Hi Readers Here's Your Hair Loss Newsletter

How Skull Expansion Explains Successful Hair transplants Some people ask me: If skull expansion causes hair loss, how do you explain the success of hair transplant operations? It's a good question. Follicles from the back of the head (occipital region) transplanted to the balding (MPB) region can successfully grow hair. But, follicles from the MPB region transplanted to some other part of the body do not. Why? I believe there are a number of reasons: First of all, at the time of a transplant, a patient will already be experiencing severe hair loss. This indicates that, in the area which will receive the transplant, skull expansion has probably already fully developed * and so no more (or very little) bone growth will occur following the procedure. * Obviously the skull doesn't keep growing indefinitely, this process does eventually stop: the extent to which it grows depends upon skull shape. This also explains why some people will lose nearly all their hair whilst others lose hair in just one area (e.g., receding temples) or to a lesser extent (e.g., thinning hair). So, if either existing MPB region follicles can be rejuvenated or healthy donor follicles/follicular units are transplanted to this area, normal healthy hair will be produced. However, hair transplantation is a complicated process, so there's a lot more to it than that. Transplanted follicles are avascular (i.e., without blood vessels) and must successfully stimulate angiogenesis (new blood vessel generation) if they are to survive. Follicles transplanted from the occipital region can successfully stimulate angiogenesis because: 1. They are healthy and active, vigorously producing hair. 2. They are normal sized, not miniaturized. This means that, when inserted, they should be slightly closer to the microcirculation (blood supply) beneath the follicle than are the remaining (miniaturized) follicles in the MPB region. 3. They have a small protective layer of brown adipose tissue (brown adipose tissue). Brown adipose tissue is a type of fat (the other type being white adipose tissue) and has already been explained in a previous newsletter. If you missed it you can find out more from the following page: http://www.top-hair-loss-remedy.com/brown-fat.html Brown adipose tissue (or brown fat) accumulates around the follicles of healthy actively growing hair (such as in the occipital region), but not around dormant follicles such as in the MPB region. And it's been observed that the transplant technique known as follicular unit extraction (FUE) often lacks the protective layer of fat that other transplant techniques manage to extract from the donor site. In consequence of this, poor hair growth may result. Also, studies have been made that link brown fat to angiogenesis. So, for all these reasons, it is likely that brown fat assists in hair growth. The picture below shows hair follicles penetrating deep into the fat layer, and the blood supply beneath it, in a healthy region of the scalp. Follicles transplanted from the MPB region to some other part of the body cannot adequately grow hair because: 1. They are weaker and less active than follicles from the occipital region. 2. They are miniaturized and so will be further away from the microcirculation when inserted. 3. They do not carry any supportive adipose tissue. Angiogenesis and healthy hair growth are, therefore, much less likely to succeed. So, I would suggest that these are the reasons why transplanted follicles can grow hair in one region but not in another. Rather than suffer the trauma of surgery, I believe the most effective way to beat hair loss is to treat the underlying cause: skull expansion. Many men and women are now using the techniques I developed to successfully stop their hair loss and restore normal hair growth again.
