The most common cause of hair loss, which is treatable by surgical procedures, is male pattern baldness. Both heredity and hormonal factors play important roles in this type of hair loss. Women who carry this trait will sometimes have generalized thinning of the scalp hair. Hair loss resulting from scarring caused by burns, injury, or diseases of the scalp, can be corrected, in both men and women, at Dr. Barsky's avante garde facilities.
Hair loss is now successfully treated, for both males and females, with the latest in laser hair transplant surgery - and the newest breakthrough in hair loss treatment ... laser hair transplants.
Following is the most widely used technique: Small grafts of healthy hairbearing skin are removed from the sides and back of the scalp, and transplanted into the areas of baldness. These grafts may vary in size from one single hair, up to thirty hairs in a standard graft, measuring one-fifth of an inch in diameter. Multiple hair transplant sessions are necessary, since these grafts, (commonly referred to as plugs), are spaced far enough apart to allow sufficient blood circulation, ensuring healthy growth of the hair. The transplanted hairs go into a temporary resting phase and will usually appear in approximately three months. These grafts continue to produce hair on a permanent basis.
This is a procedure which is often combined with either hair transplantation or scalp flap procedures. The bald scalp on the top of the head is removed surgically, and the adjacent skin, which has healthy growing hair, is stretched to diminish baldness. Several sessions are usually necessary. This method will completely cover the bald area of the crown, or diminish the area significantly, so that less hair transplantation is necessary to correct baldness.
This procedure moves large sections of hairbearing skin from the side and back of the scalp into the bald area. There are several flaps which are presently available. An advantage of this procedure is that there is no temporary hair loss, therefore, existence of healthy growing hair in the newly constructed hair line is immediate. As with the two previous procedures, often several scalp flaps are necessary to correct significant baldness. These surgical procedures can be performed on an out-patient basis, in our hospital accredited surgical suite, under either general or I.V. anesthesia.
