community Why can't NW7 get hair transplants? Can someone explain the math behind it?

in Transplants 60 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair transplants for NW7 individuals are challenging due to limited donor hair, often resulting in thin coverage unless body or beard hair is used. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are mentioned to support hair density and growth.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Can scalp micropigmentation work for long hair? Providers say SMP can add the look of density under longer hair, but most say it works best with short hair, and results vary.
Can Scalp Micropigmentation actually make hair look thicker, or is it just a cosmetic illusion? Scalp Micropigmentation creates the illusion of thicker hair by reducing scalp visibility.

learn Cetirizine

How does cetirizine reduce inflammation linked to hair loss? Cetirizine is proposed to lower prostaglandin D2 and raise prostaglandin E2 around hair follicles; three small trials of a compounded 1% topical report modest increases in hair density and shaft thickness, with minoxidil doing better head-to-head. Topical cetirizine is off-label and unapproved for hair loss, and the evidence is too thin to call it effective or safe.

Mild corticosteroid used on the skin and scalp

learn Hair Transplant

Surgery that moves hair follicles from the back of the scalp to thinning areas

Can I get a hair transplant if I have thinning hair? Sometimes. It depends on the cause and pattern of thinning and on whether the donor area is also thinning; diffuse thinning often rules surgery out.
Will transplanted hair fall out after a hair transplant? Transplanted hair usually lasts long term, although some grafts may not survive and hair around them can keep thinning. Shedding of the transplanted hairs in the first weeks is normal.
