At Ihya Aesthetics, we understand how hair loss can impact your confidence and self-esteem. Whether caused by genetics, lifestyle, or medical conditions, hair loss is a concern for both men and women. In partnership with the world-renowned EsteWorld, we offer state-of-the-art hair restoration treatments designed to restore your hair, confidence, and well-being.
Hair loss can occur for a variety of reasons. Some of the most common causes include:
Male pattern baldness is typically classified using the Norwood Scale. Understanding the stage of hair loss helps in selecting the most appropriate treatment.
Women typically experience more diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp, which can be classified using the Ludwig scale.
This non-invasive treatment focuses on cleansing and hydrating the scalp. It promotes healthier hair growth by delivering growth factors and peptides directly to the scalp. HydraFacial Keravive is ideal for improving scalp health and boosting the effects of other hair loss treatments.
Minoxidil is a widely used topical solution that helps to slow hair loss and stimulate new hair growth. It works by improving blood flow to the hair follicles and is most effective in the early stages of hair loss.
Finasteride is an oral medication that blocks the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in men. It’s a powerful option for treating male pattern baldness but is not suitable for women.
This non-invasive treatment uses low-level light to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. It can be used on its own or as part of a post-transplant care plan.
FUE is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) and implanted into areas where hair is thinning.
How the FUE Procedure Works:
DHI is an advanced version of FUE that allows for even greater precision in hair placement. Using an implanter pen (Choi pen), the surgeon implants the hair follicles directly into the scalp without the need for pre-made incisions.
In the traditional FUT method, a strip of scalp is removed from the back of the head, and individual hair follicles are then extracted from this strip. While FUT can transplant a large number of grafts quickly, it leaves a linear scar and requires more recovery time.
Compared to FUT, both FUE and DHI are less invasive techniques that avoid the need for large incisions and minimise scarring. DHI and FUE focus on extracting individual follicles, which leads to quicker recovery, less visible scarring, and more natural-looking results. While both DHI and FUE are more labour-intensive and costlier than FUT, they are preferred by patients who want a modern, advanced procedure that offers minimal downtime and more precise results.
The main difference between DHI and FUE is the implantation process. While FUE requires the creation of pre-made incisions before the follicles are implanted, DHI uses an implanter pen to directly implant the follicles without the need for prior incisions. This gives DHI an edge in terms of precision, especially for more delicate areas like the hairline. However, it’s important to note that DHI is typically more time-consuming and can be more expensive than FUE.
