Crown Area Hair Transplant

Alopecia on the crown, with frontal entrances, is the most common cause of hair loss in men. The reason for hair loss is different in each case since baldness can be due to many factors, such as genetic causes, unhealthy habits, stress, or even poor nutrition.

When alopecia manifests itself, it can be both progressive and more drastic, in which case treatments, shampoos, or supplements can hardly help. With the progress of hair transplantation techniques, hair implant has become one of the most used solutions by men and women to fight against alopecia.

A hair transplant involves transferring strong hair from one part that has not suffered from alopecia to another more sparse part to gain hair density in that area.

Hair loss on the crown is widespread, so these grafts are often implanted in this part to make it a much more furnished area.

In this post, we will explain the common patterns of crown baldness and how a graft is performed in this part of the head. So we started with the cause: alopecia.

Alopecia on the crown

As we mentioned, alopecia on the crown does not have a common origin in all cases. However, indeed, most people (80-90% of cases) who develop alopecia are due to genetic causes, age, and action of male hormones, androgens. This is called androgenetic alopecia or common alopecia and can begin to manifest itself as puberty.

This type of alopecia has a pervasive pattern that focuses on the temples and crowns and is reflected in Norwood’s famous scale of baldness classification in men according to their areas. Following this scale, hair reduction in the crown appears in type III, almost always related to the entries. This loss of hair in the back of the scalp is common in the rest of the models: type IV (greater loss in the upper part), type V (the part which unites the crown with the upper part narrows), type VI (unpopulated entrance and crown area) and type VII (there is only one band of hair from ear to ear at the back of the head and this is alopecia the most acute).

Some tips for disguising alopecia of the crown

Several tips help to conceal baldness in the crown, which appears in many cases in the thirties. The most common for a depopulated crown is to try to cover this area with the rest of the hair, such as a hairstyle back.

The haircut can also help disguise, cutting the sides more to compensate for volume. And as the volume is precisely what you want to look for, it is not advisable to use hair gel that crushes the hair since the unpopulated crown will be much more visible in this case. The most popular option when baldness reaches the crown is to shave the head with a razor, adopting a new look.

Alternative to baldness: Crown hair transplant

For those seeking to recover lost hair in the crown area, there is an effective alternative to hair micrograft, with techniques as advanced as FUE, used in most cases to treat the problem of alopecia in the body, crown, and frontal entries.

The FUE hair transplant technique is based on extracting follicular units from an area without alopecia (donor) to an area with less hair (recipient). These implanted follicles, which can contain 1 to 4 hairs, develop normally, and as the patient is the donor himself, the results are very natural.
