Hair Plugs

Good hair has often been considered as a sign of healthy body, but gone are the days when people used to have good hair even at the age of 70.  Moreover the signs of baldness are getting showed even among adults aged 25.

Increased pollution, bad food habits and even bad water in many cases are its main causes. Permanent hair restoration has been seen as the best solution for Male pattern baldness and the Female pattern baldness.

Hair plugs surgery Procedure:

Hair plugs have been one of the best permanent hair restoration solutions for the problem of male and female pattern baldness.

Technically the process involves removal of skin with live hair follicles from one part of the body( generally from the horseshoe shaped area in the back of the head ), which is called as the donor site to the  balding spot on the same person’s body part referred to as the recipient site.

The technique of hair plug surgery follows the rule that “If the skin tissue from one part of the body (donor site) is implanted to the other part (recipient site), then the recipient site inherits the characters of the donor site.”

This is the reason why the horse shoe shaped area in the back of the head, which is genetically programmed not to fall out is used as the donor site.

Important factors to consider:

It is always important to consult your doctor before undergoing the hair plug surgery.

Even though the success rate of the surgery is very high, absolutely reliable and can be completed in a few hours. One has to note that, at least a month is required for complete healing, during which period one might experience lot of headache. In case the surgery is not done for the whole forehead (for example it is done only in the fore front of the head) there is a chance that the hair in the region near the recipient site which has not undergone surgery might have an unusual hair loss due to the small wounds incurred near that area during the surgery. However the chances are very very rare.

Cost of hair plugs surgery:

The cost of the surgery varies from country to country, the total area for which grafting has to be done as well as the skill and reputation of the doctor or clinic. In countries such as USA or Canada the process may cost US$4 to US$ 10 at most of the clinics, but in some clinics it can even cost up to US$25. Countries in Middle East charge less and the cost can vary between US$3 to US$8.

But a best bargain is the south East Asian countries such as India where the charges vary from $US2 to at most US$6 at some of the best clinics in the country.

However, experts are of the opinion that the cost of hair plugs are definitely lesser than the total amount one spends on hair care products for protecting one’s hair and with the present technology, it looks almost natural and sometimes even better, hence it is definitely worth the cost.

There are many dry hair treatment techniques, however the effectiveness of each would depend on your hair and scalp type. You can find here some of the common types and problems of dry damaged hair and a possible solution for the same.

Dry hair is the condition of the hair where the hair and the scalp are depleted of normally required moisture or oil content. Generally even though you do not apply hair oil manually, the scalp self generates it. However there can be cases due to genetic or other reasons which prevents this from happening.

Causes of dry hair :

• Dry Environment : In areas where the humidity is very less, it is often that you find your hair become dry, perhaps this happening excessively, with you failing to wear a cap etc can lead it to be a permanent condition.

• Excessive washing of the hair : It is always advised to allow some moisture while washing your hair. Excessive washing is a major reason for the dryness of the hair. These days with excessive usage of shampoo and people reluctant to apply oil before bath, this has been a very common case now a days.

• Malnutrition : The scalp generally self generates the required oil, however in case there is malnutrition of proteins and other essential vitamins, this could happen.

• Hypoparathyroidism: It is a condition where the parathyroid gland of the human body falls below normal. This often leads to reduction in calcium and increase in the level of phosphorous in our blood cells. This can lead to dry hair or dry body moisture.

• hypothyroidism : Is a condition where the thyroid gland falls below normal. This not only leads to dry hair but may eventually cause thinning of hair and hair fall.

Now with the causes being known you can understand the dry hair treatment in a better way.

Dry hair treatment :

• Avoid excessive shampooing : Excessive shampooing is not a great idea, particularly in case you have a very dry hair already. Better idea would be to apply hair oil and then wash after about an hour or so. However it is important to leave some moisture while washing. Shampooing only 2 or 3 times a day is also a great idea.

• Apply hair conditioners: In case you feel you have no moisture left in the hair after having a bath, applying a conditioner is better. Leave the conditioner for 2-3 minutes and then rinse your hair. The type of shampoos and conditioner can also be chosen according to your requirements.( eg for dry hair etc).

• Avoid dry environments: Try using a cap to protect your hair from direct contact with the sun. In dry environments, even the winds can deplete your hair’s moisture. Activities like swimming also could lead to dry hair in case the water has high chlorine levels.

• Natural remedies : They include applying of hot coconut, olive oil etc or applying fruit extracts, aloevera. Even proper food and hygene matters. Always try to take the best food possible, protiens are the most essential one’s to your hair.

The cost of hair plug surgery depends on the total area where grafting has to be done.  As is in the case of most of the cosmetic surgeries, the costs of Hair plugs are quite high and sometimes even unaffordable to common man. The cost also depends on the region and the quality of the clinic or the doctor.  Here are some figures which might interest you.

Hair plugs surgery cost in USA       : 4$ to 8$ per graft. *

Hair plugs surgery cost in Canada  : 3.5$ to 6$ per graft. *

Hair plugs surgery cost in UK          : £ 2.5 to £ 4.5 per graft. *

Hair plugs surgery cost in (Eastern European countries)   : 1.5$ to 4$per graft. *

Hair plugs surgery cost in Australia and New Zealand        : 4$ to 7$ per graft.*

Hair plugs surgery cost in India, China, Malaysia etc (South Asian countries): 1.25$ to 3.5$ per graft.*

Hair plugs surgery cost in Dubai:  The costs here are highly variable, There are clinics which charge just 1$ per graft and also some high profile clinics like Alvi Armani whose charges start from 6$ up to 20$ for VIP patients.

* Note: All the above figures specify only the mid 80% range of the prices. The lower and higher 10% may be highly variable.

The charges per graft also varies according to the number of grafts, for example a clinic might charge 4$ per graft for the first 2000 grafts and 3$ henceforth.  Since the cost is dependent on the geographical region so a 3$ per graft charging clinic in Ukraine might give you a far more better implant than the 4$ per graft charging clinic in USA and the trip to Ukraine a bonus (Many clinics provide staying facility)

Well, I assume that you have got a fair enough idea after seeing these figures.  I would not advice you to undergo the surgery at the lower end prices because once the surgery is undergone then in case the surgery turns out to be unsuccessful it would be difficult to do the surgery again in the same hair region. More over the output is proportional to the input most of the times. Since this is a cosmetic surgery we cannot claim medical insurance.  So while deciding on the plans choose wisely a best bet would be the one which is affordable and also give you a natural look.
