When treating patients who suffer from hair thinning, we do not simply treat their hair loss, but also relate to their psychological state due to their hair condition.
To allay their fears and to ensure we achieve the desired result, it is vital for us to establish a personal rapport of understanding and trust and manage expectations appropriately prior to beginning treatment.
Through a combination of science and art, we strive to improve the way patients feel about themselves by improving their outer appearance. In doing so, we enhance their self-esteem as well.
You have a lot of hair … but just not in the right place!
Most people are not aware that there is no such a thing as total baldness. In almost all males, there is a kind of strip of hair, shaped like a horseshoe, at the lower area of the scalp.
The difference between the upper strip of hair and the lower strip is that the lower strip is genetically capable of growing throughout a person's life.
With the aid of new techniques, hair is carefully taken from the donor site (the rear section of the head), one or two follicles each time, and implanted in the new spots in the front part of the head.
Pain is minimal, and some patients do not feel any pain at all and are able to return to their regular routine within a few days.
Slowly and consistently hair begins to grow and fill in the areas where the hair was thin.
After a short period, the scalp becomes filled with hair.
When patients see the results, they feel younger, and this enhances their self-esteem.
During this time, the donor site heals perfectly so that even hair stylists, who are very familiar with their clients' hair, will have a hard time recognizing what has been done.
Over 90% of men go bald during their lifetime as a result of a well-known phenomenon called Male Pattern Baldness (MPB).
It is the result of a hormonal change that causes the follicular unit (hair follicles) to contract and grow slowly until the growth ceases entirely.
The hair in the chosen donor area (around the lower part of the scalp) is not in danger of the MPB, but continues to grow throughout a person's life even when the hairs are implanted into other areas of the scalp.
People develop various degrees of baldness, as is evident from the baldness chart.
What are the advantages of one physician over another when choosing to have a hair transplant?
Without a doubt, experience and qualifications are extremely important.
Dr. Ginzburg has vast experience and has performed over 3,500 successful transplants since 1990, when he began working in this field. When the transplanted hair continues to grow throughout the patient's life, the procedure is considered successful.
Vital components of transplants are the artistic side and the perfectionism displayed by the physician. Like a classical artist, he strives to reach the ultimate results; creating the perfect colors and shades to mix the existing hair with the implanted hair. Each hair transplanted is examined meticulously to create a concept of perfection and to create a natural appearance.
Dr Ginzburg cares not only for the hair's current appearance, but also about the profile and how it will look in the future.
Over the years, many actors and public figures, whose hair played a significant part of their careers, have sought the assistance of Dr. Ginzburg.
Dr. Ginzburg has produced amazing changes in the appearance of the hair of some famous figures, as well as thousands of other men and women who wanted to improve their appearance.
Dr. Ginzburg explains the process in detail and answers all questions. He also makes sure to discuss the patient's expectations and provides honest information about whether he can meet their expectations.
Taking into account certain factors, such as age, type of hair, quality of hair and the patient's lifestyle, Dr. Ginzburg can evaluate whether the patient's expectations will be met.
During the procedure, the patient receives mild sedatives, wears a gown and sits on the surgical chair.
A large percentage of patients feel no pain during the surgical procedure. After application of a local anesthetic, the follicular units are extracted surgically from the donor site and implanted into the chosen area. Dr. Ginzburg's team, which includes 5 nurses, carefully separates the follicle units with a microscope to avoid damage to the follicles.
Based on the quantity and size of the transplant, the procedure generally takes about 3 hours.
Following a brief period of rest, the patient returns home. In most cases, the patient can return to work the next day and may return to full physical activity 10 days later.
The frequency of treatments is up to the patient, but we must look at the best course for achieving the desired goal from a medical perspective.
In most cases, friends and relatives are unaware of the transplant until they suddenly realize that their acquaintance is no longer bald. The greatest satisfaction patients feel is when they see their hair grow naturally after nine months.
Today, people do not have to live with an unattractive nose and according to the same principle; they no longer have to suffer from unwanted baldness.
While looks are not everything, a simple and harmless surgical intervention can improve appearance and enhance self-acceptance and self-esteem. So why not do it?
For the past 17 years, Dr. Ginzburg invested his efforts and skills to help many people improve their self-worth.
As a dermatologist, he began transplanting hair in 1990 and was considered a pioneer in this field. In 1991 he specialized in surgical hair transplantations and has since performed thousands of transplants. |
