Advanced Hair Transplant Bellevue | The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery

Hair loss and a change in the shape of the hairline are nearly inevitable for men as they age. Starting from the front of their head, the hairline slowly recedes back and sometimes takes on a U or V-shape. Left to continue, a man may eventually go bald on the front and top of the head, retaining hair only on the back and sides. A hair transplant and other hair restoration procedures can help men keep their hair longer and maintain a youthful-looking hairline. The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery performs the best advanced hair transplant in Bellevue and Kirkland.

Understanding Male Pattern Baldness

The most common reason men endure a receding hairline is male pattern baldness. This form of genetic baldness occurs in most men as they age. Following a pattern involving the hairline moving backward from the temples and forehead, it can start as early as 18.

The reason male pattern baldness occurs is because the hair on the front and top of the head is sensitive to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone—an androgen that is important to male development and is found in higher concentrations in men. Thus, the hair in these areas begins to fall out as DHT in the body reaches its highest point in late adolescence and early adulthood.

The hair on the back and sides of the head; however, is resistant to DHT and will not be lost due to male pattern baldness. This creates an opportunity to use this hair to restore the DHT-sensitive hair on the top and front of the scalp. Hair transplantation surgery uses this philosophy to create long-lasting hair restoration results.

Women can also experience pattern baldness, but it will usually start on the top of the scalp near the hair part. It is also not as common in women and less likely to be overly severe.

Other Hair Loss Causes

Hair loss can have several possible causes outside of pattern baldness. In some cases, various hair restoration methods may be able to also address these other forms of hair loss. But, often, lifestyle changes or other treatments may provide better results. Dr. Jonov can help patients determine the cause of their hair loss and if an advanced hairline transplant would benefit them.

Other possible causes of hair loss include:

Medical conditions
Medications or medical treatment
Malnutrition
Stress
Hair damage
Injury to the scalp
Aging

Advanced Hairline Transplant Techniques

Advanced hairline transplant uses specialized equipment and methods to personalize the hair restoration process. Below is a rundown of the treatments frequently included in advanced hairline transplant in Bellevue.

FUE Hair Transplant

Follicular Unit Extraction hair transplant—abbreviated as FUE—is the most used hair transplant technique. Utilizing a punch tool, small clumps of individual hair follicles are removed from the scalp. This prevents scarring or uneven thinning in the donor areas. The follicles are then carefully transplanted into the front and top of the scalp to recreate the hairline and restore hair to the areas of loss.

Robotic Hair Transplant

Robotic hair transplant automates the FUE process. It also uses imaging technology to map out your hairline and identify the healthiest and best follicles for transplant. Thus, it can help promote better results by picking out the ideal hair in the donor areas. Robotic hair transplant is still performed and programmed by Dr. Jonov to fit the patient’s needs and goals.

Hair Restoration Injections

DHT can cause the hair follicles to shrink, contributing to male pattern baldness. Injections of nutrient-rich growth factors derived from the patient’s blood can help replenish the hair follicles so that they can support hair growth again. This is best done as soon as possible after the initial hair loss in the area. The procedure can also complement a hair transplant surgery in Bellevue.

Low Level Laser Therapy

Low level laser therapy can help improve circulation to the scalp and prolongs the hair’s growth phases. This helps patients retain hair and prevents damage to hair follicles. Available in at-home devices such as laser caps, low level laser therapy is a user-friendly treatment that can support the results of other hair restoration efforts.

Hair Growth Medications

Minoxidil frequently acts as one of the first-line treatments for genetic hair loss. But, it can also be used before and after advanced hair transplant surgery to improve density of the results and help prevent future hair loss. Using minoxdil and similar medications early can prolong the hair loss process, giving patients more time to undergo treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Is My Hairline Recreated?

Dr. Jonov recreates your hairline by examining your facial structure and where your hairline used to sit. From there, he will map out a hairline that makes sense for you and is achievable based on the number of grafts he will transplant. The new hairline may not fully match your original, natural hairline, but Dr. Jonov aims for a natural looking and attractive result.

Can Women Benefit From Advanced Hairline Transplant?

Yes, women can absolutely benefit from advanced hairline transplant if experiencing hair loss along the hairline on top of their head. Using a similar process, hair from the back and sides of the head can be transplanted to the areas of loss. Non-surgical options can also be explored depending on the severity of hair loss.

Is Surgery Always Required During Hair Restoration Treatment?

Not necessarily, while it is often the best treatment for restoring hair, it is not always needed. This is best evaluated during a consultation with Dr. Jonov at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery.

How Much Is Advance Hairline Transplant In Bellevue?

The exact cost of advanced hairline transplant varies based on the specific treatments used and the number of grafts taken during surgery. After examining your hair restoration needs, Dr. Jonov will provide patients with a personalized price estimate for their treatment.
