Sometimes people come to the clinic whose “hair situation” is different than usual.
Personally, as a doctor, I think this is the nicest situation, because it often involves more creative thinking.
Hair transplants are increasingly performed in our clinic for transgender people.
A very nice and specialist treatment that should only be performed by doctors who have done this type of hair transplants before.
Hair transplants with transgender people
A boy who wants to become a girl or vice versa.
As a man you can get a crown or temples. If you then decide to go through life as a woman, the loss of hair in those areas can make you feel unwell. We can, of course, ensure that solutions are sought with a hair transplant.
Many transgender people opt for a solution for their hair loss by wearing a wig, but this can cause skin problems in many people. With a hair transplant there is hardly any chance of developing skin problems, but you also have hair to which you can attach extensions.
How does a hair transplant generally work?
Broadly speaking, there are two treatment methods against baldness in general: the FUT and the FUE method. We consciously choose the FUE method. With this method we remove hair follicles including healthy hair with a small punch and plant so-called “grafts” back into the skin elsewhere. With this method, less pain is experienced, it causes virtually no blood loss or swelling and leaves almost no scars. By applying this FUE technique / method also to the eyebrow, we notice that clients have much less blood loss during treatment.
During the free consultation
Before a transplant can take place, it is very important that the skin is examined by the doctor. This is done during a free consultation by the eClinic doctor. This is necessary to determine whether the thinning of, for example, inlets or crowns is caused by a skin disease. Certain skin diseases can also cause hair loss.
How are transgenders affected?
What should one pay attention to, after the treatment?
Depending on the type of treatment, it is often possible to work again the following week. The skin will then look calm, if people were in pain it will usually disappear after a day. Sometimes a transplant causes itching with some scaling. You can treat this by spraying with a special liquid that you can get from us.
At eClinic we are available to our clients 24 hours a day. Three checkups are performed, all of which take place up to one year after treatment. In this way we can assist and followup.
A hair transplantation with transgenders is a very specialized treatment in the field of hair transplants, eClinic is one of the better clinics that offers this treatment.
So are you transgender and would you like to have a look at the possibilities for your specific case?
