Looking Into Permanent Hair Transplant MethodsBy Tim Bock

| |
Let us say that you have thought it over, slept through it and turned it over and over again and decided that permanent hair transplant is the way for you to go. But you still cannot decide which method to choose. There are a lot of factors to consider: your comfort zone and threshold, your budget, what is available and best for your condition. It is an excellent idea to talk to a surgeon, and if you are up to it, compare surgeons and services even. Permanent hair transplant is no light subject; after all, it will shape and redefine not only your hairline but also the way you will see yourself in the mirror everyday.
Some of the permanent hair transplant methods include mini-grafting and micro-grafting, slit grafts, and strip grafts. Micro-grafts have one to two hairs while mini-grafts have three to four. Mini-grafting and micro-grafting transplant hair and have lower metabolic requirements because of its size, and are also able to grow over scarred areas as well. Also, the chance of success is high, about 85% on scarred tissue and 95% on non-scarred tissue. There are also slit grafts and strip grafts. Slit grafts differ from strip grafts in that they contain four to ten hairs. These are used on areas away from the edges. Strip grafts, on the other hand, are larger and may contain thirty to forty hairs. The hair surgeon combines these four methods - mini-grafting, micro-grafting, slit grafts and strip grafts - to recreate an authentic head of hair.
