More than 250 million people have lost their hair. Is it possible to grow hair once and for all?

In recent years, the population of hair loss in China has shown a straight-line upward trend. On average, one in six people has hair loss, and a large proportion of them are between the ages of 20 and 40.

If you say what is the most ridiculed topic among young people, I'm afraid 'hair loss' is inevitable.

In recent years, the population of hair loss in China has shown a straight-line upward trend. On average, one in six people has hair loss, and a large proportion of them are between the ages of 20 and 40.

Can hair transplantation save the 'top event' when the age of hair loss population sinks

Mr. Yan in Beijing is 40 years old. A few years ago, he had serious hair loss due to high work pressure and irregular life, which made him feel painful and embarrassed in front of his colleagues and friends.

Consumer Yan Li: in the past four or five years, it is particularly obvious that the hair has fallen very thinly. For example, when taking a bath, you are covered with hair.

By chance, I heard from my friends that hair transplantation can make the hair loss part grow hair quickly, so I chose hair transplantation after hesitation.

Consumer Yan Li: after hair transplantation, the key is to be young. Not only the image is young, but also the psychology is young.

According to the survey of hair loss population released by the Health Commission, China's hair loss population has exceeded 250 million. It is precisely because of such a huge foundation that China's hair transplantation industry has shown a blowout development in recent years.

In addition, according to the data of an internet medical beauty platform, there are two peaks in terms of age: one is 23-25 years old, which is mainly the people who have just graduated from university and have insufficient congenital hair; The other is 34-36 years old, which mainly focuses on people with their own image and stable income.

Venus, chairman and CEO of a medical beauty platform: there are more than 4000 medical beauty institutions certified on our platform. In terms of order volume, it accounted for nearly 2% of all our online orders last year. One trend we see is that it is growing very fast, close to 40% a year.

The threshold of hair transplantation is low, and private medical institutions are the main force

In the interview, the reporter also learned that in the past, only dermatology department could treat hair loss in many public hospitals. Many people did not think that hair loss should go to see a doctor, nor did they know which department to go to. However, with the improvement of living conditions, people also pay more attention to their own image, and the number of people willing to spend money on hair transplantation increased sharply, Hair transplant technology is ripening a huge industry.

In a well-known hair planting chain in Beijing, the reporter saw that this store covers an area of 2000 square meters. It is understood that such a store can reach 14 million yuan in sales in one month.

Zhang Yu, President and CEO of a hair transplant Institution: we have about 5000 operations a month. If we use more than 30 hospitals and departments, the average hospital and department has four or five operations a day.

It is understood that at present, there are two kinds of hair transplantation technology in the market, and the cost is calculated according to a hair follicle unit. Generally, the price of a hair follicle unit ranges from 10 yuan to 20 yuan, and the number of hair transplantation is about 3000 hair follicle units, so the price of hair transplantation on the market is almost 30000 yuan. Insiders told reporters that an important reason for the continued popularity of the hair transplant industry in the past two years is the low entry threshold of the industry.

Li Xingdong, chairman of a hair transplant medical group: from the perspective of doctors' resources, many institutions still lack doctors.

Due to the relatively low technical content of hair transplantation and the insufficient number of hair departments run by public hospitals, a large number of non professionals have poured into the hair transplantation industry in recent years. Many so-called doctors have no medical license at all, and even can work in three days.

When there is a market, there will be supply. In the face of a huge consumer group, hair transplantation not only brings confidence to hair loss, but also barbaric growth and exaggerating the effect.

Jiang Wenjie, director of hair transplantation center of plastic surgery hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: what is the ratio and total amount of anesthetics? What is the amount of each injection? These require formal and rigorous clinical training. Without these training, doing these operations is very dangerous. Hair transplantation is not a universal means, it is a last resort.

Hair transplantation cannot be done once and for all, and the denser the better

There are more and more 'airports', M-shaped hairline and higher hairline on the head. The' hair loss anxiety 'puzzles more and more young people, but the rapid development of the hair transplantation industry is mixed, and many professional terms make it difficult for consumers to choose. The more dangerous may be some misunderstandings of consumers about hair loss and hair transplantation.

Although the plot of the TV play is funny, it is a true portrayal of the hair loss crowd. In order to keep their 'top event', most hair loss people will choose hair care and hair growth products. However, as far as the common androgen hair loss is concerned, the hair growth instrument and shampoo on the market can not only improve the scalp environment and fill the hair scales in the hair, but also have no fundamental effect on reversing hair loss.

Therefore, the first misunderstanding is that shampoo and hair generator can effectively treat hair loss.

Zhang Yu, President and CEO of a hair transplant organization: if you can choose a good doctor when falling off and go to the hospital for diagnosis, 60% of hair loss patients can be cured or controlled.

The second misunderstanding is that one hair transplant can be 'once and for all'. In fact, hair transplantation can not prevent its original hair from falling off, and can not fundamentally treat hair loss.

Jiang Wenjie, director of the hair transplantation center of the plastic surgery hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: your posterior occipital hair follicles are limited. It is impossible to use limited hair follicles to meet the endless backward movement of the hairline, such as alopecia areata. It is impossible to consider hair transplantation in the early stage, because if it happens again, it will all fall out.

Therefore, experts suggest that hair transplantation only changes the part of hair growth, and if patients continue to lose hair, they need to go further to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

Misunderstanding 3, do not trust businesses' so-called 'the smaller the drill bit, the better, the denser the hair transplant'. In order to improve the customer unit price, some hair transplant institutions deliberately raise the understanding threshold of consumers with various new technical terms. So that consumers pay more money. Experts said that the treatment methods vary from person to person, and the effect of hair transplantation is not the denser the better.

Jiang Wenjie, director of hair transplantation center of plastic surgery hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: young people with good conditions, about 30-40 cm per square meter (hair follicle unit); The elderly or those with poor skin conditions may be 20-30 (hair follicle units). For each patient, there is only the most suitable method, not the most advanced method.
