1. What is hair transplant and does it really works?
Originally developed in the 1930’s, hair transplant surgery has come a long way since its conception. When it became popular in the 60’s and 70’s, hair
transplant surgery was unrefined and the technique utilized large hair grafts produced by round punches. This often led to the sparse plugged look
associated with hair transplantation.
Today’s hair transplant surgeons use micro-grafts and follicular unit transplantations that are virtually indistinguishable even by professional
hairdressers.
Hair transplant surgery always begins with your healthy donor hair. It is simple: If you do not have the donor hair then you do not have the hair that can be transplanted.
This donor hair is located on the sides and back of the head and is resistant to balding, allowing it to continue to grow throughout your lifetime. Most men suffering from
standard male pattern baldness will have a healthy donor area.
In follicular unit hair transplantations, a small section of tissue is removed from the donor area and is broken down under magnification. This is where modern hair
transplant surgeons show their true artistry. Follicular units grow in groups of 1-4 hairs. By keeping this composition intact, your hair transplant mimics real life.
Hair transplant surgeons reproduce with micro-grafts exactly how hair grows in nature. Each hair is different and an experienced hair transplantation surgeon can make sure
the hairs are transplanted in areas where they are best suited. For example, certain hair groupings belong at the hairline, while others belong at the crown of the head.
Different hair transplant clinics use different methods and technology to achieve results. For your hair transplantation you will want to keep in mind that you are
maximizing hair growth, ensuring naturalness, and minimizing trauma to the scalp. With any hair transplant surgery there will be scars, but our good surgeon can keep that
scarring to minimum, and more importantly, undetectable. When done correctly your hair transplant is a customized experience; it is living hair that you can style like
you would before your hair loss.
2. How do I find out
if I am suitable for hair transplant?
The only way to know if you are a candidate for a hair transplant is to attend a confidential consultation. A qualified consultant can educate you further on
hair loss and the methods of treating it, and can then evaluate your personal situation. No amount of research is complete until you sit down with a qualified and trained professional to answer your concerns.
We will help to review the following information:
* Age
* Number of grafts required to meet your expectations
* Density of donor hair
* Color of hair
* Skin complexion
* Texture of hair
* Future hair loss projections
3. What is the approximate cost of hair transplant?
As with any procedure, hair transplant cost is an important part of the research process. However, it should not be the sole deciding factor. All hair
transplant surgeries are custom-tailored, and planned out to fit each patient's individual requirement producing results that last a lifetime.
Because each patient's hair loss is unique, as are their expectations, the only way to understand the total cost of your own surgery is through an
educational consultation with our qualified consultant.
You will hear of hair transplant clinics charging by the graft, by the hair and even by the session, so it can be hard to really compare hair
transplant prices. However, price per graft means nothing unless you know how many hairs you get in each graft and the depth of experience of the doctor.
Different hair restoration surgeons can perform a different number of micro-grafts per session. At a consultation, our specialists can break the hair
transplant cost down into grafts or hairs.
Financing can also be arranged for your hair surgery.
4. Is hair transplant even necessary with things like Finasteride and Minoxidil on the market?
While Finasteride and Minoxidil have been proven to regrow hair, they will not grow all your hair back. Unfortunatley, they tend to fall short of many patients' expectation. Their greatest benefit seems to be in slowing down hair loss.
It becomes repeatedly apparent that the best route for Finasteride and Minoxidil is as a complement to a hair transplant. They provide the ideal enhancement for the results of hair transplantation.
