Hair Transplant Surgery


Procedure Description:

Hair Transplant Surgery has evolved a long way from the hair plugs popular in the 1970’s.  Modern hair transplant surgery uses micro-grafts to achieve a more natural look.  Micro-grafts are much smaller than the large hair grafts used 30 years ago. 

These micro-grafts use follicular units of hair, hair follicles do not grow in individual hairs, but most grow in microscopic groups of 2-4 hairs.  Hair transplant surgeons use intense magnification and the latest tools to keep the integrity of follicular units.  By maintain the composition of follicular units hair transplant surgeons can mimic natural hair growth and restore the hair in bald or balding regions.  The best hair transplant surgery keeps three things in mind: achieve maximum hair growth, replicate natural hair flow, and minimize trauma to the scalp

Time Required:
Hair transplant surgery can be an all day surgery, but typically lasts about 4 hours to perform.

In/Out Patient Info:
Hair transplantations are performed on an outpatient basis

Side Effects:
Minor headaches are extremely common with hair transplant surgery due to the tugging and manipulation of the scalp during treatment.  Oral medication found at your local drug store should help alleviate any headaches experienced. Some times a small amount of bleeding can occur; also numbness or tenderness of scalp can take place, and a temporary thinning of pre-existing hair.

Duration of Results:
New hair should start to grow within 4 months and keep growing permanently thereafter.

Recovery:
Follicular unit transplantation requires very small incisions that are considerably less invasive. This means that most patients can return to normal activities in a matter of days.
