What is a Hair Transplant Surgery?

Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that helps remove hair follicles from one part of the body. This is also referred to as the donor site.

This is a process to move hair to bald areas of your head and usually done under local anaesthesia.

There are several factors to consider prior to attempting hair transplant surgery, age factor being one of them. Other important factors are the cost and quality of the surgery since the cost of this type of procedure can be quite high. The resting period is likely to be for up to three days after surgery, however, it is a good idea to inquire about this.

Listed here are factors to consider prior to opting for this type of surgery:

  • Cause of Hair Loss:  Most important factors that determine success of hair plant surgery is the main reason for cause of baldness. Hence it is first necessary to visit a dermatologist and diagnosis the main reason of hair loss. If the reason for hair loss is an autoimmune disorder, it cannot be treated in this method. Age is also one of the factors.
  • Donor Hair Regions:  Donor hair also plays a big role in the success of this procedure. The main aim of this procedure is to restore full head hair however; this may not always be possible. The donor hair regions dictate the thickness of the hair as well. It is best to inquire about the donor with the doctor prior to the surgery for this reason.
  • Aftercare: Success of a surgery does not depend exclusively on the procedure itself, but also depends on the aftercare. This is an important factor to consider when selecting a clinic. Almost every clinic will provide some level of aftercare support which can be a formof an aftercare kit with essential products for scalp care. Aftercare is important for success of this procedure as well as to avoid infection.
  • Result: It is important to consider that the resultsof a hair transplant will not be immediately evident. It can take up to one year for treatment to take effect and for hair to grow to gradually grow.
