RSS FeedFuture of Hair TransplantationPosted by doctorhasson on November 23rd, 2009
I understand that future treatments may compete with current hair transplant techniques, but what do you honestly think of future alternatives—especially for those, who do not have sufficient donor hair to cover their whole balding area? How long do these people have to wait for a cure and what role will hair transplants play in future? Is there a way of even improving hair transplants? I’m sure you know something about what the future holds for us. — J.S.
The next significant technology on the horizon is hair cloning. For those patients with a limited donor area that are not presently good hair restoration candidates, cloning or hair multiplication would potentially provide an unlimited supply of donor hair to transplant. This would, of course, remove restrictions on density, coverage and hairline placement for those with limited donor supplies. The technology is still several years away. Hopefully available in the next 5-10 years. When implementing this future technology, a good result will still depend on hairline placement, angle direction control, dense packing, large numbers of grafts etc, and all the same variables, principles and techniques used in today’s modern transplant. To achieve a good result, a top clinic will still need to be part of the process.
In our clinic, the improvements in hair restoration surgery over the last 10 years have been remarkable. There may be some innovations still to come in hair transplantation, but considering the results we are producing today, the majority of those innovations have been implemented. The donor supply aspect of the surgery is the next great frontier.
