Can Hair Transplant Fix Crown Baldness?

The most common hair loss among men is the crown baldness also known as the vertex baldness. It tends to manifest itself as loss of hair or baldness on the top back part of the head. The question on the mind of many is: Can hair transplant fix crown baldness?  The answer is yes. One of the best uses to regain lost hair in this area is a crown hair transplant which is permanent. This is a guide on how crown hair transplants work, the outcome, cost, recovery and what should be expected in the process.

What Is Crown Baldness?

The cause of the development of crown baldness is typically male pattern baldness known as androgenetic alopecia. It develops when follicles of the hair in the head region get sensitive to a hormone known as DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Through time such follicles reduce, resulting in thin and weak hair until they no longer grow. The crown region is also problematic to treat as the crown hair is spiral in nature and this direction and angle matters during surgeries.

Is a Hair Transplant the Answer to Crown baldness?

Yes, a hair transplant is capable of treating the baldness of the crown. It operates under the principle of transplanting healthy hair follicles(normally the back or sides of your head of the donor region and implanting them to the bald crown region.This is done in two major ways:

• FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): It is the removal of a stripe of scalp, and its division into grafts.
• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): It is a procedure in which the individual follicles are extracted and inserted in the crown. The two treatment produce natural results when done by experienced surgeon.

The Need of Skill in Crown Hair Transplant

The growth is spiral in the crown area, hence, it needs accurate placement of the grafts to produce natural results. The surgeon should make sure that the direction and density of hair is designed well to resemble the other hair. This is the reason why one should go to a reliable clinic like Royal Hair Transplant where trained specialists can offer an individualized treatment.
