Since the hair used in hair restoration surgery comes from the donor area, which is not sensitive to the balding process, it will be permanent. This hair will retain its genetic characteristics even after relocation. It will grow and continue to grow for the rest of your life.
Why are so few physicians performing all micro follicular unit hair transplantation?It's known that using small follicular unit grafts of 1 to 4 hairs and large sessions of 1200-2000 grafts is the ideal procedure for a patient who wants to achieve the most natural result with the least number of sessions.
As beneficial as it is for the patient, it is equally unappealing for the physician performing the hair transplantation procedure. This procedure requires the physician to be more detailed and exact, both in the cutting and placing of the graft. It is more labour intensive and takes longer.
How much Hair Transplantation will I need?How much work you will need depends on various factors - such as, how much hair loss you have now, the amount of hair loss you will have in time, and your goals and expectations - or how thick you need it to be. This can only be determined through a consultation session.
What about medical treatment?
While Propecia and Rogaine have been proven to re-grow hair, they will not grow all your hair back. Both products have not been proven to grow any significant hair in the frontal temple area, which is the main area of concern for most people. Their greatest benefit seems to be in slowing down hair loss.
What about hair cloning?Perhaps some day hair transplantation physicians will be able to clone hair follicles from a patient's donor area. This could potentially allow a patient a virtually unlimited supply of balding resistant donor hair. This would be of particular value to patients who have very little donor hair available for hair transplanting.
Although this potential advancement is exciting, it is currently only in the early test stages.
Is hair transplantation surgery painful?The discomfort associated with hair transplantation surgery is usually comparable to that of dental surgery. Pain medication is always offered, though its use is limited generally to the first 24 hours after surgery.
Will my hair require special care after hair transplantation?Your newly restored hair will grow and require the same maintenance as your original head of hair. It's your hair and can be washed, coloured, and trimmed any way you choose.
