Reason for Hair Loss : Why we loose our hair
Reason for Hair Loss : Why we loose our hair : The reason for hair loss resides in the genetic predisposition of the hair follicle itself, rather than that of the scalp. Therefore, transplanted hairs will continue growing because the hair follicle keeps its original genetic coding, and thus these are the follicles that are not affected by Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is the hormone that causes male-patterned baldness. In addition, despite being moved into a formerly bald area, it still maintains its donor hair characteristics, which is to not fall out and keep regrowing hair. When DHT resistant hair from the back of the scalp is transplanted to the top, it will continue to be resistant to DHT in its new location and grow normally. Immediately after the follicular unit hair grafts are extracted and transplanted into the scalp, the surrounding tissue will begin feeding the transplanted follicle and the healing process begins. The hair shaft may also shed, but the hair follicles will stay and often go into telogen (resting) phase. It is surveyed that hair graft survival rates are nearly 100%, although about 85-90% would manifest above the skin at any given time due to cycling.

Dr. Sanusi Umar, a renowned Los Angeles hair transplant surgeon, is able to use advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) methods to extract hair from the body and hair areas and use them as sources for hair transplantation. This process is known as body hair transplantation (BHT), for which Dr. Umar is the leading surgeon and pioneer in the field. Since areas of body hair are different in both quality and cycling, shortage of head donor supply is an issue of which a hair transplant surgeon should be aware of. The level of hair restoration depends on a patient’s degree of hair loss and their desired outcome.
