What is hair transplantation?
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves transferring hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back of the head, to areas experiencing hair loss or thinning.
Who is a good candidate for hair transplantation?
A good candidate is someone with sufficient donor hair at the back of the scalp, good overall health, and realistic expectations about the results.
How long does the hair transplant procedure take?
The procedure usually takes 6 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts being transplanted.
Is hair transplantation painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so patients typically feel little to no pain. Mild discomfort may be experienced during the recovery phase.
How long does it take to see the results?
Initial growth can be seen within 3 to 4 months. Full results are typically visible after 12 to 18 months.
Will the transplanted hair fall out?
The transplanted hair may shed within the first few weeks, which is normal. This is called "shock loss," and the new hair will begin to grow in its place.
How much does hair transplantation cost?
The cost varies depending on factors such as the number of grafts, the technique used (FUE, DHI, etc.), and the clinic location. It's best to consult directly with a clinic for a personalized quote.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Common side effects include swelling, redness, or mild scabbing in the transplanted area. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a qualified specialist.
Can women undergo hair transplantation?
Yes, women with hair thinning or localized hair loss can undergo hair transplantation if they meet the necessary criteria.
