Is the hair transplantation’s outcome permanent and durable?

When any one lost his hairs, he feels truly depressed by hair loss must seek out the help of a mental health professional as soon as possible. When he goes for an expensive hair transplantation surgery, he thinks about the hair transplantation results. A patient always thinks that is hair transplantation surgery result’s permanent or not?

In male pattern hair loss called Androgenic alopecia is caused, initially, by diyhydrotestosterone (DHT) hormone. The thick hair follicles in the frontal scalp, mid-scalp, and vertex are susceptible to this hormone, and contact with DHT affects the follicles to dysfunction and stop producing hair. There are various hair follicles in the scalp, however, that are “extremely resistant” to DHT hormone and they fights with this hormone. These highly resistance hair follicles are located on the sides (sequential/parietal) and back (occipital) of the scalp. When transplanted, these follicles maintain their resistance to DHT hormone and do not shed the hairs or thin over the time – even when exposed to DHT in new areas of the scalp.


These follicles are continuously struggling with the DHT, but they are not totally immune and protected. This means, in assumption, they could still have a chance to shed if exposed to very high levels of DHT over an extended period of time. But, it is very rare condition in which transplanted hairs shed again. However, the thousands of victorious cases of hair transplantation surgery executed over the past 60 years confirmed the resistance and long lasting nature of the DHT resistant follicles.
