One of the most seen problems of the 21st century is hair fall. With increasing pollution, stress and tension, hair-fall has been a growing problem. Statistically, by the age of 35, 66% of men experience hair loss and notable thinning of hair. Generally in males, the male pattern baldness (MPB) is seen, i.e., the receding hairline and thinning crown and this hair loss keeps on increasing by age. The thinning of hair and excessive hair-fall is also common in women.
There are several reasons behind this which includes the lack of essential vitamins, hormonal dysfunctions, pregnancy (in women), chemotherapy and various other drugs or medicines which result in the restricted growth of the hair or damaged hair, making it weak.
Hair transplant is a very common way of treating baldness and restoring hair by surgically moving hair follicles from the donor site to the recipient site. These grafts contain hair follicles which are resistant to baldness. It takes about 2 months for these hair follicles to grow and once they start to grow, hair can be normally washed, combed and trimmed. These operations are done with a mild sedation which is of course subjective. After the transplant, the scalp is required to be kept clean and hence it is shampooed and treated with an antibacterial agent.
The modern era of hair transplantation in the western world was ushered in the late 1950s, when New York dermatologist Norman Orentreich began to experiment with free donor grafts to balding areas in patients with male pattern baldness. Previously it had been thought that transplanted hair would thrive no more than the original hair at the "recipient" site. Orentreich demonstrated that such grafts were "donor dominant," as the new hairs grew and lasted just as they would have at their original home.
Advancing the theory of donor dominance, Walter P. Unger, M.D. defined the parameters of the "Safe Donor Zone" from which the most permanent hair follicles could be extracted for hair transplantation. As transplanted hair will only grow in its new site for as long as it would have in its original one, these parameters continue to serve as the fundamental foundation for hair follicle harvesting, whether by strip method or FUE.
