everyone want a thicker hair no matter how severe your hair loss is. Say goodbye to thinning hair and baldness. For those struggling with severe hair loss that’s hard to treat with just one method, an innovative combination of 3 advanced techniques offers a targeted solution with clear and visible results. In this article, we showcase a case study along with explanations from Dr. Top, an American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS), on why this particular case required a combination of these 3 techniques for effective treatment.

Factors Influencing Hereditary Baldness
Family History: If anyone in your family, whether parents or grandparents, has hereditary baldness, you are at a high risk of developing it as well.
Hormone DHT (Dihydrotestosterone): This hormone plays a significant role in hair loss by shortening the hair growth phase and extending the resting phase. Over time, hair follicles produce less hair, which becomes thinner until the follicles eventually shrink and stop producing hair altogether.
Age: Hereditary hair thinning and baldness often begin in late adolescence, with men being more susceptible than women. As you age, hair loss and thinning become increasingly noticeable.
Is Hair Transplant the Only Option for Treating Hereditary Baldness?
Hair transplantation toget a thicker hair involves moving hair follicle cells from the occiput area to the desired location, increasing hair density in areas affected by thinning or baldness. This method is highly effective and offers long-lasting results. However, it comes with a limitation: "Hair is a finite resource." Once hair is extracted, it will not regrow in the same spot. Therefore, it is essential to "use as little hair as possible while achieving the best results." Treating hair thinning and baldness for optimal results does not always require the same technique for every patient. In fact, hair transplantation is not the only solution for treatment. There are various methods to restore thinning hair and enhance density. The choice of method depends on the condition of the hair, the patient’s physical health, and individual preferences. A specialized physician will design a personalized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific hair concerns, ensuring accurate, effective treatment and maintaining hair density for the long term.
Case Study: Why This Case Required a Combination of 3 Techniques for Treatment?
A 28-year-old male patient presents with noticeable hair thinning at the front and top of the scalp, caused by hereditary factors. Is a hair transplant suitable for this case? The first step is for the patient and doctor to collaborate on a treatment plan. The patient’s expectations and the techniques required to achieve the best results must be discussed. For this case, Dr. Top recommends a comprehensive hair transplant. This treatment involves transplanting 3,000 grafts (the maximum number of grafts possible in a single session)to get a thicker hair. Fortunately, the patient still has fine hair in some areas, which can be revitalized. A combination treatment is recommended, leveraging the strengths of different techniques to restore and enhance hair growth effectively and sustainably. The following three techniques were used for this case:
- Regenera Activa: A method that stimulates hair follicles using the patient’s own follicle cells. This technique reactivates “dormant hair cells,” strengthening them and promoting new hair growth, ultimately increasing hair density.
- Hair Transplant: Enhances hair density by transplanting follicle cells from the occiput area to the desired areas.
- ALMI Nano Fat: This advanced technique uses nano-fat rich in growth factors to deeply stimulate hair follicles, promote new hair growth, nourish the scalp, strengthen hair roots, and reduce hair loss.
Combining the Regenera Activa and ALMI Nano Fat techniques stimulates new hair growth while strengthening existing hair, making it thicker hair and more robust. This explains why this case could achieve high-density hair transplantation. The new hair integrates seamlessly with the existing hair, resulting in a naturally thick and dense appearance.
Because the patient is under 30 years old but already experiencing hereditary hair thinning and baldness, it is crucial to maintain the existing hair for as long as possible by slowing down hair loss. Does the patient need a thicker hair and have to take medication after the transplant? Taking medication is one of the treatment options, but it depends on the patient’s convenience. Alternatives to medication include Nano Fat injections or follow-up with Regenera Activa sessions. However, undergoing a second hair transplant is recommended as a last resort. However, not every case will be as successful as this one. It depends on whether the patient responds well to the treatment.
