Reducing Worry with Shaved-Head Hair Transplantation and Non-Excision

The seasonal characteristics of summer

mean that hot and humid weather continues.

The ultraviolet index is also high, so these days

careful management is needed in many ways. If this

kind of climate persists for a long time, problems

that require even more attention can arise.

That problem is hair loss. When hair

falls out and is lost, the symptoms can

worsen more easily than in other seasons.

In particular, sunlight in sweltering heat above

35 degrees Celsius can damage not only human skin

but also natural hair, and as temperature and

humidity rise due to the rainy season,

sebum secretion also increases, making bacteria

easier to form.

And with the vacation season, people often visit

swimming pools and beaches, and if hair that has

absorbed chlorine or salt is not washed properly

at that time, there can be a risk of it falling out.

Therefore, in summer especially, it is good to pay

even more attention than usual to scalp and natural

hair care and provide appropriate management.

Of course, even aside from the characteristics of

the season, diseases that cause natural hair to

fall out can occur to anyone, regardless of sex or

age, at any time.

The causes of hair loss are said to be diverse.

In general, if there is someone in the family who

has this concern, it can occur due to genetic

factors, and severe stress from various situations

such as excessive work or study, as well as

environmental pollution like fine dust, can also be

a cause. Irregular eating habits or lifestyle

patterns that are not carefully managed because of

a busy daily routine, and in the case of women,

hormonal changes due to pregnancy, childbirth, and

menopause can also be reasons.

If hair falls out and is lost due to these causes,

creating empty spaces, confidence in one’s

appearance can drop significantly, making it hard

to face situations that require meeting other

people, such as business and interpersonal

relationships, and by acting passively, one may

experience various difficulties in carrying out

social activities smoothly.

Therefore, if hair loss is causing discomfort and

becoming a major concern, people seek their own

ways to compensate for it. Even after trying many

efforts using various methods such as shampoos

with functional ingredients, medicines that help

hair grow, wearing wigs, or using specialized

makeup, they realize that these only provide

temporary effects and are not fundamental solutions.

As a result, many visit related clinics to discuss

treatment methods and come across and consider

shaved-head hair transplantation.

Usually, when people think of a hair transplantation

procedure, they first think of the excision method.

The excision method involves cutting out a certain

section of scalp from the back of the head,

extracting the follicles there, and implanting them.

Although this method can cause pain, leave marks

after the procedure, and involve excessive

extraction, it has the advantages of a short

procedure time and being useful when a large

number of follicles are needed. However, some

people may avoid it because they may fear the pain

and there may be some limitations in daily life.

In contrast, shaved-head hair transplantation does

not involve cutting the scalp. Instead, it uses a

punch with an inner diameter of 0.8 to 1.2 mm to

manually extract the follicles needed for

implantation one by one and transplant them. This

process can minimize pain, and because recovery is

relatively fast, it has the advantage that it is

possible to return to normal work the very next

day. In addition, scars are barely left behind,

so it is not noticeable, and only as much as

needed can be obtained and used.

Also, because there are fewer outwardly visible

signs around the area, the graft survival rate can

be maintained at a higher level, which is said to

have a positive effect on the results. However,

the procedure takes a bit more time and is a

high-difficulty technique, so it can be a burden

in terms of cost. Even so, because the prognosis

tends to be good, satisfaction with shaved-head

hair transplantation is said to be quite high.

And as the name suggests, shaved-head hair

transplantation is a method carried out without the

burden of cutting the hair, while keeping the

hairstyle as it is. This means that you can feel

both the effect of transplanting and continuously

maintaining longer hair.

Because the existing hair can be used to hide the

traces, it is possible to continue enjoying a

natural appearance that does not look obvious to

the naked eye. Of course, this overall method is

important, but the final key to implantation,

including shaved-head hair transplantation, is a

stable graft survival rate. Since how consistently

and regularly one manages things during the

recommended period of about one year can determine

the final outcome, one must keep in mind that

personal effort is clearly necessary as well. Once

new hair starts growing again from the implanted

follicles, it gradually begins to fall out about

two weeks later, and after about a month, most of

the hair sheds again, entering the so-called

dark period.

This is not the implanted follicles falling out,

but a natural phenomenon, so there is no need to

worry. New natural hair can be observed growing

again, and after about a year, it blends with the

original hair and achieves a natural, full style.

Some people also consider shaved-head hair

transplantation for cosmetic purposes because it

can correct the hairline and complete a neat

appearance externally. In addition, if you are

considering proceeding with the treatment, there

are criteria to think about sufficiently before

starting. Rather than judging the symptoms or

condition on your own, it is better to visit a

clinic that focuses on treatment, discuss things

carefully with the doctor in charge, and then think

carefully about whether to proceed with the

procedure. Above all, the most important thing is

to focus absolutely on how well it blends with the

hair you already have without looking artificial,

while carefully examining the nature and form of

the scalp and natural hair, the proportions of the

face and facial features, the angles of various

areas, density, thickness, and other elements,

and systematically creating a personal design that

incorporates all these factors before following

the procedure.

If you focus only on a dense appearance or a low

price without fully understanding the aesthetic

aspects, it would be good to know that you may end

up with negative results that look artificial and

unharmonious. It is also necessary to check whether

the doctor performing the procedure has many years

of experience, and whether their technique,

skill, and know-how are outstanding. You should

also be sure to examine whether the aftercare

system carried out before and after the procedure

is implemented thoroughly.
