Problem with a loss of hair was already known in past. At the same time a desire for perfect hair was increasing and an idea of hair replacement ensued step by step. There from comes a modern and increasingly used hair transplant method.
Principles of hair transplant reach the period of the First World War.
Especially the USA can be proud of more significant development of hair replacement in fifties, sixties and seventies of 20th century.
At present we still meet a continuous development of current nearly perfect methods, when speaking about the hair transplantation. Hair transplant belongs to standard and very often used method for loss of hair. In the future we also expect further development in the area of hair transplantation.
Hair transplant in past
People contend with loss of hair for ages. Various balms, lotions and other natural preparations were invented against loss of hair. These preparations helped some people, but not everyone. In most cases it was a placebo effect of the problem solution and in fact there was no positive result. In these days nobody knew about hair transplant.
Replacement of Hair transplant in past
Lotions and balms did not really help to hair growth in former time, so people tried to find other solutions how to hide a hair loss or a bald head. Wigs and hairpieces were invented to hide the bald head and bald areas on the head. This solution was not permanent, so it did not meet real success. It is impossible to compare it with hair transplant.
Methods of Hair transplant
There was long-lasting progress in the area of hair transplant. Origins of hair transplant methods are dated to the period before the Second World War. We thank to these origins of hair transplant to dermatologic doctors Dr. Okudo from Japan and to Dr. Orentreich from the USA.
Thanks to these specialists on hair transplant the method has been stabilized. It consist on the process that some hair scions from the healthy part of the head are transferred to the harmed area, where hair starts growing in plenty.
The science keeps its weather eye open and there appeared other forms of hair transplant.
Ancestors of Modern Method of Hair transplant
There existed many other used methods of transplantation of hair that tried to replace hair. Some of the methods were not so successful, but even thanks to them we discovered more perfect ways of hair transplant.
Hair transplant – Original Method
There was an often used way of hair transplant and we can still meet it – cutting off parts of skin on the back of the head, hair sac extracts and its transplantation in harmed area. It is quite effective, but it is often replaced by other more modern method, which uses the elements of hair transplant according to Dr. Orentreich.
Hair transplant – Hair Sticking Method
People and doctors were and still are inventive. One of the ways how to transplant hair was a method “hair sticking”, when a donator’s skin with hair was cut off and presented, it was transplanted on the head with hair loss problem. This method was not used for a long period, while the effect of growth was low and an amount of donators was also low.
Ways of Hair Elements Take-off
The way of hair take-off towards the transplantation was changing in the course of time. Old transplantation techniques so-called strip are not used too often. In the back of the head a strip of skin with hair and hypodermis was taken off, it was sewed up and in most cases a relatively remarkable scar remained at the place of take-off.
Newer technique
A newer technique of hair transplant so-called FUE is based on a take-off of hair elements. It is relatively difficult, but the scarves are nearly invisible. That’s why this hair transplant method is most common used within a present medicine. Arrange a free meeting wit our plastic surgeons.
Simple Ways of Hair transplant
A person, who is not willing to invest money in hair transplant. or who cannot undergo it because of health problems and who does not suffer from enormous loss of hair, can try non-surgery solution. He can wear a hairpiece or a wig or he can try to lengthen his hair.
The truth is that mostly women lengthen their hair, while they want to be pretty and they want to have their hair richer and longer. A wig or a hair peace is just temporal solution to hide a problematic area, but it doesn’t solve the problem of hair loss. A real hair transplant remains the most ideal solution.
Future of Hair transplant
Thanks to permanent development of modern medicine and science it is obvious, that we can expect that hair transplant methods will be less painful, simpler, faster and more sophisticated. Issue of hair transplant is still in progress and therefore we cannot exclude, that hair will be transplanted totally in different way from current successful hair transplant method in ten years.
