Explanation
Hair loss and baldness
Hair loss and baldness are phenomena that will affect 75% of men and 25% of women. When it is early, hair loss can be unpleasant. It will of course be necessary to diagnose that this loss is of the androgenetic type to the exclusion of other causes such as stress, hair diseases, trauma, etc.
Androgenetic baldness is the acceleration of the hair cycle which causes hair to fall out too early. The phenomenon is well known even if its causes are not yet fully explained. Genetic influence is important, a father or grandfather who lost his hair early is an obvious indication.
Baldness is measured using different clearly identified stages during which hair transplant sessions may be indicated.
Hair transplantation is the only method to treat baldness. PRP-type techniques or medications can effectively slow down hair loss but in no way regrow fallen hair.
Explanation
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant
FUE transplantation is the hair transplantation technique now used almost exclusively except when contraindications require it such as frizzy hair.
Its numerous advantages have made it the reference technique:
- No pain.
- No scars.
- Very good density.
- Very natural results.
FUE hair transplantation is easily adapted to the patient’s request according to their wish for restoration. It is the only technique that allows up to several thousand hairs to be implanted in one session. The FUE technique ensures reliable and rapid regrowth and perfectly natural results.
Explanation
Principle of the FUE hair implant technique
The principle of the intervention consists of taking hair from the hippocratic crown at the back of the skull to replant them forward on the balding areas.
The Hippocratic crown of hair is not affected by the fall. It is genetically preserved whatever the stage of baldness. Due to their location, if we replant these hairs in other places on the skull, they no longer fall out. It is therefore from this donor area that hair transplantation on balding areas is envisaged. The FUE transplant has improved considerably in recent years. The miniaturization of operating instruments allows extremely precise intervention.
The FUE transplant is based on follicular units. A follicular unit is made up of 1 to 3 hairs, which gives the density of the hair. The FUE transplant allows follicular units to be re-implanted one by one from the back of the skull towards the areas to be replenished: forelock, tonsure, gulfs, frontal line, etc.
Using a micro punch (a mini motorized sampling device measuring less than a millimeter in diameter), the surgeon takes hair from the donor area while preserving its density. The collected hair becomes grafts which are preserved in an enriched solution before being sorted manually in order to be re-implanted. The reimplantation of the grafts on the bald areas is done using a micro forceps hair by hair while preserving each follicular unit. A micro incision allows the follicular unit to be grafted very precisely.
Explanation
Know-how and talent of the surgeon
Hair transplantation is not accessible to just any surgeon. This one must be a specialist because the work is extremely fine. It must also be experienced to master both the extraction procedure to preserve the grafts and especially the implantation procedure so that the direction of regrowth is natural and conforms to the characteristics of the patient’s hair. The implantation and mixing of the follicular units will create an effect of hair density which will make the graft perfectly undetectable. These are the keys to a successful transplant.
Given the thoroughness and precision of the work, an FUE hair transplant session is a long job that will last several hours and sometimes the entire day. This is proof of the seriousness, involvement and professionalism of the surgeon and his team. There are automated operating aids which can increase the speed of the procedure but unfortunately these do not guarantee good preservation of the extracted grafts. When it comes to hair implants, nothing replaces the surgeon’s action.
Everything is planned for your comfort so that the session is as pleasant as possible. The procedure is not painful, it is carried out under simple local anesthesia. The FUE grafting technique leaves no scars.
Explanation
Progress of your FUE hair transplant
Consultation
Doctor Laurent Dumas receives you for a consultation to establish the transplant diagnosis based on a personalized hair assessment during which the hair capacity of your donor area and the possibility of additional analyzes will be explored. A blood test is prescribed before any hair transplant, checking the absence of contraindications, for a procedure carried out under local anesthesia.
He will present the procedure to you in detail and give you all the pre-operative instructions. A quote and informed consent are established and signed, leading to a mandatory 15-day reflection period.
Before the intervention
Preoperative photographs are taken. An antibiotic shampoo will have been applied the morning of the procedure.
Progress of the intervention
It is performed under local anesthesia. Doctor Dumas precisely identifies the areas to be implanted and then proceeds to collect the grafts, up to several thousand hairs. This phase lasts approximately one to two hours.
The harvested implants are sorted and prepared for reimplantation. The reimplantation phase lasts between 3 and 4 hours depending on the number of follicular units.
After the intervention
The sequels are very light. There is no bandage. A post-operative consultation is planned 2 to 3 days after the operation.
Rarely, edema in the grafted area may appear 24 to 48 hours later, but it disappears after 3 to 4 days.
The micro hair collection points from the donor area at the back of the head heal in 2 or 3 days.
Micro scabs will form at the graft implantation points. They will fall off after a week. Some implanted hair will fall out with it, which is perfectly normal. The implanted sebaceous hair follicle remains firmly in place, allowing the transplanted hair to grow back from the 3rd month onwards at a typical growth rate of 1 cm per month.
Post-operative consultations make it possible to monitor the smooth progress of this process. The final result of your transplant can be assessed from 6 months after the operation.
Should you shave your hair?
For a large FUE transplant session with a lot of density required or a large reimplantation area, shaving of the hair is mandatory to allow extensive harvesting and placement of the grafts.
For more limited interventions, shaving is not necessary. Only the donor area is shaved, which can easily be camouflaged by long hair. The extraction of follicles is therefore more circumscribed and the reimplantation concerns more limited areas.
The cost
Hair transplantation requires an on-site quote during the consultation. The cost of implanting a graft is between 3 euros and 3.50 euros.
