Three main types of Alopecia predominately found in developed countries are:

Androgenic Alopecia [AGA]

Androgenic Areata [AA]

Chemotherapy-induced Alopecia[CIA]

Location: California,USA

California is positioned on the west coast of North America. It is the largest US state population wise, and the third largest areawise. California offers something for everyone:

Southern California is dwelling place to such popular attractions as Disneyland, Hollywood and the beaches in Malibu that inspired the television show Baywatch,

The northern part of California furnishes the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, the hills of San Francisco, the vineyards of Napa Valley, Silicon Valley, and the capital, Sacramento.

Outside California’s major cities one discovers some of North America’s most rugged national parks, incredible skiing/snowboarding opportunities, and quiet and ancient northern forests including the highest mountain peak in the contiguous USA, Mt. Whitney.

What is the cost of hair transplant in California, USA?

The hair transplant cost in California, USA varies widely depending on various factors depending on the unique goals of every patient, the particular region targeted, the treatment used and the face, age and other factors of each patient.

For FUT/FUE, the price is mostly determined by the number of needed grafts for covering the bald region. The price per graft ranges anywhere from $6 to $12 per graft and the number of needed grafts for routine hair transplantation which can also vary widely, but ranges from a few hundred grafts for small bald patches to many thousands.

FUT is cost tend to sit lower than FUE, with grafts ranging from $3 to $6 per graft.

Besides FUE and FUT, there are several other natural therapies like platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or even a combination of techniques.

So, the overall cost of a hair transplant is usually somewhere between $12,000 to $30,000 or more. The comparative cost of hair transplant in India is only 25%, the reason being the low cost of labour charges and availability of economical medical products.

The hair follicles (HF) are a complex mini-organ embedded in the skin and composed of the papilla, matrix, root sheath and bulge, termed dermal papilla. Structures closely associated with the HF are sebaceous glands, apocrine glands, the arrector pili muscle and mechanoreceptors that respond to touch. The figure below shows the anatomy of the HF. There are between 250,000 and 500,000 HF on the human scalp and as many as 5,000,000 on the whole body.

The skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving to protect the body from dehydration and environmental insults. Such insults include mechanical and chemical stressors, as well as microbial infection. The skin is composed of three main layers:

the epidermis,

dermis

hypodermis;

as well as appendages such as hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands.

The epidermis is a stratified, squamous epithelium that is primarily composed of keratinocytes. Epidermal keratinocytes originate from populations of epidermal stem cells that are continuously maintained and undergo terminal differentiation throughout life.

The dermis underlies the epidermis and is predominantly composed of fibroblasts that produce collagen, providing protection from mechanical stress.

The deepest layer of the skin is the hypodermis and is composed of lipid-secreting adipocytes.

Hair follicles are composed of both an epidermal and dermal component, with reciprocal signalling between the two layers pivotal for hair follicle induction and maintenance.

Hair follicles are not only of cosmetic importance, but are important in skin sensation, protect against environmental insults, and their associated structures provide essential lubrication for the skin.

In addition, hair follicles have been shown to serve as a source of stem cells that contribute to skin healing after wounding.

Hair follicle induction and maintenance occurs through a complex interplay between the dermal component of mesenchymal origin known as the dermal papilla (DP), and the epidermal stem cell population found in an area known as the hair follicle bulge.

The hair follicle has a unique ability to regenerate completely and continually throughout the entire life of a mammal, and has therefore elicited substantial interest as a “miniorgan” to investigate stem cell modulation in tissue regeneration.

Hair regeneration and cycling has been investigated for decades, yielding numerous proposed molecular pathways in mesenchymal-epidermal interactions. However, as more is discovered regarding the integral signalling pathways, new questions continually arise.

What is Hair Loss or Alopecia?

Hair grows in basically three phases:

Anagen (actively growing, around 90 % of hairs),

Catagen (degeneration, less than 10% of hairs) and

Telogen (resting, 5% to 10% of hairs). It is in the Telogen Phase that the Hair is shedded.

Hair loss may often lead to physiological distress and can have a significant effect on the patient’s quality of life. In general, at first, Patients visit their family physician with diffuse or patchy hair loss. There are different types of alopecia (Hair loss), some important types are:

Androgenetic Alopecia (AA) –It is the most familiar type of alopecia which is found in more than 80% cases. It is linked with the genetics of the patient and shows progression in a fixed pattern. This type of alopecia can be diagnosed clinically and are treated with minoxidil. White patients are most affected by this form of alopecia followed by Asians and African Americans, then Native Americans and Eskimos. The incidence gives an approximation of the age in Caucasian males, with 50% affected by 50 years old and up to 80% affected by 70 years old. In females, the disorder is quite common, with an increase in incidence after menopause stage.

This type of alopecia is best evaluated by a dermatologist. It occurs worldwide in men and women of all ages.

Alopecia Areata (ACD) – “Alopecia” has been derived from Latin term meaning baldness, and “areata” means “patchy” hair loss. This type of alopecia is diagnosed by typical patches of hair loss and is self-limited. It affects about 6.8 million people in the U.S. with a lifetime risk of 2.1%. People of all age groups and ethnic groups may suffer from this type of alopecia.

Tinea Capitis – This type of alopecia causes patches that may be erythematous and scaly and so it must be treated systemically. Tinea capitis is the infection of the scalp hair caused by dermatophyte fungi and occurs predominantly in children.

Telogen Effluvium (TE)- This is nonscarring, noninflammatory alopecia of relatively sudden onset caused by physiologic or emotional stress. Once the precipitating cause is removed, the hair typically starts growing. It is generally considered as the second most common form of hair loss.
