You lose your hair and you do not know how to stop the fall? Ghislaine Beilin, Aesthetic Physician and Vice-President of the Aesthetic Medical Union, guest of No Rendez-vous on Europe 1, presents several solutions, including synthetic hair transplant. A method from Israel that has been authorized since July in Europe.
Hair problems, it concerns men or women?
"Both are concerned, although it is a little more in men because they already have short hair.They will even have a tendency to shave completely.Women who wear long hair they will rather use wigs .
Many factors explain this hair loss. It is the hair bulb, the hair root, that is affected because of vitamin deficiencies, iron deficiency, thyroid problems, and sometimes even after pregnancy in women. Aging also plays its role. The lack of cellular renewal is unavoidable. All of our stem cells that are supposed to remake hair are idling, so you have to reboost them. "
Before thinking about the transplant, are there treatments to deal with hair loss?
"The first step is the nutritional supplements if you have deficiencies.There are also diets that do not promote regrowth.Otherwise, to stop the hair loss, there is a drug: Minoxidil. apply on the hair, the men use it very easily, it stops the fall, but it does not push the hair. "
Precisely, to help regrowth, there is mesotherapy. What does this consist of ?
"It's a local injection technique, we will put vitamins in the hair to stimulate the scalp cell directly.In terms of price, we can go to 200 euros per session, for ten sessions spread over several months . "
There is also the hair transplant, the hair implants. How does it work ?
"A surgeon takes your own hair in areas that we know will not lose density, usually above the nape of the neck, they are cut and re-implanted where there is a lack of hair. and it's very effective, it's certainly the best technique, the disadvantage is that you have to shave and that's why the implants are mostly used in men. "
If the transplant takes place in the morning, can we return to work in the afternoon?
"In a morning, we will graft several hair at a time.For 2,000 hair, it will take four hours, with a cost around 5.000 euros.If we decide to graft on the head hair one by one, it will take After the operation, the head will have doubled in volume, there will be bandages, red dots and often a big bandage progressive Better to take a few days of vacation ... "
There is a new technique allowed since July in Europe: the graft of synthetic hair. What is it ?
"You have to know that there are patients who can not do a hair transplant, so the idea is to put synthetic hair in. Israeli researchers have developed a high-tech method to Millions of miniaturized eighths and hang synthetic hair on it (nylon suture thread) .The hair is slipped into needles and everything is automated and performed under local anesthesia.The hairdressers do not make the difference.
There is no risk of rejection, the synthetic graft works very well. It is much faster than the traditional hair transplant, there are no side effects and especially the resistance is much higher than that of traditional hair. But the price is high, it takes ten euros for a single hair.
