In the past, hair was something to be proud of for its strength,

but at some point, the amount falling out gradually

started to increase, and if you can confirm

that about 100 or more strands are being lost per day,

you may begin to wonder whether you are also

experiencing hair loss.

In the past, this condition was limited to problems

seen in middle-aged and older men,

but these days it is considered a social disease

that can affect anyone regardless of gender or age.

The current number of related patients is estimated

to reach 10 million.

It often occurs due to genetic causes, but because

it can be confirmed through many different factors

other than those, it is advisable to pay attention

to the health management of your hair and scalp

during daily life.

Since prevention in advance is the best approach for any disease,

it is fair to say that hair loss is no different:

if you can prepare ahead of time, taking appropriate

measures is the right thing to do. Of course, even

if you have been consistently managing it in your

own way, a hair-loss condition can still begin.

So if you are troubled by these symptoms and are

under severe stress because of externally changed

appearance, it is important to visit a clinic that

provides focused treatment, receive examination and

diagnosis, and confirm the treatment method that is

right for you.

Among those going through such a process, inquiries

about large-scale hair transplantation are said to be

increasing steadily. In particular, when a procedure

that directly implants natural hair is performed,

the before-and-after change is significant, so it is

attracting the interest of many people. Because the

diagnosis varies depending on the current condition,

the area of loss, and the degree of progression, it is

important to set multiple criteria for clinics that

carry out these procedures, check them carefully, and

make a cautious decision.

If hair loss has progressed to the extent that more

than 5,000 grafts are required for a large-scale hair

transplant, it can greatly affect daily life, social

activities, and interpersonal relationships.

Even in normal natural hair, fewer than 100 strands

fall out per day, but if more than that are being lost

and areas of thinning are gradually appearing, it is

clear that prompt action and appropriate countermeasures

should be discussed with the physician at a relevant

medical institution as soon as possible.

Hair loss is a progressive condition that cannot be

stopped once it begins, so if it is left untreated

without measures being taken early, it can develop

into an uncontrollable and serious situation.

Therefore, it is best to seek help from a dedicated

physician in advance, before the situation arises in

which a large-scale hair transplant must be performed.

However, I think the problem is that many people with

related conditions do not visit a medical institution

and instead rely on folk remedies whose effectiveness

has not been proven. The complacent thought that if

you just leave it alone, it will get better on its own

often causes people to miss the golden time, that is,

the opportunity to respond in time, and leave it untreated.

Even if you take medication that helps hair grow,

it only serves to maintain the current state so that

a large amount of hair does not fall out, and the

effect of folk remedies is also extremely limited.

In this way, many people seem to end up looking into

large-scale hair transplantation with regret after the

symptoms worsen beyond recovery without gaining any

particular benefit.

What can be expected to provide excellent visible improvement

is large-scale hair transplantation, in which one’s own body hair

is transplanted.

As the name suggests, it is a method of moving and

repositioning your existing natural hair, and depending

on whether the back of the head needs to be incised,

it is classified into the incision method and the non-incision method.

The first method mentioned appeared somewhat earlier,

while the second is known to have been researched and

developed much more recently.

The previously introduced incision method involves cutting

the scalp needed for harvesting and obtaining follicles

from that area. Because the scalp is incised, the time

required for the procedure is shortened, which can be

advantageous in cases involving more than 5,000 grafts.

It is also said to be relatively less burdensome in terms

of cost compared with the non-incision method.

However, there is a high possibility of scarring, such as

marks left by suturing on the back of the head, and there

can be associated pressure from pain and similar issues.

In addition, depending on the condition of the scalp or

natural hair, even if a certain area is cut out, there may

be little healthy hair available for use, so this should

be kept in mind.

If hair loss has already progressed significantly, the

overall condition of the hair is also likely to be poor,

so it is judged to be better to undergo the procedure at

a place that can carefully select and supplement the hair.

The method carried out in this way is likely the non-incision method.

Because the medical team directly harvests healthy follicles

without cutting the scalp, it is known that more than

5,000 grafts can be implanted in a single procedure on the

same day.

Also, compared with the incision method, more time and

a higher level of skill from the medical team may be required,

and careful attention must be paid from the stage of separating

the follicles. The distribution of natural hair, the extent of

loss, the unique pattern and direction, thickness, density,

and other factors should all be carefully considered according

to the area where the grafts will be placed.

And rather than simply transplanting a large amount, in order

to create a result that later looks like your original hairstyle,

you must make sure that a personal design incorporating all

of these criteria is established and that the procedure is carried

out in sequential steps before making a decision.

In addition, because the scalp is not cut and sutured, it seems

that there is less burden in terms of pain and scarring.

Recovery is also faster as a result, and because the follicles

are selectively harvested, unnecessary damage can be reduced.

Furthermore, since only thick and dense follicles are secured

from areas where future hair loss is possible or from areas

other than those with scars, you do not need to worry about

visible gaps or whether it will stand out.

For that reason, I think it is above all a way to obtain a

natural and abundant result.

In addition, if you are considering proceeding with a large-scale

hair transplant, I think it is important to check whether the

dedicated physician handles the entire process personally and

proceeds with a sense of responsibility from consultation to

aftercare, and whether they have extensive experience, know-how,

and technique, including cases like this one.
