Hair transplant

Hair serves an important cosmetic function in humans and either the lack or excess of hair causes significant emotional stress. Pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia, PHL) represents the most common cause for baldness in men. The past decade has seen significant development in the management of androgenic hair loss. While medical therapy with both minoxidil and finasteride has a definite place in the management of male pattern hair loss (MPHL), its effect is temporary and the results are not satisfactory in advanced pattern hair loss. Surgical management remains the only permanent method of restoring hair in PHL. Techniques have evolved dramatically, with FUE (follicular unit extraction) as the most recent advancement in minimally invasive surgical hair restoration.
