FUE Hair Transplants to Restore a Full Head of Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As they grow older, most men will lose hair, and though for some the loss is barely noticeable, for others it's very obvious. and when hair loss is severe or begins at a young age, it can cause great anxiety. For men, hair loss can cause distress especially if it happens in their early adult life, whether the hair is thinning on top, receding at the temples or going bald at the back.

It's a fact of life that most men will lose some, or all of their hair as they get older, and while some men embrace their baldness, there are also those who decide to do something about it.

Selston Cosmetic Clinic's renowned hair transplant surgeon, Raghu Reddy, has developed the Third Generation FUE; the most advanced minimally invasive method of hair restoration, which can achieve better and more natural looking results than more traditional procedures. With these advanced techniques, the results can be very convincing, especially when restoration is performed by such an experienced hair transplant surgeon.

Benefits of Third Generation FUE includes:

• No scalpels, stitches or linear scarring
• Natural-looking results
• The ability to achieve maximum density
• Ability to choose grafts and hair for different areas of the scalp
• Lifelong guarantee
• Future loss of hair can be countered for
• We can correct previous scars

Since Dr Reddy started to perform FUE hair transplants at Selston Cosmetic Clinic, which is his satellite clinic serving the North and Midlands, his wealth of experience has made him a much sought after FUE transplant surgeon. Dr Reddy works most weekends at the Selston clinic.

The transplant procedure involves taking single hairs, which contain the sebaceous glands, as well as the nerve and blood tissue and then transplanting them to the area that needs filling in. We take the hair from the back of the head, and as this hair is not subject to hair loss, once it's transplanted it will remain. It's a painless procedure with little down time and no linear scaring.

The photo's below show Dr Reddy implanting the grafts and the grafts being prepared.

FUE treatments will leave you with natural looking, long-lasting results. The technique precisely targets and transplants only the strong, healthy hair follicles that aren't sensitive to testosterone, and this results in the hair loss being restored permanently. The specialist hair transplant doctors use custom-made microsurgical tools to ensure a single minimally invasive procedure, without unsightly scarring.

There will be some minor pin prick scarring immediately after the procedure, but this disappears during the healing process which takes approximately 5-7 days and any redness or slight swelling in the treatment area will also subside.

FUE, FUT & Strip Hair Transplant Procedures - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It may have been nature's plan for you to have thinning hair or bald patches, but the great thing is that you don't have to follow nature's plan. Losing your hair is one of the most demoralising things that can happen to a man as he ages, and can eat away at his self-esteem. So it's a relief that hair transplant technology has improved so much in recent years.

Dr Raghu Reddy performing a FUE hair transplant procedure

Deciding whether or not to have a hair transplant procedure is a big step, and at Selston Cosmetic Clinic we've had fantastic results with this treatment. Heading the FUE hair transplant team is Dr Raghu Reddy, who is now known as one of the best hair transplant surgeons in the country, and he's delivering consistent, outstanding results, as you can see with our before and after photo's on our website gallery. 

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure, where your own hair is taken from the back of your head, and gets transplanted into the balding area. It's a highly technical, sensitive and laborious procedure which when performed well, can offer a lifetime solution to baldness. Dr Reddy does hair transplants by FUT/Strip or FUE procedure.

When you are thinking of having hair transplant treatment, it's hard to know which doctor to choose, as you obviously want someone with lots of experience in this area. Dr Reddy has extensive experience with 3rd Generation FUE hair transplants and strip hair transplants and he specialises in the former. There are two types of procedure; strip surgery, which is a process that takes a strip of skin from the back of the scalp, and hair grafts which get taken out and placed into the balding areas.

Before and after a FUE hair transplant

In order for you to find out what method would suit you best, a consultation is essential. Not every one is suitable for the FUE hair transplant, so the strip hair transplant method might be appropriate or similarly the strip method might not suit everyone.
Some of the key factors looked for during the consultation are:

• Age
• Family history
• Expectations
• Sufficient donor hair
• Nature of scalp etc.

If you have any hair concerns; whether you are receding, balding at the crown or your hair is thinning, call and book a free consultation and we can let you know all your options. We will talk you through the procedure and answer all your questions. Give us a call and find out just what we can do, to give you back you full head of hair!

Balding, Receding, Thinning Hair Loss & FUE Hair Transplants - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

A recent survey found that men fear losing their hair, either by it thinning, receding or by going bald completely, will make them unattractive in the eyes of others when really it's how a man handles his hair changes is what is, or isn't attractive. The survey revealed that men who have bald fathers tend to keep their own hair short, so that if the hair begins to fall out, it wouldn't be such a shock to lose it all.

Lots of men, it would seem, worry about what others think about their hair loss. Some men see the first signs of baldness and just shave off the lot, while others look for ways to hide it, to put off the inevitable and cover up, either with baseball caps or the dreaded comb over! No-one likes to admit they’re getting older, let alone have the evidence staring back at them every time they look in the mirror.

There are three general patterns of male pattern hair loss, and men can experience any one of these patterns of hair loss or a mixture of all three:

Receding hairline
A receding hairline is one of the most common hair loss patterns, where the hair is lost at the temples, either side of the forehead, usually leaving a mound in the middle. This may sometimes be the only area of hair loss, but others may experience thinning at the crown as well.

Thinning crown
Some men will experience their hair thinning at the crown, which is at the back or top of the head. This can occur by itself or coincide with a receding hairline. Usually hair loss starts with thinning at the crown until the scalp becomes visible, and in time a bald patch may appear. This bald patch may grow wider until it meets the receding hairline, or it may stay at the top or back of the head and spread outwards in all directions to produce a circular baldness.

General thinning
General thinning spreads evenly over the top of the scalp, and men will not get a distinct receding hairline or a thinning crown. With general thinning, the onset of hair loss is less obvious and takes longer to notice.

One method of restoring hair to a follically challenged head is by using the FUE hair transplant technique, which we offer at the Selston Cosmetic Clinic. FUE Hair Transplants are the most advanced hair transplantation procedure available on the market today. Developed by renowned hair transplant surgeon Dr. Raghu Reddy. Dr. Reddy's main practice is in Harley Street, London and his satellite clinic serving the North and Midlands is the Selston Cosmetic Clinic.

FUE hair transplants are very popular as:

• They deliver more natural-looking results.
• The treatment is less painful than other methods.
• Downtime is minimal.

 

FUE involves taking healthy hair follicles from the scalp one by one and grafting them into the bald areas of the head. The surgeon transplants hair follicles into the same slot that contained previous hair, giving it a better chance of settling in permanently. This method of transplanting is very intricate and it requires special attention and care. This means the treatment is completed over a number of sessions and not performed in one long exhausting procedure. The grafts usually take in a few days and the redness caused by the treatment settles in under a week.

 

In most cases, once you receive the aesthetics, you'll only feel minimal discomfort during the procedure. With the FUE hair transplant technique, visible scarring on the scalp is negligible. FUE transplant procedures are less painful compared to earlier transplant treatments and they tend to produce more natural looking results.

FUE Hair Transplant Treatment for Hair Loss - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

It would seem that some men are experiencing the beginning of baldness as early as in their 20s, which is a giant leap from our fathers' generation who had hoped to get to their 40s, with a full head of hair. statistically, about two out of three men experience hair loss by the age of 60, and that's mostly due to male pattern baldness, caused by a mix of genes and male sex hormones.

No one, given the choice, wants to lose their hair and the discovery of any hair loss is a stressful experience. A lot of feelings towards baldness are overwhelmingly negative, in a world that views luscious locks of hair as a sign of youth and good health. For a person with a balding, or thinning hairline, it can not only have an affect on the personality, but make them the target of ridicule and for some have their baldness ending up as a family joke.

Consequently, for many, it feels as though the start of hair loss dramatically signals the end of youth, vitality and desirability. Many sufferers suffer frustration at their inability to style their hair as they would like and the trouble it takes to camouflage thinning hair. Hair loss can alter the way a person looks and a receding hair-line can result in an aged appearance.

When looking at the history of hair loss patterns of parents and close relatives, then the fate of your own hair must seem inevitable. The effects of balding can ruin your self-esteem and for this very reason men seek to find a cure or solution to this condition. When hair loss starts, the  sooner you seek out hair restoration treatment, the better the outcome. Getting hair loss treatment early will mean that you have fewer years of worry, watching your hair disappear down the plug hole.

The Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a process that involves removing some of the healthy hair follicles from one part of the scalp and placing them in a different area without hair. With FUE, we extract individual follicles directly from the back or side of scalp and transplant them individually, as opposed to in one single strip. If possible,  we will place the transplanted hair into the same slot that the former hair follicles were in, to keep the look as natural as possible. There is no cutting of the scalp and there will only be some minor scarring, which looks like tiny pin pricks, straight after the operation but this will disappear during the healing process which takes about  5-7 days. After a week, any redness or slight swelling in the treatment area will have subsided.

Deciding whether or not to have a hair transplant procedure is a big step and if you do decide to go ahead with the transplant, we at the Selston Cosmetic Clinic have had fantastic results. Heading the FUE hair transplant team is Dr Raghu Reddy, who is now known as one of the best hair transplant surgeons in the country and he is delivering consistent outstanding results, as you can see with our before and after photo's. Dr Reddy and his team have performed close to 3000 successful hair restoration procedures using FUE technique.

 

 

 

So if you're ready to take that first step, take it with us, your hair will be safe in our hands!

FUE Hair Transplants for Hair Loss - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

FUE hair transplants

A recent study on hair loss has shown that the average time between noticing hair loss for the first time and visiting a doctor about hair loss treatment, is six years. And as hair loss is normally a gradual process this does seem to make sense. Before this, men go through the denial stage, then they hope their hair loss will stop, or bizarrely that the hair loss will reverse itself and their hair will come back!  If  you look at the history of hair loss patterns of parents and close relatives, then the fate of your own hair must seem inevitable. The sooner you seek out hair restoration treatment, the better the outcome. Starting hair loss treatment early means that you will have fewer  years of worry, watching your hair disappear down the plug hole.

FUE hair transplants are a process that involves removing some of the healthy hair follicles that are already on your head and then transplanting them individually to the areas of your head that are currently without hair. If possible, the transplanted hair will be put into the same slot that the former hair follicles were in, to keep the look as natural as possible.  And this also helps to increase the chances that the hair stays permanently transplanted, so that you never have to worry about going bald again – or at least drastically reduce the amount of hair loss you are currently faced with.

Before starting treatment it’s helpful to consider whether your hair loss has remained stationary for  some time, as this means no further hair loss is taking place.
If it's the initial stage of hair loss that's where hair is still shedding, then it may be that you will require more treatments later on, as continued hair loss takes place.
If it has remained the same for a while, and no further hair loss seems to be taking place, then there is a greater chance that you may only need one treatment to keep the results in place.

Before

After

If you do decide to have the transplant done, you may wonder what you should be expecting. In most cases, the transplant isn’t going to hurt and once you receive the aesthetics, you’ll feel only minimal discomfort the entire time the procedure is being performed. The chances of visible scarring are negligible, so once it’s completed, you shouldn’t be able to notice that you've had the hair transplant done. Having a FUE hair transplant tends to be a less painful procedure compared to earlier transplant methods and it also produces more natural looking results. This is a big reason why it’s a far more attractive option for most people considering the process.

At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic, the team is headed by Dr Raghu Reddy who is now known as one of the best hair transplant surgeons in the country.  Dr Reddy is a world renowed hair restoration surgeon and pioneer of Third generation FUE or the H + technique. He is delivering consistent outstanding results.
Dr Reddy and his team have performed close to 3000 successful hair restoration procedures using FUE technique.

So if your hair loss is getting you down, then this is definitely a process you'll want to be considering.

Hair Extensions = Hair Loss ? Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield.

Hair Loss on Women

Can hair extensions lead to hair loss ?

The magic of hair extensions is one of the best kept beauty secrets of the ladies of today. However, few of us realise the risk this growing beauty trend poses for permanent hair loss. Symptoms ranging from blinding headaches, to patchy hair loss and sometimes permanent damage are making doctors warn women about the dangers of hair extensions.

Whether long tumbling locks blowing in the breeze or a classy up do, who wouldn’t want the magic of hair extensions? The ease of being able to change your image on a whim, rather than spending years waiting for your own hair to grow must be every girls dream.  But unknown to many, extensions can cause serious damage to your hair, due to the weight of the extensions pulling at your own hair. It may break off or even worse, leave you with bald patches. Is it worth the risk?

When celebrities are seen using hair extensions to frequently change their look, women in huge numbers, and men to a smaller extent started to buy into this trend, turning hair extensions into a multimillion pound industry virtually overnight.

Britney Spears

Britney - Hair loss

The theory behind hair extensions is wonderful. You can increase the length or volume of your hair by simply attaching either artificial or human hair to the ends of your own hair. This ranges from using small clips, or small metal rings that are crimped on, or using potentially harmful glues which can strip hair of its protective layers, to sewing in bunches of extensions to your existing hair which has to be weaved into rows. The problem is the ways  you have to attach the extra hair to your own hair and the potential damage these techniques can cause.

Victoria Beckham

Overtime the friction and tugging of the added weight at the scalp, can cause injury to the natural hair follicle and hair loss can occur. Any chemical or mechanical treatment of the hair can damage at both the root and the shaft, causing it to break at or just above the extension joins. If the hair is pulled out often enough, the follicle will simply die, resulting in hair loss, a condition known as Traction Alopecia.

Naomi Campbell showing hair loss

Hair extensions have received a lot of attention in recent years as more and more celebrities are encountering side effects associated with long term use. For every star who walks down the red carpet with long flowing locks, there are the celebrities who have suffered irreparable damage to their own natural heads of hair. Friends star Jennifer Aniston had her extensions removed and had to have a shorter haircut after the use of extensions damaged her own hair to such a degree that it was no longer repairable. Britney Spears, Naomi Campbell, Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian have all shown signs of hair loss incurred through the wearing of hair extensions.

Hair loss experts have pointed out that the occasional short term wearing of hair weaves and extensions should have no long lasting negative effects, but that sustained and continuous usage can result in hair loss problems.

Women experiencing hair loss and damage caused by hair extensions should have the extensions removed as soon as possible. A lot of women find that the damage leaves their own hair unsightly and their first thought may be to replace it with further extensions – unfortunately this will only aggravate the problem and should be avoided to prevent permanent hair loss. If the damage isn't too bad, then a visit to a  hair stylist should be enough to correct the appearance, although it may require a dramatic change in hairstyle to remove damaged hair, but over time the hair should grow back normally and healthily without having to resort to medical intervention.

Hair extensions can completely change your appearance for the better, but generally it is not a good idea to leave them in for too long.
Less can be more.

Hair Transplants

Should you have a hair transplant?
Certain male celebrities seem to have fuller heads of hair as they age, than they did when they were young!

Jude Law, Wayne Rooney, James Nesbitt, Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner have all had hair transplants, which seem to have been very successful, so do you ask yourself  "If they can do it, why can’t I?"

One reason to proceed with a hair transplant is personal vanity and just think of the self esteem boost it would give you, there is also a career angle. If you work in an industry where the accent is on youth and appearing young looking, then that could be a deciding factor on whether you go for it!

Having come to the decision that you want a hair transplant, it is wise to realise that in order to choose the best clinic and doctor for your needs, you will need to spend time doing your homework. It is a good idea to visit hair transplant forums and read through other people's testimonials and experiences.

Having this procedure is a big step to take, and you should take your time researching your options to make sure you choose a reputable establishment which has fully qualified hair transplant practitioners who will suit your particular needs.
You will also want to research the latest techniques in hair restoration so that during your consultations you can ask if the clinic offers these more up to date procedures for better hair restoration results.

Once you have decided to undergo a hair transplant it is vital to have an in-depth consultation with your doctor prior to the procedure. It is important that you have a good understanding of the procedure itself and all that is involved. But you also want to make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page and that you work together to make plans for further surgery in case of any future hair loss.

It is during the consultation that the doctor should discuss the various treatment options that are available, and both you and the doctor should be honest and upfront about any expectations or limitations relating to your hair transplant. Always discuss your wants and needs openly to make sure that the doctor has a clear understanding of what your expectations are. You should only precede with surgery once you have a realistic expectation of your hair transplant results.

A good doctor should always be very honest when discussing your procedure, whether discussing age appropriate hairlines or that transplanted hair can take between 10 and 12 months to reach full growth, or more than one hair transplant session may be required, or even that not all patients are candidates for hair transplantation.

Once you have discussed all details with your doctor and have reasonable expectations for  your hair transplant results, the chances are you will be happyto go ahead with your hair restoration procedure.

Restore your hair - restore you happiness - restore your self image !

FUE Hair Transplant - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield and Chesterfield.

FUE Hair Transplants

There is no denying that losing your hair can be a hugely distressing thing to go through.
Many men start to lose their hair at a young age. In fact, it isn’t unusual for some men to begin losing their hair in their late teens or early twenties.

At whatever age the hair loss happens, the majority of men are self-conscious about this condition, although the alternatives can sometimes seem just as excruciatingly embarrassing.

And so men, the choices are :
You can either wear a hat or cap,
Maybe try to disguise it with a Bobby Charlton style comb over
Or perhaps emerge one day wearing a toupee or a hairpiece?

None the best of ideas. It would make life much easier if your real hair could just grow back.

 And this is where the Selston Cosmetic Clinic can come to your rescue.
We can offer you the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) the most advanced hair transplant procedure available on the market today.
Developed by renowned top hair transplant surgeon Dr. Raghu Reddy.

The FUE hair transplant treatment that Dr Reddy performs at Selston Cosmetic Clinic involves taking each hair individually from the back of the head, or anywhere else on the body (chest hair and even beard hair can be used) and inserting it in to the treatment area.
Unlike previous transplant methods which involved cutting whole strips of hair away at a time, with the FUE hair transplant treatment, we take the hair follicle by follicle to insert one by one.

This gives a much more natural result, a quicker recovery time and a less painful treatment process leaving no visible scarring at the back of the head. The FUE treatment can be used for a receding hair line, a balding crown or for correcting previous bad hair transplants and scars at the back of the head. It is also suitable for women who are thinning too.

Prior to the procedure a computer digital scanning is used to identify the strongest donor follicles. This is to protect future hair loss. A local anaesthetic is applied around the perimeter of the scalp and once the scalp is entirely numb, the rest of your procedure is completely painless.
Should your procedure be an extensive one, lasting more than 5-6 hours, an additional anaesthetic will be applied before the first one wears off.

Individual hair follicles are removed separately using the micro extractor by the experienced hair transplant surgeon.
Then specific hair follicles are placed meticulously into zones of hair loss using the patented implanter pen.
The FUE hair transplant doctors use this precision implement to implant the hair to imitate the angle and direction of growth of each person's original hair which is unique to them.

There is no risk of nerve damage and new hair grows naturally in it's new location.
Up to 3,000 - 5,000 hairs can be extracted/ implanted per day. Hair extraction is simple, painless and the donor area heals within 5 days. Hair regrowth is usually seen after 16 weeks.

From the initial consultation and diagnosis by Dr. Bassi, to the procedure by Dr. Raghu Reddy and easy after care - We offer a complete bespoke service at Selston Cosmetic Clinic.

No Stitches! No Scars! No Pain!
