Donor hair regrowth?

Are you tired of thinning hair that just won’t seem to grow? Fed up with trying every shampoo, conditioner and supplement under the sun to no avail? Fear not my balding friend! There may be a solution that you haven’t considered yet – donor hair regrowth. That’s right, it’s possible to transplant hair follicles from one area of your scalp to another in order to stimulate growth. But is this actually a viable option for those suffering from hair loss? Let’s find out.

What Exactly is Donor Hair?

Before we dive into how donor hair regrowth works, let’s first clarify what exactly “donor hair” refers to. Essentially, it’s healthy hairs on parts of your scalp that aren’t as prone to balding (usually the back or sides). These areas are typically resistant to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is known for causing male pattern baldness.

Okay…But How Does It Work?

The process itself involves removing small clusters of hairs (called “grafts”) from the donor area using a special tool. Depending on your individual needs and preferences, anywhere from hundreds to thousands of grafts can be taken during a single session. From there, each graft will undergo careful preparation before being transplanted onto the recipient site (i.e., where you want new growth).

Once implanted, these little guys work their magic by eventually sprouting new strands over time. Because they’re taken directly from the patient’s own scalp rather than synthesized chemicals or animal sources, there isn’t any risk of rejection or allergic reaction.

So Does It Actually Work Though?

Great question! The short answer is: yes!

In fact according Society For Investigative Dermatology found in 2017 showed that almost 65% men who were treated with follicular unit extraction(FUE) ,a method for transplanting donor hair, saw significant improvements in density and fullness of their new growth. Meanwhile 23% remained stable.
It’s important to note that like any medical procedure, results can vary depending on a number of factors such as genetics, age, and the amount of hair loss you’re experiencing.

Okay So What are the Downsides?

While donor hair regrowth may seem like a godsend for those struggling with baldness or thinning locks, there are definitely some things to consider before committing to the procedure.

First off, it can be quite expensive; prices often range from several thousand dollars up to tens of thousands depending on how many grafts you need. Additionally, it’s not foolproof – there is a chance that some transplanted hairs will simply never take. And finally (perhaps most notably), even successful transplant recipients may still experience further hair loss down the road due to ongoing DHT sensitivity.

What To Expect During Your Procedure

Once you’ve decided that this is something worth exploring further (possibly with consultation from an expert in dermatology) , here’s what you can expect during your actual treatment:

Pre-Procedure Prep

Before anything else happens, your doctor will evaluate both the donor source area AND recipient site(s) in order to make sure they’re viable candidates for transplantation. They’ll also go over anesthesia options based on personal preference/medical history/etc., so don’t hesitate to speak up if you have concerns or questions!

Harvesting Stage

Next comes the extraction process itself; small groups of hairs will be removed one by one using either “follicular unit transplantation” (FUT), which involves removing strips of skin containing healthy follicles OR “follicular unit excision” (FUE), where individual strands/follicles are individually dissected out with a special tool.

Implantation Time!

Once the grafts have been individually prepared and counted, it’s time for the fun part! They’ll be placed into thin incisions made all over your recipient area(s), sometimes using needles or other tools to “inject” them in. This process can take a few hours depending on how many grafts are needed, so you may want to bring some entertainment (or even sleep through it – whatever works!).

Post-Op Care

Finally, once everything is said and done, your doctor will give you specific instructions on aftercare techniques which usually involves staying away from direct sunlight for days after surgery; avoiding harsh brushing/combing during early healing phases; being careful not to rub/touch newly implanted hairs too much, etc.

So there we have it folks: a brief rundown of donor hair regrowth. While it may not be right solution for everyone dealing with baldness/loss concerns, this approach has helped thousands achieve fuller-looking manes naturally! If cost isn’t an issue though…why not give it a shot?
