Five Limits of Hair Transplantation

1. A Transplanted Hair is Not Always Forever:
Although the majority of hair transplants will last over time some of them can go to miniaturization and fall. The story even teaches us that about 60% of patients after 2/3 years from hair transplantation show fairly approximate results and without proper care there is usually a return of thinning and baldness.

2. The Shock Loss Risk:
It is the risk in which, after the transplant surgery the hair still healthy and not atrophied but certainly weakened which are present in the sparse areas and around the transplanted object. The traumatic impact of the intervention can cause suffering of diseased follicles and consequently accelerate their miniaturization and subsequent hair loss. This shock is absent in regenerative care because it is completely atraumatic.

3. The Result is Not Always Natural:
Those who choose to undergo the auto transplant often do not know that the transplanted hair healthy and robust have almost always different thickness compared to the hair still alive present in the thinned areas. The result of proximity between thinner and thicker hair turns out to be aesthetically unnatural and visible to the naked eye.

4. Not Everyone Has a Very Large Donor Area:
The auto transplant consists in the removal of bulbs in areas typically free of baldness present in the head usually behind the nape and lateral and then insert them surgically in areas in need of thickening. Clearly the potential donor area is not able to donate the number of follicles necessary to cover baldness. If the donor area is not very thick it is not possible to extract many follicular units to be transplanted and it is therefore necessary to be very careful not to impoverish the area itself. Often the donor area not very rich in hair to "move" may not be wide enough areas will not grow again.

5. Hair Transplantation Is Not a Cure:
For this reason, before any intervention care is an essential phase. The strongest limitation of auto transplantation is intrinsic. Hair Transplant in Karachi is not a cure and consequently cannot counteract the pathology of baldness however evolutive and with aesthetic implications.
