I am 23 years of age and for a number of years have been aware of my high and wide hairline
Q. hi, I am 23 years of age and for a number of years have been aware of my high and wide hairline. This seems to be getting worse and causes me great upset. I have looked into different procedures but would be very grateful if you could make me aware and advise me of all procedures. I was also was wondering about the price of the treatments and if i would be able to recieve this on the nhs? Thanks Regards kim
A. Firstly lets start with the NHS question – in order to know if you would qualify for a cosmetic procedure and in my experience this is only a slim chance that this would approved, there are basically only two types of procedures FUE and FUT, the one that I prefer is FUE as it is a minimally invasive procedure this involves cherry picking follicules which are extracted with a special tool and then they are implanted into the area requiring density with special tools, the prcedure is painless as the area is numbed with a local anaesthetic. the areas will heal after a couple of days – 5-7 but this depends on the person. FUT is a more invasive procedure which involves removing a strip of skin from the back of the head – the donor site which is then seperated into individual follicules which are then placed in the area requiring density – depending on the doctor will depend as to whether they use special disposable tools – many don’t due to the expense involved. The results will depend on the skill and experience of the doctor in both cases doing the procedure. Results for all hair transplants have imporved dramatically over the years as technology has evolved. the hair that is placed should grow back and stay for life as it will not be effected by male pattern baldness.
