Hair Transplantation

For a long time, alopecia (baldness, baldness) was considered an almost incurable disease. But in 1960, cosmetic surgeon Norman Orentreich from New York formulated the concept of donor dominance, which became the basic principle for combating baldness.
He proved that the hair of the occipital and temporal parts of the head (donor zones) has the highest genetic resistance and resistance to negative hormonal effects, which by 90% determines hair loss. When transplanting hair into the recipient (receiving) zone, it is this “strong” vegetation in the form of grafts - pieces of skin 1-4 mm thick with hair roots in the bulbs that do not lose their qualities, take root, and remain for life.
hair transplant for menLater, in the late 90s, the concept of Orentreich was supplemented by another important discovery. It turned out that, along with the laborious procedure of cutting grafts, it is possible to extract the follicular groups from the donor zones. Follicular groups are natural microbundles that contain from 1 to 5 hair roots in each bulb. Such groups have become the main transplant, which is transplanted into areas of baldness, like tubers of flowers in flower beds.
With the implementation of these ideas, the world industry of creating new hairstyles of people through the transplantation of their own hair has earned a full turn. And in 1996, such an operation was first performed in Russia by specialists of our clinic.Modern Hair Transplant Options›New methods, tools, equipment today allow surgeons not only to eliminate bald patches of almost any size, but also to increase the mustache, beard, whiskers for men, and create elegant eyebrows for women. Moreover, both the high density of the hairline (from 100 to 150 per sq. Cm, or up to 85% of the natural) is restored, as well as its slope, growth angle, and even “curly hair”. In addition to creating hairstyles, transplantation helps mask the effects of cicatricial alopecia on the face - injuries, burns, injuries;
grafts for hair transplantation›At any stages of alopecia, transplantation is carried out painlessly and comfortably, on an outpatient basis, most often - in one go. If necessary (large areas of baldness) they are performed twice. Up to 5,000 grafts can be implanted at a time. It is impossible to distinguish acquired vegetation from “native” (at least, when our surgeons work).
Contraindications›Transplantation is contraindicated in diabetes mellitus, arterial hypotension, cancer, some diseases of the scalp, specific mental disorders (trichotillomania, dysmorphophobia);
›Hair transplantation is not recommended for patients under 17 years of age, when the hormonal background is not yet stable. And also after 70, when the recovery processes in the body slow down, and graft survival cannot be guaranteed.
