FAQ
All hair transplantation techniques work on the same basic principle and method. To begin, healthy, bald-resistive follicles are harvested from the back or sides of the head (called the donor site). Next, very small micro-incisions are made in the thinning areas where more hair is desired (called the recipient site). The harvested follicles (called grafts) are then carefully embedded into the incisions. Typically, more than 95% of the transplanted hair follicles will take root, acting as a permanent and completely natural replacement for lost hair.
Yes. Hair restoration or transplant surgery is the only permanent method of treating hair loss.We always recommend that patients seeking treatment for hair loss try other proven methods of non-surgical treatment before considering surgery. Similarly, for those experiencing early thinning, we highly recommend prevention strategies ahead of transplant surgery, but for those who have reached irreversible stages of hair loss or who simply want a complete and permanent solution, hair restoration surgery is the best treatment possible.
Yes. With modern hair restoration techniques it is possible to obtain results that look convincingly natural. The key is in the surgeon’s technique, their attention to detail and their understanding of how to create a hairline that is natural to your face.
