How do hair transplants work

Director at Medispa Hair Transplant
Hair transplant surgery has taken massive strides over the last, say, 15 years .” “Most notably, we have moved from plug surgery to single follicular surgery which provides patients with very effective and natural-looking results.”

Hair transplants have been successfully performed and are the only permanent method of hair restoration. Major advances in the use of follicular unit hair grafts have dramatically improved the results. Gone are the days of “plug-style” transplantation. There are 2 different harvesting methods available when doing hair transplants; strip method of harvesting and follicular unit extractions (FUE).

One of the exciting and unique benefits of hair transplants is that the transplanted hair will continue to grow for the rest of your life.

Hair transplant procedure is to provide the patient with a very natural look, maintaining virtually undetectable results and optimal density without compromising the donor area.

There are limitations to what you can achieve via surgery if you only have a small donor site to work with and if this is the case, you have to carefully manage the expectations of the patient,”

The hair transplant procedure begins with an evaluation of the donor area. This area on the back and the sides of the head contain healthy hair follicles that are genetically programmed not to shed.

Experienced surgical team achieves aesthetic, natural looking hairlines through customized follicular unit grafting and micro-grafting. When manual placement of grafts is utilized there is no difference in regard to the technique of placement of strip harvested or FUE harvested grafts.

Using a crosshatching technique, grafts are artistically placed at varied angles and directions so that the hairline closely resembles naturally growing hair and since no two hair transplants are alike, every single treatment plan is personalized to meet each patient's individual needs.

A hair transplant procedure will be completed on an outpatient basis. The length of the procedure depends on how much hair is being transplanted.

As in nature, the hair grows slowly. The hair begins to grow at three months and will continue to grow at the same rate as your natural hair. Results are usually complete in 10 to 12 months. The transplanted hair will grow forever and does not require special maintenance.
