Hair Transplant In Kenya


Hair Transplant In Kenya

 

Hair Transplant In Kenya is getting common. Let’s go through the advantages and disadvantages of Hair Transplant In Kenya first.

 

There are "FUT" and "FUE" for hair transplantation in Kenya, so we first divided the advantages and disadvantages into two types.

 

FUT In Kenya

 

Using a general hair transplantation method, cut out the scalp of the occipital region and temporal region where it is unlikely to occur, and make a strain for transplantation.

Then, we plant the strain in the place of concern.

 

FUT benefits in Kenya 


  • The number of strains is larger than that of FUE, and a wide range of hair can be transplanted.

  • Cost is cheaper than FUE

  • A natural finish that you wouldn't know if you planted it artificially

  • Reliable survival rate

  • No postoperative maintenance required

 

FUT Disadvantages in Kenya


  • The wound is conspicuous

  • Postoperative pain occurs because I use a scalpel

  • Postoperative downtime required

  • Hair does not grow immediately

  • It takes about half a year to a year for the hair to become fluffy

 

FUT can be transplanted over a wide area, and the cost is cheaper than FUE. Therefore, FUT is currently the mainstream when it comes to flocking. However, since a scalpel is used, scratches will inevitably remain. You may not care so much because you can hide it with your hair, but it may be known depending on your hairstyle.

 

FUE Explanation FUE is a method of flocking hair that is not cut with a scalpel and is a method of collecting the strain by hollowing out the hair roots of the occipital region and temporal region where it is unlikely to occur with a punch of about 1 mm. I will transplant one strain at a time to the place of concern.

 

FUE Advantages

  

  • Do not use a scalpel  

  • No scars remain

  •  Can be done even if the scalp is hard and has little mobility  

  • Less postoperative pain  

  • High engraftment rate

 

Disadvantages of FUE

 

  • Half the number of strains that can be collected compared to FUT  

  • Cost is higher than FUT  

  • Advanced doctor's skill is required

 

Since FUE does not use a scalpel, it does not get scratched and pain is less likely to remain after surgery. However, the number of transplantable strains is smaller than that of FUT, and it is not suitable for wide-ranging transplantation. 

 

Furthermore, because advanced techniques such as not cutting hair roots are required, the survival rate differs depending on the doctor. Based on the above advantages and disadvantages of FUT and FUE, I will summarize the advantages and disadvantages of hair transplantation. 

 

Advantages of hair transplantation in Kenya


  • Rejection and inflammatory reactions are unlikely to occur because it is your own hair 

  • Natural hair grows  

  • Hair grows repeatedly because it is transplanted for each hair root  

  • Maintenance is not required 

  • The transplanted part is unlikely to become 

 

Disadvantages of hair transplantation


  • It takes time for the hair to grow 

  • The hair at the transplant site may come off once  

  • It is more expensive than artificial hair transplantation 
    It takes time for surgery

 

Since hair transplantation is your own hair, it is less likely to cause rejection and inflammatory reactions than artificial hair and is less susceptible to the scalp. Once the hair is transplanted, the hair cycle is performed at the roots and the hair grows repeatedly, so it can be kept fluffy semi-permanently. 

 

Artificial hair requires maintenance once every six months to a year, but hair transplantation does not require maintenance after one year of observation. Although the cost is higher than artificial hair transplantation, most clinics currently recommend hair transplantation because of its high safety and survival rate. 

 

If you are worried about flocking, we definitely recommend flocking your own hair. The cost is high and you may be worried about it, but let's plant hair at a reputable and reliable clinic.

 

Can I use health insurance? Not available?

 

Hair transplantation is the same as cosmetic surgery, and because it is treated as beauty, it is a free medical treatment and is not covered by insurance. Therefore, it will be a 100% burden. The more hairs you plant, the higher the cost. Unfortunately, the thinner the hair, the more expensive it is. About 1 million Kenyan shilling will be over, so be prepared for the cost when you go to the clinic.

 

Flocking can be considered a last resort

 

We think many people think that artificial hair transplantation and hair transplantation are the last bastions because of the cost and the difficulty of surgery. At clinics, we think that treatment with remedies will be promoted rather than hair transplantation. This is because remedies can restore the hair cycle to a normal state and improve sufficiently by simply taking it. According to the 2017 Dermatological Association's "Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss Treatment Guidelines", is it effective for each treatment? The recommendation level was as follows.

 

Recommendation Level


  • Hair transplantation B

  • Artificial hair transplantation D

 

The recommendation level was high in order from A, and the hair transplantation was "recommended" at B, which is the second-highest. However, the recommendation level for artificial flocking is D, which is considered as "should not be done". Propecia (finasteride), Zagaro (dutasteride), and minoxidil (topical drug), which are treatments, are all recommended as "A" and "highly recommended".

 

Unlike flocking, own hair

 

In the case of flocking, regular maintenance is required and you have to go to the hospital. However, since the hair that grows with remedies is natural hair, there is no need for maintenance, and you only need to brush every morning. You have to keep taking it every day, but if you take it at a fixed time every day, you can prevent forgetting to take it and take remedies as a routine.
