Treat Permanent Hair Loss
Hair Implants Mexico
It’s easy to blame hair loss on that beloved baseball cap or your grandfather’s genes, but according to hair loss experts, the notion that these factors cause balding are nothing more than old wives’ tales. Male pattern balding is unpredictable for the most part, but experts attribute it to a combination of aging, hormonal changes, and family history. Hair loss can also result from a burn injury or other trauma to the scalp. Hair implants treat permanent hair loss using grafting techniques. Micro implants are safe, effective, and long-lasting.

Hair Implant Candidates
Suitable candidates for hair implants must have sections of sufficient hair-bearing scalp that can be used as donor sites. Candidates include men with male-pattern baldness, some women with thinning hair, and individuals who have lost some - but not all - of their hair as a result of a burn injury. To ensure the greatest results, candidates should review their expectations of the surgery with their physician prior to the procedure. Realistic expectations and clearly identified needs and goals lead to the best outcome.
The Hair Implant Procedure
After an anesthetic has been administered, the surgeon removes a portion of the hair-bearing scalp and carefully separates it into small segments. The segments hold very few hairs – typically between one and two per strip. The surgeon then places the strips in strategic positions; special care is taken to ensure that the hair will grow in a natural direction. The donor site is closed with stitches, which are usually concealed within the hair. The scalp is cleaned and covered with gauze or a pressure bandage. The doctor will remove the stitches about 10 days later.
Several sessions may be necessary to achieve the patient’s desired look. This depends on the area that is balding, the type and thickness of the hair, and the desired density. The surgeon may suggest a healing period of several months in between sessions.
Patients may find that the transplanted hair falls out within a few weeks; this is normal and temporary. Hair growth should resume shortly and continue to grow at about a half-inch per month.

Benefits and Risks of Hair Implants
Hair implants are beneficial because they treat permanent baldness safely and effectively. They can replace hair that falls out because of diet, stress, illness, or medications. Patients usually feel more self-confident with a fuller head of hair. Because scarring is hidden within the hair, it is rarely visible. The surgery itself is performed on an outpatient basis, and patients are usually up and about, engaging in normal activities, within a day or two after the procedure.
The risk of hair implants is typically low when they are placed by a qualified surgeon with plenty of experience. However, it’s important for potential hair implant candidates to know that there is a risk of infection, excessive bleeding, scarring, decreased sensation, or patchiness. There is also a possibility that the hair implants will not establish re-growth in the new location. If you have concerns about hair implants, discuss them with your surgeon during your personal consultation.
