Summary Permanent Transplanted Follicles: Hair moved from the donor area is genetically resistant to balding and typically lasts a lifetime, though surrounding native hair may continue to thin. Longevity Depends on Multiple Factors: Genetics, donor quality, age, doctor’s surgical skill, and post-op care all influence how long results remain natural and dense. Technique Matters Less Than Expertise: FUE, FUT, and DHI all produce permanent results; differences are in scarring, recovery time, and donor management rather than graft longevity.

Summary Hair loss often reflects internal issues such as hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems, or autoimmune conditions—not just surface-level scalp or hair problems. Blood tests reveal the root causes by checking markers like iron (ferritin), vitamin B12, vitamin D, zinc, thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4), and reproductive hormones (FSH, LH, testosterone, estrogen, etc.). Hormonal and autoimmune conditions like PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, and alopecia areata can significantly impact hair health and require targeted treatment guided by test results. Terra Medical Clinic offers personalised treatment plans based on comprehensive blood test results, often involving multidisciplinary specialists such as endocrinologists, gynaecologists, or
