Hereditary hair loss can be treated through hair transplantation surgery. Hereditary hair loss is generally related to genetics and personal physical condition, and is mainly determined by genetic genes. While genetic genes are difficult to change, one can improve their physical condition to help. If necessary, hair transplantation can be performed. Hair transplantation involves extracting healthy hair follicles from one's own body, processing them artificially, and then transplanting the follicle units to the balding areas.
Hereditary hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is a type of baldness that is characterized by genetic factors and androgen dependence. It is recommended to avoid spicy and stimulating foods, reduce mental stress, maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid staying up late, and if necessary, use blood-nourishing and hair-regenerating drugs. The clinical manifestations of hereditary hair loss can occur in both men and women, but the pattern and degree of hair loss differ. In men, it mainly occurs on the forehead, temples, and crown; while in women, it occurs on the top of the head and is diffuse. Hair loss occurs when normal terminal hair follicles transform into vellus hair follicles, growing fine and soft hair, and in the later stages, the follicles atrophy.
The traditional method of hair transplantation is called FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), which involves surgically removing a strip of skin from the back of the head, separating the hair follicles under a microscope, and then transplanting them to areas with thin hair. This method can cause significant trauma. In recent years, a new method called FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) has emerged. Compared to traditional surgical methods, FUE uses a very fine extractor to directly extract individual hair follicles and then implants them into areas with sparse hair. The operation is simple, requires no surgery or suturing, and the healing time is very fast. Therefore, FUE is the new trend in hair transplantation in recent years.
