5. Harmful effects of hair transplantation

Human hair is like any other tissue in the body - it can be transplanted, and many people watch the adverts for hair transplants and learn about the benefits of hair transplants, but they still have a lot of questions. For example, what are the dangers of hair transplantation?

5.1. Hair follicle damage

After some people have a hair transplant, raised bumps appear in the area where the hair transplant was done, and they are particularly painful. It is only when they go to the hospital for examination that they realise that the damage to the hair follicles is caused by the poor technique of the doctor and the improper selection of the tools when doing the hair transplant.
Damaged hair follicles not only can not survive, but will not grow new hair, which will directly lead to hair transplantation and the previous hair density is not uniform, and looks very unnatural.

5.2. Numbness at the back of the head

Some people may feel numbness and pain in the back of the head after hair transplantation. This is because hair follicles in the back of the head need to be cut off during hair transplantation surgery, so the nerves in the back of the head will be slightly damaged. Once the damage occurs, some hair transplant patients may feel numbness and pain after the hair transplant.

5.3. Post-operative infection

Hair transplant surgery involves cutting the skin to extract the hair follicles, a process that can lead to the appearance of wounds. If the surgeon does not pay attention to the sterilisation of the implantation instruments, it may lead to postoperative infection, which is usually manifested by redness and pain.

5.4. Post-operative swelling

Some friends in the hair transplant will appear after the phenomenon of postoperative oedema, the cause of postoperative oedema after hair transplantation is because of the surgical process of injection of saline some of the saline is not absorbed promptly and is caused by the general 3 days after oedema can automatically subside.

5.5. No hair growth in the hair transplantation area

Hair transplantation may lead to harm if the hair extraction site does not grow hair, because the hair follicle tissue is a non-renewable resource, once the hair transplantation planting takes away the back of the head of the hair, then it will not grow out again.
However, hair transplants do not have to worry too much about this harm of hair transplantation, because the number of hair follicles in the back of the head is three times more than in the front, so even if the hair follicles no longer grow hair, it will not affect the overall appearance of the image of the hair.

5.6. Hair loss in the hair transplant area

Some people complain about the danger of accelerated hair loss after a hair transplant this is due to changes in the growth environment of the hair follicles, and hair follicles extracted from the dermis, by the outside world make some of the hair follicles shed ahead of the cause. Generally, the shedding will stop within three months, and the hair follicles will grow new and healthier hair.
Many people mistakenly think that hair loss at the site of hair transplantation is also a hazard of hair transplantation the hair will grow while shedding, the overall thinning effect is not very obvious, and no harm to the image. Therefore, hair transplant patients do not need to worry too much about this hazard.
