Cause of hair loss 

Hair loss is a common problem that affects men and women, and is linked to many causes that vary between genetics and health or psychological factors. Here are the most prominent causes of hair loss:

1. Genetics: Hereditary baldness is common among men and women, and it increases with age, as about 80% of men suffer from baldness by the age of seventy.
2. Physical or psychological stress, such as high fever, childbirth, surgeries, or extreme diets, leads to temporary hair loss that often stops within 6-8 months.
3. Other reasons such as:

• Alopecia: the appearance of hairless patches on the scalp, eyebrows, or chin.
• Immune diseases: such as lupus.
• Hormonal diseases: such as thyroid disease or hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause.
• Fungal and bacterial infections: such as ringworm or scalp infections.
• Bad habits: such as excessive use of hair products or hairstyles that cause excessive tension on the follicles.

The causes of hair loss vary from one person to another, which makes accurate diagnosis necessary to obtain appropriate treatment and restore hair health. Fortunately, the hair transplant method provides an effective and permanent solution to many cases of hair loss resulting from these causes, as it allows the restoration of the hair’s natural density and healthy appearance.

Am I eligible for hair transplant?

Hair transplantation is an ideal option for those suffering from hair loss or baldness, but not everyone qualifies for this procedure, as it depends on several factors, the most important of which are:

1. The presence of healthy donor areas. If you have healthy hair in the back or side of the head, you are often eligible for hair transplantation, as these areas are used as donor areas to obtain the necessary follicles.
2. Hair characteristics such as hair colour, thickness, and degree of wavy or curly hair play a big role in determining a person's suitability for the procedure and the impact of the final results on their appearance.
3. Although hair transplantation improves appearance and boosts self-confidence, the results may not exactly match your ideal expectations. Therefore, it is important to discuss your expectations with your healthcare professional before making a decision.

If you are considering a hair transplant procedure, it is best to consult a hair transplant specialist  to evaluate your condition and determine your eligibility for the procedure and the hair transplant method that is best for you based on your hair characteristics and goals.

Techniques used in hair transplantation

The method of hair transplantation varies according to the techniques used, as the available options vary based on the person’s condition and preferences. Among the common techniques:

FUE technique

It depends on extracting hair follicles individually from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the head), in which the follicles are extracted using precise tools that leave small, unnoticeable circular incisions.

FUT chip technology

In this technique, a thin strip of hair is cut from the back of the head, and then the follicles are extracted using a microscope. As a result, a fine scar is left in the donor area, but it is usually hidden under the hair.

DHI (direct hair transplantation) technique 

It is considered a modification of the FUE technique, where a pen-like instrument is used to open the channels and implant the follicles in one step. This method is very accurate and reduces the time required for surgery, so it is one of the best hair transplant techniques, and it is what Dr. Hossam Tahseen Clinics adopts - the only center accredited in Egypt by the international DHI.

DHI is the most advanced technique and is suitable for cases looking for precise results and a very natural appearance, while FUE and FUT techniques remain effective options depending on the person's needs. Consultation with a hair transplant specialist is the first step to ensuring that you choose the most appropriate hair transplant method to achieve the best results.

Hair transplantation method with the best technology (DHI)

The DHI direct hair transplantation technique is considered one of the latest and best methods used in hair transplantation thanks to its high accuracy and natural results. This method relies on the use of specialized tools that allow the extraction and transplantation of follicles directly without the need for prior incisions, which reduces the operation time and speeds up the recovery period. The following is the method of hair transplantation using DHI technology:

1. Extracting follicles
The follicles are extracted from the donor area using very fine instruments with a diameter of less than 1 mm, ensuring no damage to the surrounding tissue.

The extracted follicles are kept in a special solution with a specific temperature, which enhances their growth chances after transplantation and prevents any damage.

2. Planting bulbs
The follicles are loaded into a pen-like device known as the Choi Pen.

The follicles are planted directly in the areas suffering from baldness without the need to make incisions before planting, which reduces skin damage and ensures an ideal distribution of the transplanted hair.

3. Achieving natural results
The follicles are implanted with high precision with complete control over the depth, direction, and angle of implantation, ensuring a 100% natural appearance.

The transplanted hair grows naturally and permanently, giving the person an attractive look that is consistent with his appearance.

DHI is the best option for achieving long-lasting, natural-looking results without any major side effects. Therefore, this method is considered the ideal solution for those who want to restore their hair density in an effective manner.

Consult a doctor before the transplant

Before starting to choose the appropriate hair transplant method, consulting a doctor is an essential step to ensure the success of the procedure and achieve the desired results. During the counseling session:

• The doctor carefully evaluates the client's condition by analyzing the causes of hair loss and determining his suitability for the transplant procedure.
• Discusses with the client the options available, including the most appropriate technology, such as the advanced DHI technology, which is known for its accuracy and natural results.
• The doctor provides comprehensive guidance about the cost of hair transplantation and any additional cost considerations. This step helps set realistic expectations for the patient about potential results and discusses any concerns related to hair transplant disadvantages, such as recovery time or rare complications.

Choosing the appropriate center and undergoing a comprehensive examination by a specialized doctor ensures achieving the best results in a safe and effective manner.

In Egypt, the DHI Center at Dr. Hossam Tahseen Clinics - accredited by DHI International - is considered the ideal choice for performing hair transplantation using the latest and most advanced technologies, ensuring that you get a natural appearance and results that last a lifetime.

How do you prepare for a hair transplant?

Whatever hair transplant method the doctor suggests, good preparation before undergoing the transplant plays an important role in ensuring the success of the procedure and the smoothness of its procedures. The doctor usually provides detailed instructions to the patient that include:

• Refrain from smoking for two weeks before the procedure, because smoking affects blood flow and hinders the skin healing process. 
• Avoid certain medications and nutritional supplements that may affect the surgery, and adhere to the doctor’s instructions regarding eating and drinking before the operation.
• It is also important to arrange transportation to return home after the operation, and allocate a day or two for complete rest to ensure the body recovers best.

To get a unique experience and guaranteed results, you can rely on the DHI Egypt Center, represented by Dr. Hossam Tahseen Clinics, the only center accredited in Egypt by DHI International, as it offers you the latest technologies and global experience in hair transplantation.

DHI technology provides accurate and natural results while reducing the possibility of complications.

The cost of hair transplantation depends on several factors, including:

• The technology used.
• Number of follicles planted.
• Doctor's experience.
• Number of expected sessions.

To obtain an accurate estimate of the cost of hair transplantation based on your condition and the best experience and lasting results, it is recommended to book an appointment at the DHI Egypt Center, so that one of the specialized doctors can examine you and determine the hair transplant method that is most suitable for you and then the expected cost.

Disadvantages of hair transplantation

Although the hair transplant method is an effective solution to restore lost hair and enhance self-confidence, there are some disadvantages that must be taken into consideration before making the decision, including:

1. Although hair transplantation is successful in filling empty areas, natural hair may continue to fall out due to genetic factors or aging. This may lead to the need for additional sessions in the future to maintain the natural appearance.
2. Hair transplantation is a relatively expensive cosmetic procedure, and the cost may vary depending on the number of follicles transplanted and the technique used. At DHI centers in Egypt, hair transplant services are provided at competitive prices while ensuring the highest quality and natural results.
3. All hair transplant techniques leave scars, but these scars are usually hidden under short or long hair. As for the DHI technique, one of its most important features is that it does not leave scars.
4. People who have a severe lack of hair follicles in the donor area may not be eligible for this procedure. The condition must be carefully evaluated by a specialist doctor to determine the appropriate options.

At DHI Egypt, comprehensive consultations are provided to ensure full awareness of the advantages and disadvantages before the procedure is performed, while providing the latest technologies to ensure safe and natural results.

In conclusion, the hair transplantation method using the DHI technique is a golden opportunity to restore your natural appearance with minimal effort and best results. Although the procedure offers tremendous benefits, it is important to understand all aspects, including the cost of hair transplantation and the disadvantages of hair transplantation.
