Hair transplantation as a means of treating hair loss has been about for a long time. Unfortunately, several clinics now still use methods that are out-of-date and can cause pain, scarring and less than respectable
results. This article highlights several of the hair transplant methods that you should avoid like the plague.
Round / square grafts - this is the innovational know-how
that leaves patients with a scalp that resembles that of a plastic doll. It involves taking a number of small
grafts with a hole-punch device and transplantation
to the affected area. The result is a pluggy look that makes not look natural and only becomes much ridiculous as time wears on.
Line grafts - this involves moving a short strip of donor hair from the side or back of the head, then transplantation
the entire strip into a trench that is surgically cut into the receiving area of the scalp. The end result is a line of hair that looks unnatural.
Flap technique - this procedure involves moving a flap of skin with its tissue, hair strands and follicles from the side or back of the head to the front hairline by cutting it on three sides and sewing it to the bald area.This can cause serious problems including excessive scarring, infection, disfigurement in the forehead area and hair growing in the wrong direction.
Scalp reduction - in this procedure the bald area at the crown is cut away and the edges encompassing the wound are force
together and stitched
at the middle. This technique causes many an problems including possibly
hideous scarring, accelerated hair loss and infection.
