Frequently asked questions
Is hair transplant safe?
With today's sophisticated methods, such as Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant & Implanter pen, hair transplantation is a relatively simple, safe treatment that takes only a few hours to complete and yields results that last a lifetime. However, in order to select the best patient for a hair transplant, it is crucial that it be carried out by qualified medical professionals adhering to stringent guidelines like pre-screening and medical testing.
Which doctor performs hair transplant?
Currently, hair transplant treatments are being performed in India by homeopathic, dentist, ayurvedic, and even gynecological specialists without the necessary qualifications. All operations at La Esthetiques are completed from beginning to end by highly skilled surgeons who are registered with MCI.
Are the doctors trained & certified?
No medical college in the world offers instruction in hair transplantation. Without the necessary education, testing, or certification, doctors pick it up from other doctors while working, jeopardizing patient safety. Every physician at La Esthetiques has received thorough training in accordance with international standards for hair restoration.
How can you measure the results?
By using a computerized alopecia test, which most clinics do not use or are aware of, results can be measured with an exact hair count. Studies reveal that, on average, in clinics without conclusive outcomes, just one out of every two implanted follicles grows. A third of patients seek repair after other clinics have ruined their case.
What are the importance of diagnosis & alopecia test?
Alopecia comes in various forms, and one may be afflicted with any of them. An accurate diagnosis is the first step towards a good treatment plan for alopecia. Sadly, the majority of facilities do hair transplants without a correct diagnosis. Alopecia is diagnosed by a dermatological examination, a computerized alopecia test, psychological factors, and an exact mathematical count of the donor and recipient areas. This produces the finest results for the hair loss issue and a thorough lifetime treatment strategy.
Factors to choose hair transplant clinic?
The most important things to consider are: where the doctor received their training in hair transplantation; does the clinic adhere to safety regulations; will the procedure be performed by a doctor exclusively, or by a technician using the doctor's name alone; and are they displayed in clinics. What tools are utilized, and is there proof that they are destroyed at the end of each procedure? Is there evidence of the clinic's own validity and can you speak with ten or more people regarding their experiences using this clinic? Cost is a significant consideration, but it must be at the expense of natural outcomes and safety.
What are growth cycles of hair?
There are three phases in the hair growth cycle:
Anagen: A hair follicle's developing phase, which usually lasts three to five years.
Catagen: Hair follicles ready themselves for the resting phase at the close of the growth phase. Typically, this phase of the hair growth cycle lasts between one and two weeks.
Telogen: A hair follicle goes through this stage of rest. It lasts for three to four months on average, during which time younger hairs start to grow and older ones that have reached the end of their lives fall out.
Causes of hair loss in men?
Male pattern hair loss, often known as "common" baldness or "androgenetic alopecia," is by far the most frequent cause of hair loss in males. The male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) acts on genetically vulnerable scalp hair follicles, causing them to shrink and finally vanish. This is the cause of androgenic alopecia. We refer to this process as "miniaturization." Additional factors may include high temperature, injuries, poor diet, stress, infection on the scalp, and hormone imbalance.
What are different types of Alopecia?
There are two main categories of alopecia: non-scarring alopecia and scarring alopecia.
Types of Alopecia without Scarring:
Alopecia Areata, or AGA Trichotillomania, Anagen Effluvium, and Telogen Effluvium
Alopecia with Scarring Types:
Planopilaris Lichen, Alopecia frontal fibrosing, Brocq pseudopaladae, Alopecia muconosis, tufted folliculitis, dissecting cellulitis, folliculitis keloidalis, central centrifugal alopecia, and keratosis pilaris atrophicans are some examples of foliculitis.
Causes of hair loss in women?
A long-term rise in hair loss and decrease in hair thickness is known as chronic Telogen Effluvium, or long-term diffuse hair loss, which is the most frequent kind of hair loss in women.
Precautionary steps pre & post procedure?
The patient must abstain from vitamins, aspirin, alcohol, and smoke one week before the treatment. Additionally, give the patient advice if he has diabetes, high blood pressure, is taking medicine for heart problems, or if a psychiatrist has recommended any medication. Following the treatment, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics for three days. After the procedure, one must refrain from intense exercise, weight lifting, swimming, and direct sunlight exposure on the scalp for a period of fifteen days. Seven days following the operation, the patient can return to brisk walks and light exercise.
What are the medications prescribed post procedure?
Antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory regimen are recommended to the patient, and they must be followed for three days following the treatment.
Is there any need for long term medication?
Medication is not necessary because the transplanted hair will not fall out.
On the other hand, minoxidil treatments are necessary to stop the current hair from thinning and falling out.
What could be possible side effects of hair transplant?
Following the procedure, the donor and implanted areas need to be properly cared for. If not, complications like a bacterial infection or folliculitis infection can occur. In such an unanticipated circumstance, appropriate and prompt medical assistance should be obtained.
How can some clinics do procedure for cheap pricing?
Cheap hair transplant clinics employ cheap devices that may be reused on several patients, jeopardizing safety and leaving scars, as well as subpar facilities and unqualified doctors and technicians. At La Esthetiques High-skilled surgeons execute HT treatments utilizing imported, patented devices that are "single use" and destroyed after each case, guaranteeing no injury or scarring.
