Are hair transplants permanent ?
Yes, hair transplantation is permanent. Even the baldest man still
has some residual hair at the back of his head. These hairs are
permanent. This is why we use these hairs in transplantation.
Hair loss in men
Male pattern baldness is hereditary.
It causes hair loss in a predictable pattern. The frontal
hair recedes creating a higher forehead while a hole appears
at the back of the head. Some men will only lose hair in
one area. Hair loss begins at puberty. It is impossible
to predict how rapidly the hair will fall out, although
the more hair you have lost at a young age; the more likely
you are to have severe hair loss. Male pattern baldness
is caused by a combination of hormones and balding genes.
Bald men have hair that is genetically more susceptible
to dihydro-testosterone, a hormone produced by a skin enzyme
from natural testosterone. These baldness genes are inherited
froIm both parents. There is variable expression of the
gene so that not all children will be equally bald. These
genes can even skip a generation. If you have any bald family
members, you carry the gene for hair loss and you may eventually
lose your hair. Your baldness will be somewhere between
the most bald and the least bald member of your family.
For unknown reasons, the hair at the back of the head resists
the effects of dihydro-testosterone. The resistance of these
hairs is the basis of hair transplantation. Hairs at the
back of the head, the crown, will not fall out over time.
They can be transplanted to bald regions and they will continue
to grow.
