If You're
Considering Hair Replacement...
Hair loss is
primarily caused by a combination of aging, a change in
hormones, and a family history of baldness. As a rule, the
earlier hair loss begins, the more severe the baldness will
become. Hair loss can also be caused by burns or trauma, in
which case hair replacement is considered a reconstructive
treatment.
If you and your doctor have determined that hair transplants are
the best option for you, you can feel comfortable knowing that
board-certified plastic surgeons have been successfully
performing this type of procedure for more than thirty years.
If you're considering hair replacement, we will give you a basic
understanding of the variety of procedures involved. It can't
answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your
individual circumstances. You can ask if there is anything you
don't understand about the procedure you plan to have.
Non-surgical hair replacement procedures attach a thin
transparent layer of polyurethane to the scalp, forming a tight
membrane which acts as 'a second layer of skin'. The hair
replacement membrane will have previously been implanted with
human hair, customised to create a near as possible match with
the patients existing hair characteristics. These detailed
design specifications include a site specific colour match,
density selection, direction of implant, hair wave, as well as
crown and parting breaks amongst other features.
Even under close observation, at the scalp level, you'll swear
it's growing form your own scalp.
The new skin is porous. Water, heat and shampoo pass through
giving your scalp the ability to "BREATH"

Mr. Qavi Khan. At
INVISION
Even under
close
observation, at
the scalp
level, you'll
swear it's
growing form
your own scalp
The new skin is
porous.
Water, heat and
shampoo
pass through
giving your scalp
the ability to
"BREATH"
Step 1:
We start by taking hair samples of
the client. It is then carefully matched to other human hair
based on the color, texture, length and wave pattern.
Step 2:
The next step is very important
and is the key to making your new hair look so real. We create a
matrix of crisscrossing, transparent fiber
fitted and shaped to the clients's thinning area. It is
virtually invisible so it will take on the color of your skin.
Anywhere you part the hair you will see your own scalp. More
importantly, the matrix is porous. This is essential in that
water, shampoo, heat and sweat may pass through the matrix
giving your scalp the ability to "breathe". In the shower you
can actually feel the water hitting your scalp. Your own hair
can continue to grow unobstructed.
To
this matrix, your new hair is added strand by strand, by hand ,
in the same natural way that it grows. There is a spiraling on
combing your hair, we will create a part or direction of the
hair for easy styling.
What this means is that when you
brush your hair it all blends together, If someone were to touch
your hair it would feel normal. Not only is the hair easy to
style but you don't have to worry about roughing it up. your can
go swimming, biking, jogging, any where life takes you. This is
your hair!
Step 3:
Finally, you'll have one of our
experienced hair
stylists cut your hair into a style your like. We can create
dozens of different hair styles. What most clients do is bring
in photos of themselves when they had more hair or even bring in
pictures form current fashion magazines. One thing we won't do
is give you a hairstyle you don't want. We take into
consideration your age and facial structure and work with you to
give you a style that will compliment you. That's why InVision
has the reputation of being the BEST.
HOW ARE THEY KEPT ON?
Partial hair additions are attached in a variety of techniques.
Either the existing hair or the skin are the anchor sites.
CAN THEY APPEAR NATURAL?
Modern day advancements in products along with the technical
skills of an experienced specialist are essential. The most
important factor is the client him/herself. He or she must spend
the required time to keep the hair addition looking its best.
WHO SHOULD AVOID PARTIAL HAIR ADDITIONS?
Males and females undergoing chemotherapy and newly diagnosed
patients with alopecia areata should request a full prosthesis.
Due to the nature of chemotherapy, all hair will likely be lost
and a partial hair addition may be useless. With alopecia areata,
the condition may not be stable and focusing in on one area may
only be a temporary solution.
HAIR ADDITIONS IN
COMBINATION WITH HAIR REPLACEMENT SURGERY.
Temporary usage of hair additions while undergoing lengthy hair
transplant sessions is becoming increasingly popular with many
men and women who do not wish to appear "under construction"
while in public.
Many successful transplants will take from 1 to 2 years to
complete.
