Power Hairline® Hair Transplant

How is an Aging Hairline Diagnosed?

Our hair density, texture and color keep changing as we go through different developmental stages. Most men mature their hairline as they age and this is when the hairline changes from a juvenile/lower position to a more mature one which is slightly higher. Even non-balding men experience some change in the location and density of their hairline over time. Most middle-aged men experience a gradual drop in their hair density starting at 30-50 years of age. This process continues as a person ages and results in lower hair density and more scalp visibility in the first 2-3cm of the hairline. That is why the hairline of older men is usually not as solid as it was at a younger age.

The diagnosis of an aging hairline is simple. A hair specialist can microscopically map out the scalp for the levels of hair miniaturization. Miniaturization of hair is when a large number of hair shafts start losing their shaft thickness. Hair miniaturization that is only limited to the hairline, and not throughout a larger area of scalp, represents an aging hairline. However, if hair miniaturization continues beyond the frontal 2-3cm of hairline and involves a larger area of scalp, it is usually a sign of male patterned hair loss.

Aging hairline is seen in most middle aged men and women and it is not a surprise to hair specialists. Many people don’t mind an aging hairline. However, for the ones who want to restore their hairline to its original appearance, a hair transplant can help and we have named this procedure, “Power Hairline®”.

What Is Power Hairline®

Power Hairline® Hair Transplant is a proprietary hairline restoration procedure that focuses on improving the appearance, density, and strength of the hair in the frontal hairline. This procedure may be appropriate for anyone with an aging or fading hairline, rather than for those with more extensive hair loss.

The Power Hairline® procedure uses FUE hairline hair transplant methods, in which the hair transplant team carefully selects donor hair follicles, known as grafts, and moves them to strategic points along the hairline. The goal is to create natural-looking hairline restoration results that blend with the patient’s existing hair.

Who Is a Candidate for Power Hairline®?

The ideal candidate for a Power Hairline® Hair Transplant may have visible thinning or lower hair density in the first 2 to 3 centimeters, or around 1 inch, of their hairline. They may still have good hair density behind their frontal hairline.

Ideal candidates may include:

• Men with a mature hairline or thinning hairline
• Patients who feel their hairline looks weaker with age
• Patients who want a more defined hairline to frame their face

Booking a personalized consultation is the best way to establish whether you have an aging hairline, early patterned hair loss, or another type of hair loss. During the consultation, your hairline hair transplant team evaluates the availability and characteristics of donor hair, along with your age, goals, and long-term hair loss risk to help you determine if you are a good candidate.

Aging Hairline Versus Male Pattern Hair Loss

Over the decades, hair transplant surgeons have determined that there are several types of hair loss, including an aging hairline and male pattern baldness. The distinction between the different types is important, as the Power Hairline® Hair Transplant treatment plan for one may be different from the plan for the other.

An aging hairline is characterized by reduced hair density at the very front of the scalp without widespread thinning.

Male pattern hair loss usually involves miniaturization that extends beyond the frontal hairline. Hair miniaturization is a process in which healthy strands of hair degrade into thin, wispy “baby hairs.”

You can’t tell if you have hair miniaturization simply by looking at it, so resist the urge to self-diagnose based solely on the appearance of your hair. Your hair transplant team can perform a microscopic scalp evaluation to determine if you have hair miniaturization, and its pattern and extent.

How a Fading Hairline Can Affect Appearance

Like a picture frame, your hairline balances, anchors, and highlights your facial features. A strong hairline creates definition, whereas reduced hair density at your hairline can make your face look older or even change the aesthetic balance of your facial features. If you are like many people with a fading hairline, what you see in the mirror doesn’t match how you feel.

Many patients seek a Power Hairline® Hair Transplant at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration because they want their hairline to better match how they feel.

During your consultation, your hair transplant team will discuss your cosmetic goals, and can help you determine how a Power Hairline® may positively affect the appearance of your facial proportions.

How Power Hairline® Works

The Power Hairline® Hair Transplant process involves several steps. Each phase of the process is important.

Consultation and Hairline Evaluation

During a consultation and evaluation, your hair transplant doctor evaluates the position of your hairline, the density of hair in the aging hairline treatment area, the health of donor hair, long-term hair loss patterns, and how hair replacement affects the appearance of your facial proportions. The consultation gives you an opportunity to discuss your goals, and to learn whether Power Hairline® is the right option for you.

At Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration, we’ll create a treatment plan based on your current hair and your risk of future hair loss.

Hairline Design

Designing a hairline is one part artistry and another part medical planning. During your consultation, our hair transplant surgeon will take into account your age, the shape of your face, the caliber of your existing hair, and the direction it grows naturally. The goal of careful hairline design is to create a hairline that looks natural today and appropriate over time.

FUE Graft Harvesting and Placement

FUE hairline restoration involves moving small groups of hair follicles, known as follicular units, from the donor area to the recipient area. Surgeons place the grafts into the frontal hairline to improve density and definition. The number of grafts a surgeon places depends on the patient’s goals, the existing hair density in the hairline, supply of donor hair, and the extent of thinning.

Just prior to FUE graft harvesting, hair transplant surgeons often shave the donor area to provide better access to the grafts and to make the follicles easier to see.

Power Hairline® With Celebrity Hair Transplant™

Some patients are good candidates for a non-shaven or less detectable approach prior to a Power Hairline® Hair Transplant. This approach, known as a Celebrity Hair Transplant™, is perfect for patients who want to return to work or public life with less visible evidence that they had a hair transplant.

Unfortunately, not every patient is a good candidate for a Celebrity Hair Transplant™. Your hair transplant surgeon at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration can help you determine if you are a good candidate by assessing your hair characteristics, graft needs, and aging hairline treatment goals.

What to Expect During Recovery

Because the process is minimal and the treatment area may be more limited, recovery from a Power Hairline® Hair Transplant is typically shorter than that of more extensive hair transplant procedures. In fact, most patients can return to work the day after their procedure. Patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or minor scabbing. Every patient is different, of course, so recovery may vary.

The Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration care team provides patients with post-procedure instructions. For the best results from your procedure, follow all instructions for washing, activity, sun exposure, and styling. Please contact your care team with any questions you may have regarding your post-procedure instructions and recovery.

When Will Power Hairline® Results Appear?

Transplanted hair grows slowly, so you may not see results from your Power Hairline® Hair Transplant right away. Early changes may become visible to the naked eye within the first few months, but full results can take several months.

A few weeks after surgery, you may notice that some of the transplanted hairs are falling out. This process is known as shedding, and is a normal process after hair transplantation.

The overall timing of hair growth and shedding can vary from person to person, but most patients see hair density improve gradually in the weeks and months following their procedure.
