We often see images of celebrities before and after their success as an entrepreneur. First with an image of him as a youthful man but with great alopecia, then a more mature image with better physical shape, but above all a lot more hair. How is it possible ?
Strangely, most of those celebrities who respond quickly to fake news on Twitter have yet to comment on the subject.
Hair implantation.
The most likely answer is hair implantation. The implantation of a hair follicle can cost up to 7.5 dollars. And you need at least 5,000 follicles to have a satisfactory result. The total overall cost can therefore reach $ 40,000 (on average $ 10,000). These follicles come from the sides of the head which are less sensitive to the hormone levels (testosterone) often responsible for hair loss in men. It is for this reason that bald men are not often seen overnight.
Another method is to move hair covered scalp strips, with groups of 8 hair follicles, from the side of the skull forward. This technique is a little less expensive.
Hair transplantation requires several 3-4 hour sessions. An anesthetic helps to ensure that this procedure is not painful for the patient. The condition for performing this technique is to have good hair capital on the side of the skull, this is often the case in men, but not in women who unfortunately have more diffuse alopecia. It is always possible to implant hairs that come from other places on the body, these follicles will then adapt, but they will be limited in size.
This method does not guarantee eternal hair on the previously bald area, the follicles must necessarily be very vigorous to last over time. The operation may fail if the surgeon is not good enough. The follicles must be implanted at an angle of 40 to 50 degrees, otherwise they can develop badly and suffer the same fate as other hair. In addition, the follicles must be stored in a liquid for several hours before being implanted. The place of extraction may have bad scars that will be visible, especially if the hair on the sides and back is very fine.
Advanced wig.
Nowadays, you can add wigs by sticking them with a glue and a coating that allow the false scalp to last more than a month. It is possible to go to the swimming pool thanks to this new type of hairpiece, or to go in the shower. A double-sided tape will be even more effective than the glue that causes problems with the folds of the neck.
Medical treatment.
The best known drug treatments in the world are Minoxidil and Finasteride. These are the two most recommended treatments to effectively combat hair loss. However, they are mainly used to prevent hair loss currently present on the skull, rather than for regrowth of hair that has already fallen.
In addition, these drugs cause a number of side effects, such as rashes, swelling of the skin, and even impotence.
Complements.
In addition to Minoxidil and hair transplant, it is proposed to people to take multivitamin food supplements to fill deficiencies in B vitamins, magnesium; propolis to boost physical and intellectual performance; or active iron and zinc supplements against trace element deficiencies.
Conclusion.
According to dermatological surgeons, celebrities have had to use the technique of extracting follicle units from the back of the skull and transplanting those same units of hair follicles to the front of the scalp.
Do not hesitate to consult a dermatologist for the advice of a health professional.
