If you start to experience (excessive) hair loss, you could consider a hair transplant. However, there is a lot to consider if you are considering a hair transplant. That is why I have listed frequently asked questions about hair transplantation.
A question that often comes up is what the age limit is for a hair transplant. Roughly speaking, people between the ages of 23 and 65 are eligible for a hair transplant. Hair loss and hair loss start from the twentieth year, in many cases until the 35 th year. But you don't have to wait until you're completely bald. If a bald spot develops, a hair transplant can already be used. The big advantage is that the hairs that have been implanted will not fall out.
Another frequently asked question is whether gender still matters for the result of a hair implant. It is indeed true that better results are achieved in men for the simple reason that in most cases men have faster and also better blood circulation in the scalp. In addition, men have thicker hair follicles and hair than women. The success rate of an implantation in men is therefore a lot higher. The hair follicles of women are therefore thinner and usually consist of only 1 to 2 hairs compared to 1 to 4 hairs in men.
The term 'Hair shock loss' is regularly used when it comes to hair implantation. Hair shock loss can occur after a hair transplant. The cause of this is a traumatic reaction of the skin and the anesthetic fluid. In almost all cases, this phenomenon is temporary and the hair simply grows back in the place that was implanted. If that is not the case, it is possible to have the procedure performed again after a year.
It is better not to have a hair transplant for heart patients. Besides the fact that adrenaline is used during the procedure to accelerate blood circulation and numb the scalp, the chance of clotting also increases. This procedure can be dangerous, especially for people who suffer from cardiac arrhythmias. It is therefore not medically justified for this group of patients to undergo a hair transplant.
In principle, hair implantation in diabetic patients is possible, but there are drawbacks. People with diabetes are more prone to hair loss. The blood flow to the scalp is less in this group and the wound also heals less well, with the result that the implanted hairs will grow less well. In normal cases, about 85 to 90 percent of the implanted hair grows. In people with diabetes this is 50 to 60 percent. That is considerably less. But you can learn more about this during an intake interview with the executive doctor.
