Do Hair Transplants Work?

This question, "Do hair transplants work?" has always been asked because of the negative reports we see on the net and TV. But yes, hair transplants work. There are simple answers why it works. It works basically because transplanted hair removed from one area of the body (donor site) and moved to another (recipient site) are the patients own. This means that the transferred tissue would not be rejected by the body because it is not foreign. This further means that the transplanted hair would look and be the same in all aspect as the rest. It would have the same color texture, curl and growth rate.

The Development Of Hair Restoration Techniques 

Through the years developments on instruments and techniques have resulted to having truly natural look. It has been discovered as well that hair grows from the scalp in groups of one to three hair follicles and so grafting is done in this manner and eliminating excess fatty tissues around the grafts. This technique results to a denser and more natural result.

Are Hair Transplants Safe And Painful? 

Another question that has always been asked with regards to hair transplants is if it safe and painful. The most common perception on surgical procedures is that it is painful. Yes, some discomfort is to be experienced, but anesthesia into the scalp will render the whole procedure painless.

After the surgical procedure, at the grafted sites will appear small scabs and will last for about 4 - 7 days. Twenty four hours after the operation shampooing can already be done. The stitches on the donor area are done in such a way that they are not detectable after the procedures. A baseball cap can be worn after the procedure for protection and if there any obvious stitches that may cause embarrassment. Heavy physical activity must be avoided at least five days after surgery. New growth will begin in 3 - 4 months to half an inch a month.

How Long Does It Take? And Is It Expensive? 

The number sessions that wit will take depends upon: the uniqueness of the patient's hair, area of the scalp to be treated, the number and size of grafts to be used, and the density of hair the patient desire. The number of sessions is finalized upon consultation.

The cost is another that is of importance to patients. The total cost actually depends on the size and number of grafts to be used and done. Hair transplant today is a lot cheaper than even some alternative medicine or a hair piece. They are priced per session or per graft. The average price per graft is $5 - $6 and can be as high as $8 per graft. Most clinics have one time payment policy and discounted as the size of sessions increase.
