Hair Transplant for Receding Temporal Point

Temporal point hair transplant

A receding hairline often does not affect the entire forehead. Hair loss in men is first noticeable at the temples resulting in an uneven or M-shaped hairline. The corners of the forehead, the temporal points, help to frame the face. With loss of hair in these areas, the hairline appears higher and less defined.

A temporal point hair transplant can restore hair along the temples. This involves transplanting hair follicles to frame the temples to create a more natural looking hairline. The results of this procedure depend on the individual’s outlook and the extent of hair loss. It is also limited by the donor hair available.

What are Temporal Points and Why Do They start Receding?

Temporal points are the triangle sections of your hair at the temple that connect your main hairline to your side hairline. They help in achieving the right facial shape and help to fashion your hairline.

Hair Loss: The main cause of temple area thinning in males is Androgenetic alopecia.

Hormonal Changes: The production of DHT in males can over time cause the temple area follicles to weaken and diminish resulting in temporal recession.

Aging: Over time the face and body change, including the hairline. For some this can make temporal recession even more noticeable.

Medical Conditions: Different ailments can also cause hair to thin out at the temporal points including anemia.

Which Hair Transplant Techniques Are Used?

Two used techniques can help restore receding temporal points.

1. Follicular Unit Extraction

FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area using instruments. These follicles are then inserted into the temples. It does not require a linear incision and generally leaves tiny extraction marks.

2. Follicular Unit Transplantation

FUT involves removing a strip of scalp, from the donor area. Individual follicular units are. Transplanted into the recipient area. This method can provide grafts but leaves a linear scar.

Can a Temporal Point Hair Transplant Restore the Side Hairline?

Yes, a temporal point hair transplant can restore hair in areas where the temples are receding. This is a method of hair restoration that focuses on restoring the temples and hairline rather than covering large balding areas.

In this procedure, healthy hair follicles are removed from the donor area, (usually the back or sides of the head), and transplanted to the area around the temples.

The surgeon looks at:

  • Natural hair growth direction and angle.
  • Right hairline balance.
  • Existing hair density around temples.
  • How much donor hair is available.
  • The changes in the hairline on the face that occur with age.

How Much Does a Temporal Point Hair Transplant Cost?

The cost of a hair transplant is calculated on the total number of grafts required, the method of transplant, the experience of the surgeon, the standards of the clinic and the difficulty of the procedure. As temporal restoration generally involves covering an area, the total grafts required may be similar to a hairline transplant.

If you are looking for the male hair transplant cost in India, don’t go for a clinic just because they are cheaper. Instead, you should compare treatment plans. Also, a consultation helps to decide the number of grafts and the overall price.

Can Hair Loss Be Stopped After Transplantation?

A hair transplant helps you restore hair to bald areas but it does not prevent the hair loss which you are likely to experience because of heredity in other areas. Existing hair may become thinner.

A specialist might suggest medicines or other treatments to deal with more hair loss. People who want to have hair regrowth treatment in Delhi should visit a professional for an exam before they start any treatment.
