How Hair Loss or Baldness Occurs?

DHT or DI-hydro Testosterone is a prime responsible factor in causing the baldness or hair loss as it is influenced by the genes and hormones. The male sex Androgen hormone is prime responsible for causing the baldness and the formation of DHT occurs due to the catalytic activity of the Androgen hormone with the addition of the 5-alpha-reductase. The formation step of DHT is more active in men as the prime agent for the formation of DHT is the male sex hormone. But, still the research is continuing to address the other causes of pattern baldness in female as women also show the pattern baldness, but in a different form. The women don’t show the total baldness, except the severe hair loss.

How Do You find that you are an eligible Candidate for the Pattern Baldness?

1. The Reason for Baldness:  This is the most important factor in hair loss treatment to know the status of hair loss. The hair loss or baldness may occur due to a number of reasons, but what is exactly needed to identify in order to treat the issue effectively. Therefore, the hair transplant surgeons give prime emphasis on the pre-procedure consultation. This is the initial consultation that identifies the status of the issue in terms of extent and treatment measure. If the issue occurs due to the autoimmunity fault, it is not recommended to do hair transplant in such cases, such as the spot baldness or the Alopecia areata. The hair loss treatment measure is identified on the basis of the causes, associated factors for causing them as well as the status of the problem. If the issue arose due to the hereditary factor, it gets disrupted by the DHT and severe miniaturization as well as the tendency to severe hair fall is more common in such stage. However, the genetic cause of hair loss is only getting solved permanently with the hair transplant procedure.
2. The state of NW-pattern: The Norwood scale in the hair transplant procedure is the most accepted scale for the measurement of balding level based on the extent or severity. Basically, there are 7 grades of hair loss or baldness associated with the male pattern baldness. As much as the grade increases, the extent gets severe and requires the hair transplant procedure. However, it is also very important to check the Norwood patter prior to surgery that further explains about the feasible technique to address the issue effectively. The hair loss problem associated with the genetic hair loss clearly describes the pattern on the Norwood scale and if the grade is more than 3 numbers, it is mandatory to receive the hair transplant procedure. Thus, it is also a fact that grade IV is an indication of receiving the hair transplant surgery.
3. The Age of the Patient: In order to receive the hair transplant surgery, it’s inevitable to know the age of the patient at the time of surgical restoration. Scientifically, it is advisable to receive the hair transplant surgery, only after the age of 25 in order to get the best cosmetic benefits of the procedure. But, in some peculiar cases, the hair transplant surgery can be done for those also having grades less than that of 4, but it perversely affects the scalp by affecting the top, front, and crown areas of the scalp. Thus, it all depends on the initial consultation what technique would be feasible to treat the baldness and when it is needed to perform the surgery in order to get the best cosmetic benefits of the procedure.

Conclusion:

On the whole, we can say that the procedure of hair transplantation needs the primary consultation in order to know the status of hair loss, the reason for baldness and also the feasible technique to address the problem with the best cosmetic benefits. Therefore, it is important to get the consultation only from the expert hair transplant surgeon having both the outstanding aesthetic and surgical skills. The surgeon must possess an in-depth understanding of plastic & cosmetic surgery along with the quality to meet the aesthetic challenge of the procedure.
