For
centuries, loss of hair has been seen as a curse that spells a loss
of virility and vitality. The Old Testament, a collection of
religious writings of ancient Israel that form the first section of
Christian Bibles, describes Baldness as one of God's favourite
punishments. Hair Loss straddles the boundaries or age or class and
it strikes anyone from men to women and even children, rich or poor.
Its
estimated that over millions of people the world over suffer from
loss of hair which eventually leads to complete baldness in almost
75% of them. Reports disclose that in the United States, over 35
million men and 21 million women suffer from hair loss and 40% of men
have noticeable hair loss by age 35 and 65% by age 60. Likewise, a
growing number of men and women in India too are facing the same
problem. Host of factors have been found to be responsible for
causing loss of hair including Genetics, Autoimmune Diseases,
Severe Illness, Hormone Deficiency, Stress, Poor nutrition, Heavy
Medications and improper hair care, etc.
To
counter hair loss and eventual baldness, many solutions have been
trumpeted over the years but unfortunately none of them could hold
their weight as they were found to be ineffective after a period of
time. The arrival of Hair Transplantation changed all these. Hailed
as the only proven, permanent solution to restore naturally growing
hair, Hair Transplantation has evolved with better techniques into a
versatile solution that best meets the demanding requirements of
people looking for a long term cure for hair loss. The developments
have been such that it caters to the needs of even women with female
pattern hair loss, something that was not possible with earlier
versions of hair transplantation.
Hair
transplant surgery involves removal of a thin strip of Hair from the
donor area which could be either back or sides of the head or both
possessing healthy crop of hair. Following this, the hair follicles
in the thin strip of hair are dissected in follicle groups and then
the non-hair bearing tissue is removed. It is this hair that is
transplanted on scalp's bald patch known as the recipient area and
once successfully transplanted, the recipient spot will start growing
naturally looking hair and slowly ensure a very natural looking
hairline. The reason why it has been successful and hailed as a
permanent cure that works for almost a lifetime is that hair
follicles where taken from the back of the head are genetically
resistant to baldness and this ensures that they do not fall when
they are transplanted on the recipient site. Transplant
sessions can involve anywhere between 1,500 to 3,000 grafts depending
on the extent of baldness.
HairTransplant surgery in India has caught up in a big way thanks to
the advancement of technology and the awareness created by
celebrities like movie stars Salman Khan, Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff
and other famous personalities like Virender Sehwag, Saurav Ganguly,
Harsha Bhogle, etc, who all today proudly flaunt their new thick
hairline following successful hair transplants. Their influence has
rubbed off in a such a positive way that today, many men and women as
well are making a beeline to hair transplant
surgery clinics. The growing popularity of advanced hair transplant
technologies that have helped in lowering hair transplant costs
bringing them within the reach of most people have also encouraged
Indians with hair loss problems to try them out and often they have
done so with tremendously successful results.
The
total
cost is 30 Rs per hair, and the average cost of FUT (strip) in a good
center in India is $1 approx per follicle. If one wants to go for
2000 hairs transplantation in a session, then it costs around 75,000
INR
to 1-2 lakhs (that
is, 550$ to 1500$) depending on the area of the scalp that is to be
treated. The costs also depends upon the brand of the clinic /
hospital. The
overall Hair Transplantation Costs is only about 25 percent of that
done in the United States where Hair Transplantation Costs anywhere
from $8,000
to $10,000. There are some well known Hair Transplant clinics inIndia that offer
advanced treatments like tricophytic closure designed to minimize the
scars and make them invisible or small. Also, there are many
hospitals that offer Hair Transplantation and Hair Transplant Clinics
