Medical and surgical management

Medical management: refers to drug therapy, hair mesotherapy, low-level light therapy, and platelet-rich plasma . Mesotherapy is an injection of different types of substances into the scalp.

Surgical management : when hair recovery from medical management is not possible, surgical methods are implemented to repopulate the areas devoid of hair. Although in the past, surgical methods did not allow to obtain natural results, modern hair restoration surgery does. This offers the possibility of really improving the aesthetic appearance of the affected area.

To improve the aesthetics of this area, it is necessary to implement a follicular unit graft process. These hair follicles can be obtained from any body area where there is healthy hair, that is, hair that is considered not going to show early loss.

The extraction can be performed by resection of a segment of the scalp (strip) or through the FUE technique (excision of follicular units).

This last technique can be developed completely manually or with the assistance of different types of equipment. Including the possibility of using robotic arms.

Whichever method is selected, it is usually performed under local anesthesia and offers the possibility of good results with quick recovery.
