Senior Member NervousNelly Posted December 8, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted December 8, 2006 This may sound crazy but I have heard that in some cases, when an individual gets a HT it actually causes other native hair to become healthier, stronger, and thicker.(ofcourse after shockloss) There is no scientific evidence to support such claims but some believe that it might be due to increased bloodflow or possibly cells are rejuvinating/communicating. If this were at all true it would support the idea of getting a HT before advanced progession of baldness? Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? I know it sounds farfetched to me!

Guest Cousin_It Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Actually you may have a valid point here. Depending on the extent and length of hair loss in an area, enviromental damage, ie crosslinking due to sun exposure, there can be a gradual atrophy of blood vessels in areas of the scalp. Hair transplanted in these areas elicits a reaction to increase bloodflow to transport nutrients to these follicles. This process, angiogenisis, is the creation of new blood vessels by the body to accomplish this. As a result, adjoining follicles are able to enjoy an increase in bloodflow and subsequent nutrients.

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I can see how such a claim could be possible, but it didn't happen that way for me...hence experiencing temp shockloss for my first two surgeries of my native hair and some grafted hair.
