Hair is one attribute, which a woman grows more than his sex counterpart. This implies that he has to be extra cautious while dealing with it and she will have to take an extra precautionary measure to control their fall, besides long & beautiful hair are considered the asset of a woman.

Men and women have to bear with flaws in his gene, which adds to his hair loss. Adding injuries to insult are the various blemishes in his character such as smoking & lack of hair care. Thus, hair transplantation is one measure, which can be taken before it gets too late & results in an incurable baldness. Men do not tend to loose hair in a regular pattern, but the male pattern balding takes years to develop, with a very slow & steady pace of regular hair loss. A few hair strands on your comb is not hair baldness but a regular chunk of hair would definitely lead you to one of hair transplantation centers.

The hair transplantation therapy requires certain prerequisites. Not everyone can have a transplant. Some of the features for an acceptor are:

• Male Pattern Baldness
• Donor hair should be easily accessible.
• The colour difference between the donor hair & the acceptor scalp has to be as marginal.
• The donor hair density should be appreciable.
• Loose & flexible scalp yield to better hair nurture.
• The hair diameter should not be fine. Coarse hair leads to better transplantation.
• The confidence acceptor has in the process.

There are several applicants not fit for this process. They are:

• Women do not serve as a good donor or an acceptor. Their hair are fine & contrary to what men have, they don’t own hair on the side & back of their head…the most dense of all hair structures. Besides, in appropriate donor or acceptor can lead to incurable damages to the scalp.
• Several men suffer from DIFFUSE UNPATTERNED ALOPECIA (DUPA). This is a condition when men have insufficient hair donor supply.
• Diseased donor can also serve as a reason for incapability of donor or acceptor duo. Women suffer from genetic androgenetic alocepia & thus are more liable to this condition.
• People with low hair density or tight, inelastic scalp cannot undergo this treatment.
• The process of transplantation is expensive & people lacking funds cannot be entertained.

The patients are educated before hand about the pros & cons of the process. It being an irreversible one, the consequences cannot be undone. However, the patients are informed about the extent to which the process can succeed & the side effects it has. Moreover, the patient does not have to be bald to begin this treatment.

Psychological Reasons for the Therapy

Hair, as I said previously, determines the manly characteristics man owns, symbolizes beauty & sexuality in women & is the epitome of their health & well being. In older days, lesser hair meant that the individual is mall-nutritional, unhealthy & poor. This biased attitude developed a psychology in human today. They relate hair more to their social status than to their well being.

Hair is one body part you can play with…cut it, tie it, die it…it grows all over again. What you cannot govern is the natural texture it has & the rate of its growth & decay. It is a mode of self-expression & hair loss can lead to depression & irritation in an individual.

Hair loss also leads to the loss of one or all of the following:

• Social Status
• Sexuality
• Self Esteem
• Candidature from exams
• How people perceive you.
• Self Confidence
• Stress

Taking into account the numerous psychological changes faced by an individual prone to hair loss, comprehensive research has been carried out in this respect & most of the factors were found to be psychologically appropriate. The increase in patient satisfaction & psychological change in behaviour made us to look into the feedbacks & queries sent to us by some of the patients.
