Hair Transplants

Hair transplant involves the movement of hair from areas of your scalp (hair donor area) which normally never go bald, such as in the back and sides of your head, to the balding areas of your head. Hair transplant have different types; Follicular Unit Extraction and Follicular Unit Strip Surgery.

What is important to recognize about all Hair Transplants or hair surgical treatments for hair loss is that no hair surgical method can give you new hair or restore any of your dead hair. Hair transplantation can only redistribute what you still have.

People who have hereditary hair loss are the best candidates for hair transplants. Hair transplant can only work properly with people whose remaining hair is sufficient to cover balding spots, and who are likely to retain it for some time.

With recent advances in Hair Transplants Surgery, even people with up to 50 percent of their head balding may still be able to create the look of a full and natural set of hair. If genetic hair loss has passed beyond this stage then you will not be able to restore a full set of hair, but you may still be able to redistribute hair to a degree that may restore a pleasing look to your head.

There are only three proven approaches of surgical treatments for hair loss. Follicular Unit Strip Surgery and Follicular Unit Extraction, and scalp reduction are the only three proven approaches of surgical treatments for hair loss. Scalp reduction has lost favor with many surgeons as hair transplanting has advanced in both the technical and artistic components.

Hair transplant is by far the most popular method with both the surgeons and the patients. Before detailing each of these approaches it is important to note that a good hair restoration surgeon is really an artist in hair transplanting.

There is almost always more than one way to complete a surgical treatment for hair loss. Your hair restoration surgeon is critical to planning what works best for you. When you read about the details of each of these methods do not consider them only as alternatives but as complimentary approaches to Hair Transplants.
