Hair transplant – how much does it cost?

Hair transplantation is an innovative method of restoring hair density and attractive appearance. There are reputable clinics in Poland that specialize in hair transplantation, offering high-quality services. However, before you decide to undergo the procedure, it is important to understand the factors that influence prices and the need to focus on the quality of the service.

Hair transplant in Poland – prices

Hair transplant prices in Polish clinics may vary depending on several factors. Check out what influences the cost of the procedure:

Degree of baldness and transplant area
The price of a hair transplant usually depends on the degree of baldness and the size of the area that needs to be transplanted. The larger the area to be covered, the more time and work the medical team must devote. The number of grafts required has a direct impact on the price. You need to consult with an experienced hair transplant surgeon to determine the area to be treated and to come up with possible results.
Transplantation method (FUE or FUT).
The choice of hair transplantation method depends on the individual patient’s situation. The FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) method is more time-consuming and requires more commitment from the clinic. Hair follicles are taken from the donor area. In contrast, hair transplantation using the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) method involves taking a piece of skin from the scalp area (usually the occipital part of the head). Either method is effective when an experienced surgeon performs the procedure. The final choice is up to the patient, after consultation with the doctor.

Clinic experience
Hair transplantation is a very popular procedure. Patients opt for the procedure for a variety of personal reasons. Over the years, hair transplantation has become available to everyone, not just a select group of the wealthiest people. Increased interest in effectively getting rid of the problem of baldness has led to the emergence of more clinics offering the service. Clinics with many years of experience and effectively established reputation may offer higher prices, due to the quality of the service and qualified medical team. Therefore, when deciding on a procedure, it is worth checking patient testimonials and the qualifications of the doctors.
Equipment and technology
Clinics that offer modern equipment and technology may command a higher price. This guarantees better results and higher comfort of the service offered to the patient.

What to pay attention to when choosing a clinic?

The choice of the clinic where you are going to undergo hair transplantation surgery should not be based on price alone.

Plasmafy

www.plasmafy.pl

I would like to introduce the latest development in regenerative medicine and the use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) – a preparation designed for topical application of PRP and how to prepare it in a clinical setting.

Plasmafy serum allows the use of a myriad of endogenous growth factors that stimulate collagen production, improve delicate vascularization, follicle health and restore the hair follicle cycle.

The idea of topically administered PRP (Plasmafy) was developed by Dr. Kay Linker PhD in 2019 in the United States, while as a hair transplant surgeon I saw great potential and decided to incorporate the product into my hair restoration surgery practice.

It is also not insignificant that Plasmafy can be used to both treat hair loss and is very effective in the healing process of donor and recipient areas after hair transplantation.

Before Plasmafy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments were only available in a doctor’s office. This product is revolutionizing the field of hair loss by bringing personalized medical-grade PRP treatments to everyday use.

Plasmafy topically applied PRP is characterized by its non-invasiveness and lack of discomfort associated with the injection itself.

Plasmafy’s serum enables the use of a myriad of endogenous growth factors that stimulate collagen production, improve delicate vascularization, follicle health and restore the hair follicle cycle.

Plasmafy is made with only the highest quality ingredients that are safe and effective for all skin types and textures/ scalp.

The pure, natural ingredients in Plasmafy support PRP and scalp health. Specialized sugars (monosaccharides, glycans) and proteins that support cell health sustain the release of growth factors for 3 months and potentially longer after PRP collection.

Plasmafy uses advanced cell culture techniques to preserve platelet life and function (growth factor release). This is done through essential ions, buffers, amino acid mixture and protective reagents.

Below is a graph of the stable release of growth factor from PRP, sustained by our cell-stabilizing cocktail.

PDGF release from PRP with and without Plasmafy Serum support. PDGF (Platelet Derived Growth Factor) is a canonical growth factor that is an indicator of platelet health and overall growth factor release. The use of supportive glycans, amino acids and ions increases the release of PDGF with PRP over time compared to PRP alone.

Since PRP is made from your blood, there is no immune reaction observed with exogenous growth factors, and the beneficial effects of these growth factors are effectively taken up by the appropriate cells – dermal papilla and epithelial cells. This makes Plasmafy an excellent hair loss treatment line for patients looking for an everyday product.

It should be mentioned that platelet-rich plasma administered in the traditional manner is still an excellent gold standard and should be used as a component of hair loss treatment and scalp regeneration after hair transplantation. However, it is an invasive method and requires injection of the product into the scalp immediately after preparation.

In contrast, the daily delivery of a patient’s once-prepared plasma containing their own growth factors as a solution without the need for injection, this makes Plasmafy an excellent hair loss treatment line for patients looking for a daily product.

Overwiew

Hair loss is a common occurrence in women, more so than commonly realized. By the time women reach middle age, probably over 50% of them experience some degree of hair loss.  This is not properly recognized since women often conceal their hair loss using various methods such as styling, extensions, and cover-ups.  Hair loss can have a greater impact on women because it is less socially accepted than it is in men. When men experience hair loss, even though they may not like it, they appear like men who are experiencing normal hair loss.   When women’s hair starts thinning, they may start looking abnormal, almost as if they are unwell.

Women can be treated for hair loss…… but the approach   can be more involved than it is for men for a few reasons, including the following

• There are more causes of hair loss in women than men, and these causes need to be worked up.  Sometimes there are multiple factors contributing to hair loss, and they each must be addressed and treated to have the maximum benefit.
• Women’s hair is more “fragile” than men’s and very susceptible to shedding (telogen effluvium) after stressful physical and mental situations.  For example, after an operation, severe illness,  or even just a  high fever, many women will go through a phase of hair loss. The process is usually due to a process called Telogen effluvium.  In many, this hair loss will begin to resolve about 3-4 months after the stress is gone and can take up to a year to resolve totally.  In others who are less lucky, it may only partially resolve, or  does not resolve at all.   This is more commonly true if they have another associated cause of hair loss, such as female pattern hair loss for example.
• Until recently, the medical treatment options for women has been more limited and less effective than the medical treatment available for men.   However, recently this situation has improved.
• Hair transplant surgery is more difficult in women than in men. There is a higher risk of damaging existing native hairs due to the increased sensitivity of female hair. This could lead to post-surgical shedding and hair loss

All these issues need to be evaluated and addressed when treating a woman with hair loss.

The good news is that many women can be helped depending on the specifics of the situation and what is found.  In addition, newer medical treatments and improvements in surgical technique have made more women candidates.  The key is a thorough and systematic evaluation to determine what can be done.

THE MORE COMMON CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS IN WOMEN                  (This is not a complete list)

Metabolic & Nutritional Causes of Hair Loss in Women

• Vit D deficiency:  There is an epidemic of Vit D deficiency in the USA.  Over 40% of the population is felt to be Vit D deficient.  Vit D is now thought to be involved in many bodily functions.   Low Vit D not only causes hair loss but many other problems, including osteoporosis, depression, fatigue, poor wound healing, etc. Normal levels can range from are stated to be from 30-120 ng/ml, so many patients feel they are ok with a level of 30-40ng/ml     However, recently it has been felt that for proper hair health, it should be 50-70 ng/ml

• Iron deficiency:  Iron deficiency is also very common in women…especially during the childbearing years when they lose iron every month due to menstruation.  However, many women are iron deficient post-menopause because they never replaced the iron they lost when younger  Just like Vit D, it is sometimes misdiagnosed due to poor interpretation of tests like blood iron levels.  What needs to be measured is Iron storage levels which can be very low even while blood iron levels are normal.  In order to measure this, we need to measure Ferritin, which measures body storage levels of iron.  Just like Vit D, the “normal” range is said to be forum 30-100 but one needs levels of 50-70 for proper hair growth.

• Hypo or Hyper Thyroid disease:  Both can cause hair loss and are common in women.

• Folate and B12 Deficiency:  With vegetarian diets and extreme weight loss diets, this can occur not infrequently.

• Hyper-androgen states:   Androgens like testosterone, progesterone, and DHT can increase hair loss.  Testosterone and DHT are the most common causes of hair loss in men.   The most common cause of a hyper androgen state in women is Poly-Cystic-Ovaries (POC) which causes an increase in progesterone.    Another cause could be taking birth control pills that have a higher progesterone/ estrogen ratio.

• Medications with the side effect of hair loss:  This must be looked at

Primary Hair Disorders That Can Cause Hair Loss in Women

• Telogen Effluvium:  This is a situation where a patient’s hair is triggered to go into the “telogen phase” (resting phase)  of the normal hair life cycle and shed.  It is not an uncommon situation for women. It can cause by physical stress, emotional stress, illness, etc.   It is the common mechanism of action for many metabolic conditions  (Vit D, Iron deficiency, hypothyroidism)  and other fairly common stressful conditions (ie, after a major surgery, major illness, extreme diet, depression, etc.   Often if the underlying stress or condition is resolved, the hair can grow back…. however, not always.    Sometimes the Telogen Effluvium resolves but the process may unmask an underlying Female pattern of Alopecia (see below), resulting in the hair loss not resolving completely.
• Female Pattern Alopecia (Genetic):  This is the most common cause of hair loss in women.  It can be mild (Type 1) moderate (Type 2) or sever (Type 3) as seen in the photo below.
