Jakarta –
Baldness is part of the natural aging process that causes hair to thin in certain areas. For some people baldness is considered a normal thing, but for some it is something that must be overcome.
One thing that is done to overcome baldness is hair transplant. This process was recently carried out by musician Anang Hermansyah in Turkey.
What is a Hair Transplant?
According to Medical News Today, a hair transplant is a procedure that involves removing follicles from the back of the head that are resistant to DHT (a hormone that triggers the development of male characteristics) and transplanting them into bald areas.
Hair transplant itself is first believed to have occurred in 1939 in Japan. At that time, the area of hair grafted was not as much as it is today.
However, with the development of medical and cosmetic technology, grafts can reach thousands of strands of hair. Even not only on the scalp, but also other parts of the facial skin, such as the forehead and lower face (beard or beard).
Hair Transplant Effectiveness
Quoted from Healthline, about 10 to 80 percent of transplanted hair will grow back completely in an estimated three to four months. However, keep in mind that the transplanted hair will be like normal hair, which can thin out over time.
Hair transplant this does not work optimally for everyone. Usually this procedure is used to restore naturally bald or thinning hair or hair loss due to injury.
Hair transplant procedures are less effective for people with:
– widespread thinning and baldness
– hair loss due to chemotherapy or other drugs
– thick scalp scars due to injury
Hair Transplant Side Effects
Although it is quite effective in overcoming baldness, it is still necessary to know the side effects that may be caused, including:
– Infection
– Crust or drainage of pus around the surgical site
– Scalp pain, itching, and swelling
– Inflammation of hair follicles (folliculitis)
– Bleeding
– Loss of sensors around the surgical site
– Areas of hair that look like they don’t match the surrounding hair or don’t feel thinner
– Continue to lose hair if still bald
Cost hair transplant varies depending on the number of hairs to be grafted. In the United States, for example, the price ranges from around Rp. 57 million to Rp. 216 million in each session.
