FUE Hair Transplants For a Full Head Of Hair - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Having a full head of hair is something that most men would like to hold on to, for as long as possible. A receding hairline or going bald affects a number of men, lowering their self-esteem, as they simply feel they would be more attractive to potential partners if they had a full head of hair.

There are a few reasons for hair loss:

Genetics
Male pattern baldness or hair loss is largely dictated by our genes, and genetics is probably the most common explanation behind why men lose their hair. It's estimated that more than 80% of cases of male pattern baldness are hereditary.
Natural hair loss
Losing some amount of hair is a natural process. From morning till night, the average adult male will lose around 100 hairs from the head, and though some of these hairs get replaced by new ones, some are not. This is all part of the natural ageing process.
Sudden or patchy hair loss
Sudden or patchy hair loss may happen because of stress, or maybe an underlying disease or condition. Alopecia areata affects about 2% of all people at some point in their life. It's an immune system disorder which causes the hair follicles to stop producing hairs. Small amounts of hair are suddenly lost in small patches. In most cases the condition is temporary and hair growth in the bald patch returns, but about 10% of those who have alopecia areata have longer-term hair loss.

A lot of men think that thick hair signifies youth and good health, but feel that thinning or balding hair suggests a body and mind that's getting old. Sometimes, this can feel like they’re fighting a losing battle and despite their best efforts, they think that nothing can stop the inevitable baldness.

Hair transplant treatment gives the client a full, natural-looking head of hair using the client’s own follicles. The doctor removes hair follicles from parts of the scalp where there's a high density of hair, and it's then transplanted into the thinning or balding areas.

The two main techniques used for hair transplants are Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) which involves two steps:

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is simple and painless. The hair follicles get extracted one by one using custom-made, precise micro-surgical tools which are less than a millimetre in diameter. The doctor extracts the hair without an incision, meaning there is only minimal discomfort after the procedure, making recovery time fast. 

Follicle Unit Transplantation (FUT) is the hair restoration procedure when the extracted hair gets transplanted into the bald or thinning areas in their naturally occurring groups of one to four hairs. For the hair-line, single hairs get transplanted and for behind the hair-line bigger groups get added for density. Each follicular unit gets extracted and transplanted with its sebaceous glands, nerve and blood supply.

For men, hair loss can cause distress and lead to poor confidence and low self-esteem and lots of them do all they can to prevent hair loss.

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!

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Hair Transplant Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Hair loss and thinning hair can cause emotional distress for anyone. A luxurious head of hair is often associated with youth, beauty, and good health, and when it starts to thin, or disappear altogether,  your confidence and self-esteem can diminish.

Hair loss and baldness shouldn't be inevitable, as we can restore your crowning glory using advanced hair transplant techniques, with very convincing results. Renowned hair transplant surgeon Dr Raghu Reddy's wealth of experience has made him a much sought after FUE transplant surgeon. His main practice is in London, Harley Street and his satellite clinic serving the North and Midlands is Selston Cosmetic Clinic.

Extracted hair waiting to be placed into the scalp

Lots of things bother us when hair loss or thinning hair starts happening:

Concerns about getting older
For many people, losing their hair causes them to look older than their years. We might feel the beginning of hair loss signals the end of youth, turning men into their dad!

Problems with hair styles
Thinning and balding men get frustrated that they can't style their hair as they want to, and it takes time and effort to camouflage thinning hair and bald spots.

Unhappy with appearance
Disappearing and thinning hair lines and bald spots can alter a person’s appearance and subsequently change the way they see themselves. When this occurs, their self-esteem can plummet, leaving them unhappy and vulnerable.

Teasing and embarrassment
When hair loss becomes noticeable on someone, they can become the object of teasing or bullying. Apparently, 60%  of all bald men get teased at some point in their lives.

Placing the follicles into the scalp

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive, precise, technically demanding hair transplant surgery procedure. In the FUE surgery, grafts get taken one by one from the back of the scalp and placed one by one into the balding areas. A graft can have anywhere between one to four hairs, the amount of grafts needed will depend on your donor site and the balding area which requires filling in.

Before the procedure, a local anaesthetic gets applied around the perimeter of the scalp. Once the scalp is entirely numb, the rest of the procedure is completely painless. Should your procedure be an extensive one, lasting more than 5-6 hours, extra anaesthetic gets applied before the first one wears off.

After hair follicles are in the scalp

The advantage is that you have no linear scars and you can have your hair very short without any noticeable scarring. Hair grows out from the donor area fairly quickly so by one week after a FUE procedure, a short beard-like growth of the hair covers most donor wounds, making the donor excisions nearly undetectable.

Thinning, Balding Hair Restored by FUE Hair Transplants - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

As women get older, they tend to worry about fine lines and wrinkles, whilst most men take the onset of crow’s feet, and other tell-tale signs of ageing, all in their stride. Men don’t tend to panic about the beginnings of frown lines, and often seem happy enough to accept the extra bit of weight they may have, as a harmless side effect of ageing. What many men do find devastating however, is the receding hairline, which can unfortunately start retreating at an early age, and, at an alarming pace.

The likelihood of men losing their hair, and how fast it will start to recede is mainly down to genes. Although there are other lifestyle factors which can play a part, such as stress, hormones and overall health, but if your father or grandfather lost hair prematurely, that is the clearest indicator that you may too.

Of course not everyone wants or needs to opt for a hair transplant, and there are some lifestyle tips and a tailored regime of medication that may help you keep the hair you do have, for longer. But in the end, you can’t argue with your genes. No amount of special shampoo, massaging the scalp or adapting the diet, will help those men who are predisposed to receding or balding.

However, hair transplant treatments have come a long way in the last few years and there is now an effective, non-invasive option that means you can get your own full head of hair back. And because it is your own hair, it looks perfectly natural, and the treatment has a 100% success rate. Dr Raghu Reddy, is the hair transplant specialist at Selston Cosmetic Clinic and one of his methods of restoring hair to a follically challenged head is the FUE hair transplant technique.

The FUE hair transplant treatment that Dr Reddy performs at Selston Cosmetic Clinic involves taking healthy hair follicles from the scalp, one by one, and grafting them into the bald areas of the head. The hair follicles get transplanted into the same slot that contained previous hair, giving it a better chance of settling in permanently. Unlike previous transplant methods which involved cutting whole strips of hair away at a time, the latest treatment, called ‘Third Generation FUE’, takes the hair follicle by follicle, to insert one by one. This makes for 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.

A healthy, full head of hair will have about three to four hairs growing out of each follicle. Someone whose hair is thinning will have three, two or even only one hair. Therefore, by assessing the number of hairs sprouting from each follicle on the scalp, and the pattern that this is in, it's possible to see whether a patient is thinning, and how any future hair loss is likely to progress.

We can also treat treat a receding hair-line or a balding crown, correct previous bad transplants and scars at the back of the head as a result of the strip surgery and it's also suitable for women who are thinning too.

This method of transplanting is very intricate and it requires special attention and care. This means the treatment gets done 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.

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.
