Jamaica is situated in the Caribbean region and has a Spanish influence. There are several clinics here that offer hair restoration methods. The hair loss issue has become a menace during the recent years and more people are turning towards ways of restoring their hair. There are many non surgical methods of hair regeneration but the most permanent and natural solution is the hair transplantation surgery. The hair transplantation method involves removal of hair from an area of good growth and planting them on the bald patch. Jamaica, like all other countries offers a wide array of surgeons and dermatologists who perform surgical as well as non surgical methods of hair restoration. However, the procedures being performed there are by surgeons with limited experience. In countries where medical tourism is enhanced, such as in Malaysia or in Pakistan; the surgeons have great experience in dealing with all types of cases from around the world. The limitation with the cosmetic surgeons in Jamaica is that there is not much medical tourism in the country due to which the doctors have limited experience. The majority of people who seek medical help for their baldness issues travel to eastern countries in order to get proper treatment at a lower cost than that offered in the west. The cost of an average hair loss surgery in the west costs between $3,000 and $10,000 while the same procedure costs around $1,000 to $2,000 in Pakistan. The reason for this is that the currency of Pakistan is much lower than the currencies of western countries in terms of foreign exchange. The medical facilities and doctor’s fees are also much cheaper in Pakistan than in the west. There are two types of hair transplants; the strip method and the follicular unit extraction (FUE). In strip method, sharp instruments are used to remove a strip of hair from an area of good hair growth, which is usually the back or sides of the head. This strip is dissected into smaller units and then planted on the bald patch. The wound from the strip of hair removed causes a scar to remain on the donor site. The FUE procedure is much more technical and involves extraction of individual hair follicles which are then planted on the bald patch. Before the procedure it is always advised that the candidate does some basic research about a good surgeon and clinic where hair restoration surgeries are done. Hair restoration surgeries are a sensitive procedure for which a good surgeon applies his skills and therefore finding a good surgeon is recommended. The past patients’ testimonies, experiences and results must be observed before consulting any surgeon. Once the surgeon is selected, consultation takes place. During this consultation all the initial aspects of the procedure are discussed. The doctor talks to his patient about his expectations and prepares him about the result of the surgery. Once the cost and all other aspects are finalized, the doctor asks the candidate to cleanse his or her scalp properly before the surgery. The surgery is done under the effect of local anesthesia or in very rare cases, general anesthesia is given. The surgeons then remove either a strip of hair or individual follicles and while all this patient is wide awake and alert. Once this is done, a break is given and then the follicles or strip units are planted at the recipient site. Hair transplant forum Jamaica provides a variety of surgeons and clinics to choose from. Many people travel to cheaper eastern countries to get a good hair regeneration surgery done.
