Hair Transplant
Hair transplant is the process of moving hair from the back of one’s head to the area of the head where no hair is growing. Essentially the surgeon plants the hair follicles like seeds into the scalp after making tiny incisions (Nelson, 2018). The two methods used to move hair are called slit grafts and micrografts. Slit grafts combine multiple hairs (from 4 to 10) per graft, whereas micrografts basically move one or two hairs at a time.
As Thompson (2013) points out, hair loss can stem from genetics and high levels of testosterone (male pattern baldness, for example). This is one of the biggest reasons an individual might choose to undergo this procedure—i.e., to overcome a genetic issue. Hair transplant can make some people feel better about their appearance.
The direct effect the procedure has on the integumentary system is that it will cause bleeding, scarring and there is no guarantee that the transplant will be completely successful. Anytime one makes incisions in one’s skin and moves something to somewhere else there are risks. This applies in gardening as well as with respect to the integumentary system.
The indirect effect of the procedure on the integumentary system is that it can result in infection. This occurs if the hair follicles become inflamed. This condition is known as foliculitis, and typically results from a bacterial infection. If bacteria get into the hole where the hair is transplanted the risk of infection has to be considered—which is why this is the number one indirect effect of the procedure. However, because one is also transplanting hair, the integumentary system may reject it ultimately and cause the hair to grow in that spot irregularly or not at all.

Baldness and thinning hair are common and the ultimate fate of almost all men and women as they age. In fact, hair loss is genetic in origin, and as we come to a greater understanding of the biology and genetics of hair loss, we are beginning to find novel solutions to this age-old "problem" of the human condition. We have come a long way from the treatments for hair loss
Alopecia areata is a systemic hair loss disorder, which affects roughly around 4.7 million people in the United States alone. [NAAF].

A biopsy of the bone marrow is the only way to be sure that it is leukemia. TREATMENT Treatments for leukemia can vary depending on the stage, the age of the patient, the type of leukemia, and the advanced or infant stages that it is in, but most leukemia patients do go through a host of treatments that include chemotherapy. Treatment also depends on the stage that the disease is placed in.
Meanwhile, the top five cosmetic procedures for minorities in America in 2005 were as follows: Botox (3.8 million); "chemical peel" (1 million); "microdermabrasion" (828,000); laser hair removal (783,000); and "sclerotherapy" (590,000). Among the various kinds of cosmetic surgery, there are several that are not at all related with vanity, but instead are corrective in nature and dealing with a serious impairment on the part of the patient.
