how much it will cost him. In recent years hair transplants quality and results are improved dramatically but the cost of treatment is decreased. Hair transplant cost can be determined and it depends upon different factors.

Following steps will help you to calculate/estimate your hair treatment cost.

I. Measure
First of all and most obvious of all, you have to consider the area of your scalp that has balding. Hair transplants are charged per square centimeter. So it means that you will have to pay a base price for every square centimeter of hair that is needed to be transplanted. The range of base price is $120-$450 per square cm or $5 to $10 per graft. To measure use erasable marker and carefully outline the area that is to be hair transplanted i-e baldness, then divide this area into square centimeters using a ruler.

II. Determine Price Per Square C or per GraftM
Now the 2nd step is that you will have to find out either by online or by contacting a few hair transplant surgeons that how much you will be paying per square centimeter or per graft. You should search at least 4 different surgeons’ prices to get the most affordable price.

III. Multiply
Once you have calculated how much you will be paying per sq. cm. The next step is simple maths, which is multiply the amount of sq. cm. of hair transplantation by the most affordable base price you found in the research.
So basically someone who needs 25 sq. cm of hair transplantation who found a base price of $150 per cm. sq. would pay $3750 for the procedure.

IV. Schedule A Consultation
To officially confirm your hair transplant cost, get an appointment with a hair transplant specialist you choose for the treatment. Most of the specialists offer free consultations to their potential patients. Such a specialist will analyze the balding area and will provide you an estimate of how much it will cost to fill in the affected area

V. Payment Plans
If the total cost of your hair transplant is out of your estimated amount or the budget, you can consider paying for your transplant through a specific payment plan. Often times this plan is offered through 0% financing for a certain period of time.

VI. Consider Maintenance
Apart from the estimated hair transplant cost or the original transplant cost, you will also need to consider the maintenance of your hair transplant as the transplanted hairs requires some special care. A patient will have to consider additional hair transplant sessions. The cost of such maintenance will add up to approximately $1.5 thousand per month.
In the end I would like you to consider a fact that in the long term hair transplant can be more affordable than other treatment options, i-e with the help of modern and cheap treatment of haor transplant, we can say that many who spend money on different hair growing treatments etc, they do spend more than a hair transplant procedure may cost.

Scalp Reduction and Scalp Extension

Scalp Reduction Surgery and Scalp Extension Surgery

In selected cases, one of the options is to surgically remove the hairless, crown area. The hair bearing scalp, stretches and covers the defect. Thus in one, or two procedures a significant area can be covered. Scalp reduction can be combined with scalp extension, where an extender is used to pull the scalp in the midline. The extender is inserted at the time of first reduction and removed with the second scalp reduction.

The procedure is effective and expeditious, but the resulting scar is a drawback, which is not so visible when the hair is dry, but with wet hair, it is obvious. It is a good procedure for Norwood class 6 patients, who are looking for a fuller head.

The procedure is performed at Dubai Hair Clinic in Dubai and Pakistan.

The growth and shedding of each hair happens in cycle. Hair grows rests and then falls out. This process repeats yearly. Ninety percent of a person’s scalp hair is growing and this phase lasts for almost six years while the rest ten percent hair is resting and resting stage lasts for almost three months. This resting phase ends in the shedding of hair. Normal hair shedding is fifty to hundred hairs per day. After the shedding of hair the other hair replaces it. It is normal to shed about fifty hairs a day but losing a large amount of hair is the indication of a serious problem.

Symptoms or signs of hair loss

Thinning
Thinning hair is a common symptom of hair loss. Lack of blood flow, stress or reaction to some medication are some causes of thinning.

Missing patches
Sometimes hairs shed from certain spots and create patches of missing hairs.

Shedding
Hairs that are constantly shedding even without touching, combing and brushing is a serious symptom of hair loss. Child birth, lack of diet nutrients and poor blood circulation to the scalp are its causes.

Causes of hair loss

Genetics
Genetics is one of the most frequent causes of hair loss or baldness. A history of paternal or maternal baldness increases the risk of baldness.

Deficiency of protein
Deficiency of protein causes hair loss and unhealthy hair. Protein in every day diet is very much essential for growth of healthy hair. Everyone should include a proper amount of protein for normal hair growth. Meat, fish, chicken, eggs, grains, nuts and dried beans are a good source of protein.

Child birth
Child birth is also a cause of hair loss. During pregnancy the hairs grow normally but after child birth many hair enter in the process of resting and ending in shedding of hair. The hairs in resting process fall with in three months after delivery.

Major surgery or high fever
Different medical conditions like major surgery, infection or high fever also contribute to hair loss. Many people experience hair loss after high fever, serious infection and some kind of major surgery. Excessive stress is also a significant reason. These conditions correct after some days but in some cases treatment is also needed.

Cancer treatment
Cancer treatment drugs also cause hair loss because most of the cancer treating drugs stop hair cells from dividing. In some cases the patient loses all hair but the hairs regrow soon after stopping the treatment.

Other causes
Iron deficiency, birth control pills, medication and thyroid disease can also cause hair loss.

One of the most modern methods of hair restorations methods is FEU hair transplants. You should take advantage of this method. You may not know the meanings of FEU. For your, information FEU stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. When you compare this method with the older traditional methods, you come to know that it provides better cosmetic results. In the older methods, hair transplant were through punch graft and strip incision transplants. Now through FUE method, the problem of scarring is lesser.

Once you take decision of having hair transplant, you should know about it. We call the area as donor, from where the hair is taken. When we talk about the older methods, we come to know entire strip of skin was cut from back of the head. When skin is removed from the head, it leaves a big scar. As a result, even with the successful hair transplant, you could not have short haircuts. There were also chances that the scar could grow even bigger and bring disgraceful feature to your head.

A question may come to your mind that why to select FUE? Following are the reasons:

Through this method, scars are almost invisible.
The people with very little donor hair can have this method. It is suitable for them.
If you have a tight scalp, this method is ideal for you.
FUE is the only way if you want to cut your hair short after the procedure.
This method gives the shorter healing time then the others.
When you decide to have FUE hair transplant, you should consult a qualified experienced surgeon. He will check your suitability for the procedure. Availability of donor area and density of donor hair is checked so that affectivity of procedure is calculated. Hair transplant can be done in either way but the coverage you are going to get becomes doubtful.

This is a modern type of technique in which tiny follicular units of hair are removed and directly transplanted into the scalp. There is no need to cut the strip of skin of the donor area. This method also leaves scars on your skin but these scars are so tiny that you would need a magnifying glass to see them.

FUE has made all the older methods obsolete because it has proven itself successful. Through this procedure, more than 8000 hairs can be transplanted in a single session. The price range is about $3-$8 per hair graft. This procedure looks expensive but you permanently get rid of the hair loss problem.

The first thing that people want to know is that what is hair transplant? The idea of hair transplant is not very old. The hair transplant was started few decades ago. In simple words hair transplant is a procedure in which active hair follicles containing skin is shifted to the bald area.

There are many questions arisen about the hair transplant and hair restoration procedure. Among all these questions, one is regarding the cost of the surgery. People want to know whether they can afford the surgery or not. That is why they want to know the cost before deciding to have the procedure. There is no need to wonder that while browsing the internet for the hair transplant information, people have their first look on the cost of the surgery. During research, people also compare the prices of different clinics. At the end, they can easily select the most affording clinic for them. They can also know which clinic provides the most effective and less expensive procedure.

The other question that comes to our mind is whether the treatment is effective or not. People only pay for something that is worth the price. Nobody wants to waste his money on something that is not effective. If they know that they are spending their money on the procedure that is not even giving the result, they will never go for that. That is why people make researches. They want to make their best choice while making decision of the surgery. They want to know if this is the solution to their problems. People will not undergo the procedure without knowing the results of the surgery. Therefore, reliability is the main concern of the people. Depending upon the expertise and experience of the surgeon, you can get 85% to 90% success from the procedure

An interesting fact emerged during my conversation with him. “I am tired and sick of hanging upside down every day” he exclaimed. But why do you have to do that? I asked. He said, that some hair loss guru has advised him to do that to improve blood circulation in his head which will in turn make his hair grow again.

His hair did not grow; however, I was intrigued with the extent of his commitment to grow his hair at any cost. Another gentleman told me that he was instructed to rub his head with rough objects till his skin bled and he kept doing that till his scalp became so tender and painful that he could not do it any longer. His hair did not grow either.

Hair loss, particularly at a younger age is devastating to the psyche of a male. One looks much older than the actual age with hair loss. A full head of hair is youthful and manly, while baldness is equated with aging. Although recently some in the west shave their heads as a show of style, a great majority still cherish having a full head of hair.

Hair transplantation has been in existence for decades, the reason it was not popular previously was because of the technique. The older method of “Plug grafts” did not have the natural look of a normal hair. The hair were taken from the back of the head with a punch and then transplanted in the front. The punches were rather wide and the transplanted hair looked like bushes or gave the so called “Barbie doll” appearance.

It all changed with the advent of the modern technique of micro and mini grafts and the way they are harvested from the back of the head. The hair transplant surgeons began to take a strip of hair bearing skin from the back of the head and then divided that strip into very small grafts which were named as “micro” if they comprised of one or two hair in each graft, or “micro” if they had three to five hair in each graft.

The micro grafts are placed at the front, at the hairline and the mini grafts are placed at the top of the head and behind the hairline. This advanced technique for the first time gave a true natural look to the hairline, virtually indistinguishable from a normal hairline. This one step changed the whole concept of hair restoration.

The new technique became popular in America and Europe in the late eighties ad early nineties, however the rest of the World is catching up with it now. According to a 2006 statistics, 226,000 hair transplant procedures were performed that year, an increase of 34% from the previous year. As more and more people learn about the advantages of hair transplantation and the easy nature of the procedure, they are opting to go ahead with hair transplantation. An increase of 16% is noted every year Worldwide, fastest increase is in the Asian countries with an impressive 178% every year.

The acceptance of hair transplantation as a safe, effective and consistent procedure has been enhanced further by the “follicular unit” concept. If you look at the scalp carefully, preferably with a magnifying glass, you will notice that some hairs are in groups or clusters of four or five hair. This cluster is known as a “follicular unit”, and if taken together gives a better density and improved looks.

A good hair transplant team will carefully prepare grafts and make sure the follicular units are preserved. I have used the word, “team” instead of a hair transplant surgeon, because hair transplantation is a team approach and requires highly trained surgeons, nurses and technicians for a successful procedure.

Compared to other cosmetic surgeries hair transplantation is relatively easy, however the finesse and good results are not achieved without knowing the details and intricacies of the procedure. Although it is performed under local anesthesia and a small space is enough, it still requires the skill of a surgeon and sterility techniques of a modern day hospital.
It is to be noted here that with improper sterilization it is possible to catch the dreadful Hepatitis B and C or AIDS. For this reason many good centers use disposable instruments. There are many small details to achieve a great result. Many hair transplant centers have popped up with the increasing demand; however it is prudent for a potential candidate to search thoroughly before undergoing the procedure.

I have noted that many patients intending to have hair transplants are shopping for a price. Well, again it is part of the home work one has to do. Obviously, it is not necessary to pay an exorbitant fee to so called “celebrity surgeons”, because they are essentially performing the same procedure as another well trained surgeon. One has to be cautious of the dubious clinics being run inside the houses or rundown buildings without proper sterilization techniques and non qualified performers.
One has to remember that the donor site, which is the back of the head, has a limited supply of available grafts and if a procedure is not performed properly, then the lost hair cannot be replaced. So, it is worth doing the due diligence of finding the right surgeon and clinic to get the best outcome.

The popularity of hair transplantation will continue to rise in the foreseeable future as it restores the confidence and looks of the patients who experience hair loss. Surprisingly a rising trend has been noted in women as well who have limited areas of hair loss. And last but not the least are the areas other than the head like eyebrows, burnt scalp and even eyelashes which are transplanted to give a better look.

Hair transplantation is not a medical breakthrough like a great cure for a major human malady, but a definite boost to the confidence and well being of those who suffer from hair loss.

Article by Dr. Farhat Bokhari (www.cosmeticsurgerypakistan.com)

In this way the actual roots of the hair are transferred and singly or in clusters or 2 or 5 hair small amount of skin.
The roots establish themselves in their new location and start to grow in 3-4 months and then continue to grow at the rate of about 1/2 an inch a month.

These hairs are patient’s own natural hair requiring no maintenance other than hair cut and shampoo.

Transplanted hair, with the modern technique of micro and mini grafts are virtually indistinguishable from natural hair.

This is the most natural method of having hair growing in previously bald areas. Since they are one’s own natural and growing hair, one can engage in all the activities even swimming which is not possible with hairpieces or wigs.

Selection of the patient for hair transplant mainly depends upon the availability of desire and large quantity of hair is the back of the head. It also depends upon the bald area, which needs to be covered. Most of the area can be improved their looks by strategic planning and careful hair transplantation by an experienced surgeon.

Hair transplantation can be done at any adult age; of course there is a selection criteria other than the age. I have performed hair transplantation in patients from 20 years of age to 65 years of age.
Procedure can be performed in a clinic or a hospital. It does require a team of dedicated hair transplant stay though the procedure can last from 4-6 hours.

Hair transplantation is a minimum risk surgery. Some of the side effects e.g. swelling around the eyes, numbness in the scalp region are self-limiting.
Scarring both in the donor and recipient area is uncommon. Some times the existing hair can fall off from the surgical trauma, they grow problem like ingrown hair etc are easily taken care of.

Can hair transplantation be used to cover a completely baldhead?
Completely baldhead is a relative term. Most depends upon the availability of the hair at the back of the head. If good quality donor hairs are available then some hair transplantation even in a completely baldhead can be done, usually in the front area, creating a hair line, so that in a face to face situation the person does not look complete bald.
The cost of the procedure can vary from Dhs 10,000 to Dhs 14,000 depending upon the number of grafts required.

Non-surgical treatments to stimulate hair growth are not very successful. At best some of the medication can slow down hair but not stimulate new hair growth. In terms of nutrition a balanced diet, and regular vitamins supplements should be helpful in maintaining healthy hair, but there is no scientific clinical data, substantiating any non-surgical method of correcting hair loss.

I have been performing hair transplantation since 1994 previously in the United States and now since the last 3 years in the Middle East. Most of my patients are in the age group between 25 yrs and 40 yrs, but I have treated even younger and older patients.

Hair loss in men is the most common cosmetic problem and it makes them look older than their age. This is the main reason for hair transplantation. Most of my patients in the middle east are Arabs and Asians and they came to Dubai from the whole middle east including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait , Qatar etc.
