What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss is commonly caused by a hormonal condition known as androgenic alopecia. This occurs when hair follicles become resistant to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for triggering hair loss. While this condition cannot be reversed, hair restoration treatments like hair transplantation offer a solution by moving healthy hair follicles from areas where hair growth is still strong (typically the back and sides of the head) to thinning or balding areas. Other factors, such as medical conditions, medications, or stress, can also contribute to hair thinning. A thorough consultation with Dr. Leong will include a review of your medical history, and he may recommend tests to determine the underlying cause of your hair loss.

When Should I Consider Hair Restoration Surgery?

Many people seek hair restoration surgery as soon as they notice hair thinning or bald spots. However, it’s important to note that hair loss tends to progress over time. If you undergo surgery too early, you may find that hair loss continues in other areas, requiring future surgeries. Dr. Leong will assess the extent of your hair loss, your family’s history of baldness, and your long-term goals to determine the right time for your procedure.

Hair Restoration Techniques: FUE and FUT

At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer the latest in hair restoration techniques, including Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). Both methods are highly effective, and each has its benefits. FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles and implanting them in the thinning areas, providing a more minimally invasive approach with no linear scar. FUT, or the strip method, involves removing a strip of hair from the donor area and dividing it into individual grafts for transplantation. During your consultation, Dr. Leong will explain the pros and cons of each technique and help you decide which method is best for your needs.

Do Products Like Rogaine® Work?

While products like Rogaine® and topical or oral medications are not cures for baldness, they can help to slow down hair loss and encourage thicker hair growth. Dr. Leong may recommend these products as part of your post-surgery plan to promote optimal hair growth after your transplant.
