Hair loss is globally presented with higher prevalence and genetics with certain added contributing factors is the biggest culprit. The rise in the global incidence of baldness is due to various contributing factors which include increased pollution, increased stress, changed lifestyle and poor nutrition in diet which enhance the genetic effect to cause hair loss.
Male pattern baldness
Male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia refers to genetic baldness which is caused by dysfunction of genes leading to over sensitivity of the hair follicles. These over sensitive hair follicles undergo hair thinning or miniaturization under the influence of androgenic hormones leading to permanent hair loss.
This cycle progresses and involves the androgenic sensitive hair follicles leading to growing baldness. The area affected on the scalp includes the frontal and the vertex area which in advanced stage goes completely bald. In the advanced sage of baldness only a band of hair is left at the back and sides of the head which comprises of DHT resistant hair grafts which do not undergo hair thinning or miniaturization under the influence of androgenic hormones as it do not contain receptors for androgenic hormone.
Stages of progression of male pattern baldness
Norwood classification is the classification used commonly to evaluate the extent of hair loss. The stages are explained as follows:
Class I: Entire hairline lies high on the forehead and is not actually balding.
Class II: Triangular areas of recession in the sides of frontal area and minimal recession on mid frontal area.
Class III: Borderline case. Deepening of triangular recession or can include thinning of hair on the vertex.
Class IV: Further frontal hair loss and widening of hair loss from vertex but still a wide band of hair present separating frontal and vertex hair loss.
Class V: Widening of frontal and vertex hair loss and continual breaking of separation line of hairs between frontal and vertex baldness.
Class VI: Band or bridge of hair disappear merging frontal and vertex baldness.
Class VII: A band of hair presents only in back and side of the head.
Hair transplant procedure and techniques
There are other temporary modalities to treat male pattern baldness including temporary aids (wigs, extensions, prosthetic hairs and hair patches) and medications (minoxidil and finasteride). But temporary means can definitely not be considered a long term solution for hair loss. The hair transplant is a very well accepted minimally invasive surgical procedure to provide the permanent and natural looking hair growth at the bald area.
The hair transplant procedure is performed by restoring the bald area using the hair follicles harvested from the donor area specifically which possesses permanent hair roots. This procedure was earlier embraced by the celebrities and the high profile patients but now due to affordable hair transplant cost in India it has become the most preferred hair loss solution among commoners too.
The hair transplant is performed using 2 basic techniques: FUT and FUE hair transplant techniques.
FUT hair transplant is performed by excising a thin strip from the scalp donor area which is then dissected further to divide the individual hair graft to be transplanted at the desired bald area. The donor area is closed by an advanced technique termed “trichophytic closure” which makes the technique compatible to provide almost invisible scaring.
FUE hair transplant is employed by extracting or pulling the individual hair graft using the punch surgical device which is then directly transplanted at the desired bald area. The care should be taken to extract each hair grafts from a greater inter distance in order to negate the scarring at the donor area.
