It is an ideal way to get rid of baldness when there is not enough hair on the scalp to cover the bald areas as it happens in cases of natural hair transplantation.

After the hair transplant

The person may suffer from some inflammation or slight pain after the operation, but the results of this operation are somewhat guaranteed compared to natural hair transplantation operations. This is because synthetic hair fibers are resistant to chemical, physical, and psychological stresses. But these results will not last forever.

Studies confirm the loss of 10-15% of the implanted artificial hair annually, and this percentage needs to be compensated continuously if you want to maintain your new look. Also, you should not expect the transplanted hairs to grow back if they fall out (as happens in the case of natural follicles). But in general, the most important advantages of artificial hair is that it will not fall due to hormones or because of your psychological state (except in rare cases), and that the results appear immediately (in the length and density desired by the person) without the need to wait and shave the hair after the operation and wait for its growth.

Steps to perform artificial hair transplantation in Pakistan

Artificial hair transplantation is a very simple procedure that is performed under local anesthesia. And this process begins with the doctor implanting about 100 artificial hairs in the scalp to make sure that there is no sensitivity. Then the doctor begins implanting the rest of the hairs for the session, which is usually in the range of 1,000 to 3,000 hairs.

There is another technique, which is making a layer of biopolymer material that matches the bald spots on the scalp of the case, and then the vital hair is manufactured so that its characteristics and color correspond to the characteristics and color of your hair, and these hairs are connected to the alternate scalp layer and then placed in place on your head. In this case, you can deal with it as part of your scalp, so you can practice daily life activities normally, and you can also cut or dye your new hair, and if I do not advise you to do this because it will not restore its color over time and also will not grow back again.

Possible risks and complications

The most important risks and complications that you can be exposed to in artificial hair transplantation are the body’s rejection of this hair, causing an allergic condition and severe inflammation. This is why the doctor tests your scalp’s response before completing the transplant.

There are also risks of bleeding, risks of wound failure, and risks of developing scarring. These risks can be minimized by selecting an experienced, trusted surgeon with the skill to make the operation successful.

The development of artificial hair transplantation operations

In 1983, the US Food and Drug Administration banned the marketing of synthetic hair fiber products for several reasons, the most important of which are summarized as follows:

1. These fibers are not biocompatible and have caused numerous injuries in a few cases.
2. This synthetic hair fiber is considered a form of fraud as a result of:

• Much misleading and deceptive information spreads about its effectiveness
• Insufficient information about its risks
• It did not provide any benefit or showed any general benefit to society

This prevention came after the emergence of a number of side effects of artificial hair, the most important of which are the following:

• Recurring scalp infection.
• The need to repeat transplantation due to the annual loss of 10-15% of the transplanted hair.
• Frequent allergic reactions, which sometimes reach severe Atopic Dermatitis.
• The spread of concerns about its association with skin cancer.
• It contributes to increasing the rate of baldness.
• The formation of cysts on the scalp.
• Spread of granular allergies and its association with synthetic hair.

However, many companies in Pakistan have continued to research and develop these products, the most important of which is the Italian company Medicap, which started marketing Biofiber in 1996, and Nido from Japan, which was founded in 1999.

Biofiber recently received approval from the European Union and allowed it to market synthetic hair products in Europe while it had applied for approval from the US Food and Drug Administration and this request is still under consideration.

These companies in Pakistan announced that they have eliminated many of the problems previously associated with synthetic hair fibers and that these products are now safe to use. Synthetic bristles are no longer made of acrylic and polyester materials as they were previously made, they are currently made of polyamide (Biofibre CE0373), a safe material that does not interact with the body. They are implanted easily and with a very simple technique through an easy-to-use implant device.

These companies continue to develop many advanced hair transplant techniques, the most important of which is the development of hair transplantation robots.
