Physical trauma to
the scalp, such as from wounds from accidental cutting or impact,
thermal burns from heat or fire, chemical burns and such like can
cause permanent and irreversible hair loss. Another form of trauma
to the scalp can be in the form of elective cosmetic surgery, such
as from synthetic fiber implants, improperly performed hair transplants,
or radical scalp lifts which may result in scalp tissue death.
If any of these traumas occur, there are only two types of treatment
available to the sufferer. The first involves surgery, either the
cutting away of the injured area by performing a scalp reduction
procedure, or by placing hair transplant grafts into the scar tissue
of the injured area. The second option would be that of a hairpiece
or a full wig.
In 1984 the United States Food and Drug Administration banned synthetic
fiber hair implants. This procedure was a very popular choice for
people suffering with hair loss, and involved a procedure where
thousands of strands of fibers were implanted in the scalp to simulate
the look of real hair. However, it was often the case that within
a short period of time the “hair implant” could cause
bumps, inflammation, infection and even lead to more hair loss.
It was also very often the case that because of the contrast to
the transplantation of live hair follicle grafts, the hair implants
referred to the surgical placement of synthetic fibers, or strands
of hair, into the scalp, and this in turn lead to a severe immune
response as the body attacked the foreign substance. This has since
lead to the banning of hair implants in the United States, although
they are still legal in some other countries.
Due to the damage which can be caused by the ineffectual use of
hair implants, other procedures have been developed to try and rectify
this. One of these is the use of scalp reduction techniques whereby
the damaged scalp formed by the hair implant can be removed and
the resulting space can be stitched together. This does not mean
that the adjoining scalp will not suffer hair loss, and can also
result in a visible scar.
Since the invention of hair implants, the remedies for hair loss
have moved on significantly and many people who, in the past, would
have had to deal with the permanent loss of their hair, have now
many procedures to chose from and many of these are proven to be
successful.
