We can correct any bald patches caused by traction alopecia using hair transplant surgery (FUE or FUT) at Medical Hair Restoration in Cape Town.

Hair loss due to pressure on the hair follicles is known as Traction Alopecia. It is a prevalent issue among people with Afrro-textured hairstyles that involve tight styles, like braids or weaves, and over time, hair loss unintentionally occurs in the community. To address this problem, a traction alopecia treatment using hair transplant surgery can serve as a lasting remedy to restore receding or thinning hairlines, giving you back your confidence and a natural look.

Excessive hair pulling can lead to traction alopecia—a type of hair loss that often starts at the hairline or temples and results in thinning or bald spots on the scalp area. Taking action can help deter harm; however, individuals experiencing significant hair loss due to this condition may find a hair transplant the most effective means to rejuvenate affected regions.

Both Follicular Unit Transplantation (known as “strip surgery” – FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) are used methods, for hair transplants. When it comes to fixing hair loss due to traction alopecia specifically caused by tight hairstyles, like braids or weaves that pull the hairline back and damage it over time, medical professionals often suggest going with the strip surgery technique (FUT) as it offers great coverage and thickness especially for rebuilding the hairline or covering larger areas with thinning hair however FUE is also very effective.
