The Science of Hair Loss

Have you ever wondered what your hair is actually made of or how it grows? Hair is made from a protein known as keratin that is produced in hair follicles in the outer layer of skin. Follicles create new hair cells while old cells are being pushed out through the surface of the skin. Average hair growth rate is about six inches per year and the average adult has somewhere between 100,000 to 150,000 hairs. Losing around a 100 hairs per day is normal.

Norwood Hair Loss Scale

As people age, their hair growth rate slows. There are many types of hair loss, called alopecia. Some conditions cause hair to thin, some cause hair to fall out, some cause patches, etc. So, what is the underlying reason for hair loss?

There are things that cause hair loss: genes, hormones, stress, illness, disease, drugs, chemotherapy, burns, scars, etc. Shampooing too often, tight braiding, dyeing, and perms can damage your hair and also cause thinning. Even what you eat can affect your scalp health.

FUE & FUT

Anyone who’s experienced hair loss knows that living with less hair is challenging. Searching for the right solution can be confusing and intimidating, and with many different treatments, techniques and terms to choose from, finding the right solution can even become overwhelming. If you’ve considered hair transplants here is some information that may help you determine which hair transplant technique is right for you.

FUT
The Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method, also called the “strip method”, involves surgically removing a strip of scalp from the donors head. Once the hair follicles are extracted from the donor strip, they are then redistributed across the affected regions. The strip method transplants more hair per procedure so it’s a lot quicker, require fewer sessions, in turn helps limit costs. Although, scarring is minimal, this technique leaves a linear scar that makes short haircuts difficult. This procedure does have a longer recovery time, but results in greater coverage, density, and a natural, age-appropriate-looking hairline.

 
FUE
The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method involves harvesting individual follicular units one-by-one from the donor area and then each follicle is transplanted into the areas affected by hair loss. Since the FUE method involves removing fewer hairs, the process is more time consuming and may involve more sessions. However, since this technique doesn’t involve removing a strip of skin from the scalp, there are no cuts or stitches which means no visible scarring. The results look completely natural — recovery is fast and almost painless allowing many patients to return to work the next day.

Although, both techniques have been very successful, each method has its pros and cons and no technique is better than the other. At PAI, our experienced staff will help you determine which hair transplantation option is right for you and your particular hair loss. We believe that only the best procedures with the greatest benefits are acceptable for our clients.
