Hair Loss

---

Hair transplantation requires the utmost precision, which is why it is handled by surgeons with ample experience and expertise. The initial recovery period is usually between 10-14 days. Studies have shown that using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a pre and post operative treatment works by speeding up recovery and increasing the success rate. HBOT has an angiogenesis effect on the body which means it enables the body to create new vessels to connect such things as newly implanted hair.

Evidence has shown HBOT aids in surgery preparation and accelerated recovery in the following ways: 

• Reduces edema (swelling)/inflammation which in turn helps to reduce pain,
• Enhances oxygen availability to injured tissue,
• Aids in increased up take of fat and skin grafts,
• Promotes fibroblast proliferation/collagen synthesis,
• Reduces incidence of infection,
• Increases angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels).

We always recommend talking with your surgeon about any treatments before going ahead. We get referrals from many consultants, but each case is individual and needs careful planning.

Microneedling supports hair transplant procedures to enhance results by encouraging blood supply. This prepares the area growth of transplanted hair and encourages post-operative healing. Some people who come to us have chosen to remove their hair transplants. Micro-needling can help break down the scar tissue and improve the appearance of the damaged skin.
 

Always ask your consultant as to when you may start any further treatment.

Camouflage Plug-Like Appearance: Some older hair transplant methods, such as hair plugs or outdated techniques, may result in a less natural appearance due to the grouping of larger grafts. Medical Tattooing can help break up the visual appearance of these grafts, providing a more seamless and natural look. Hair loss on the scalp can be hidden by hair restoration tattooing in conjunction with Microneedling which stimulates dormant hair follicles (hair roots) and this often leads to new hair growth.

Hairline lowering is used to lower the hairline and reduce the height of the forehead, to create facial balance.

Risks include numbness, bleeding, scarring, bruising, swelling, discomfort, asymmetry, temporary or permanent hair loss, and infection. However, choosing a highly qualified and skilled surgeon and enhancing your healing with Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy will reduce these risks to ensure that you achieve optimal results with your forehead reduction surgery 

More and more Surgeons are turning to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to enhance recovery.

In addition to healing wounds faster, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been associated with lower rates of pain and infection, bruising and discomfort. 

HBOT encourages the formation of new cells and induces angiogenesis (the growth of new blood vessels) with increased dermal blood vessels. Better blood supply to the tissues means enhanced aesthetic scarring and maximized hair growth.

Most people are requesting the surgery because of hair loss so let us help you maximise your outcome by preventing any further hair loss and stimulating new health hair growth.

A course of 20 HBOT sessions is recommended pre and post-surgery. We work alongside your consultant.

Combined your course of Microneedling treatments we may recommend a soft wash of colour to break up the whiteness of the scar. This adds the finishing touches.

Most surgeons will recommend a course of follicle boosting Micro-needling to be taken 6-12 months post-surgery. Always seek advice from your consultant.
