In the video: What is Hairstetics, the new patent for synthetic hair transplantation?
(Walla! NEWS Studio)
One of the things we invest the most time and thought in is our hair and each and every one of us has a haircut and hairstyle that says something about them.
Therefore, for many, hair loss is a real trauma.
Fortunately, there is now an innovative treatment for the subject, in the form of alternative hair injections.
To get to know the field in depth, Dr. Tzachi Shelkovitz, a dermatologist from the Center for Excellence in Medicine, Skin and Dermo-Aesthetics, and two of his patients, Flora Malka and Yael Inbar, came to the studio.
Dr. Shelkovitz, What exactly is Hairstetics?
"This is an Israeli patent developed by an engineer named Dvir Keren. He took two materials that are known and safe in the world of medicine. The hair here is actually sewing threads of surgery and his patent was that he was able to dye them in colors that do not go down.
The hair is held in place by an anchor made of a substance called nitinol, a derivative of titanium.
It is a substance that has existed in medicine for many years.
Dvir Keren connected them and created the synthetic hair. "And
what types of patients usually come to you for such treatment?
" We target it for women, not men.
Because men have lots of other solutions and in addition, in Hairstetics there is a limit to the length of the hair, it can not be very short, because the hairs stand and do not lie down. "
How long does the treatment last, how many treatments should be done and how long does it last?
" Our goal is to help For women to return to their previous state their natural hair.
If there are women who have thinness at a level where regular treatments will not help, they are designed for Hairstetics treatments.
In the first stage, we inject 48 hairs into the scalp and wait a month and a half to see that the body absorbs them well.
Next, if there are no inflammatory reactions, we plan with the patient the amount of hair and set a date for treatment.
Both after the test and after the full treatment, the patient does not wet the scalp for three days and does not dye the hair for two weeks.
She takes antibiotics and applies antibiotics for five days, so that there is no inflammation or rejection.
We also teach them how to maintain the care at home with the help of a designated shampoo and other means.
We have our full support throughout the process and we are available 24/7 for any problem. "
What are the treatment costs?
" Because the number of hypotheses each patient needs is different, the cost range is wide.
Knowing the various substitutes, I can say that this treatment is not more expensive, and much more natural. "
Yael, can you share with us the treatment process you went through?
" I injected 440 hairs, which is an intermediate amount.
I had an exposed area and I was always embarrassed and now it is covered great.
This is the great advantage of Hairstetics.
It does not look artificial and I do not have to take it off before I go to bed.
It's with me, on the scalp and it was the ultimate solution.
I was one of the first to receive the treatment, so I was tense and the result surprised me very well.
It's amazing - in half an hour or an hour you go out with hair and it's a dramatic change in self-confidence and appearance. "
Flora, what about you?
"
I did the treatment in stages, each time adding a little more and I am very pleased.
The pain of the treatment is very minimal, slight punctures but do not feel the transplant. "
Following this, Dr. Shelkovitz, what will you say to those who want to start treatment but are a little apprehensive?
"There's no reason not to do it. Women come out happy, like the result. Their first sentence is usually 'When do we do more?' "From the hairs we transplanted, it goes down every year. That's why the patients inject the main amount for the first time, and then supplement it every so often."
