Alopecia Surgery

When to Consider Alopecia Surgery Procedures

Surgery is recommended when medication or regenerative therapies are insufficient. Common indications are stable androgenetic alopecia, scarring alopecia, traction alopecia, or hair loss from injury. Healthy follicles are moved from donor areas to thinning or bald zones using techniques such as follicular unit extraction (FUE) or follicular unit transplantation (FUT). Hairline redesign and repair are available for patients dissatisfied with previous results.

• Male hair transplant with FUE for male pattern baldness
• Female hair transplant with customised graft patterns
• Hairline design and restoration for balanced aesthetics
• Scar hair restoration into injury-related scalp scars
• Repair and correction of failed or unnatural transplants

Procedure Types and Recovery

Techniques include FUE, FUT, scalp reduction, and flap surgery. FUE uses small tools to reduce donor site trauma. Scalp reduction removes bald skin and closes with hair-bearing scalp. Recovery varies; FUE patients may resume light activity within days. Post-care involves gentle washing, avoiding sun, and using prescribed products to protect grafts. Clinical photos are kept confidential for records.

Adjunctive Treatments

PRP, i-PRF, Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC), exosome therapy, and similar regenerative options can be added to surgery to improve graft survival or stimulate existing hair. They may also be used alone in early hair loss stages.

Comparing Surgical and Non-Surgical Options

Surgery permanently relocates follicles and depends on good donor hair. Non-surgical options include scalp micropigmentation (SMP), low-level laser therapy (LLLT), Dermapen stimulation, and prescription hair medications. For alopecia areata or diffuse thinning, medical treatments are primary, with surgery only after stability. Combining methods can improve coverage and texture.

• Regenerative trichology treatments like GFC, PRP, i-PRF, exosome therapy
• Management of alopecia areata, scarring alopecia, traction alopecia
• Hair medications such as minoxidil or finasteride under medical supervision

Consultations are available in person or online. Bring recent medical reports and details of current hair loss treatments for assessment.
