Getting a Hair Transplant

Many men experience hair loss. It is genetically linked, and is extremely common. As a matter of fact as many as four in seven men will have hair loss at some point. For some this may occur as soon as the end of puberty, but generally the hair loss associated with male pattern baldness starts around age thirty and gets worse with age.

Often hair loss can be hidden or won't even be noticed by others until it's in later stages. Some men embrace their baldness and go for a sophisticated look, and others opt to shave off all their hair according to the recent style. However, there are some men who prefer to keep their hair.

For those who do want to keep a full head of hair, there are topically applied medications and laser treatments that can help to stop hair loss and promote regrowth of hair. These are only effective to some extent, and for some people a more permanent solution is sought.

Hair transplant is one of the options that is known to be quite effective. It is necessary for the person to have areas of the head with regular hair growth from whence to take the skin or hair follicles, and this hair can be transplanted to balding patches on the scalp.

In hair transplants, first a consultation is necessary with the doctor, who can take a look at your head and get an idea of the options. He will then talk them over with you as well as telling you what can reasonably be expected from a hair transplant in your situation.

Some hair transplants are done during a few sessions, but it is quite common to have the entire process done in one outpatient session that may take about four hours.

Strips of skin that contain regular hair follicles are taken from the back and sides of the scalp and are moved to the areas on the top or wherever the hair loss has occurred. There is also follicular unit transplantation which moves follicles that are producing 1-4 hairs in their natural units. This gives a very natural overall look to the new hair.

After your scalp has healed, the “new” hair will inevitably fall out at first. Within a few months, however, it will grow back in and you will have hair where you used to only have hair loss!

Of course there are some possible side effects and long term problems or imperfections with hair transplant, as with any other type of cosmetic surgery, but for those who are serious about improving their appearance, and who have seen little results from other methods, a hair transplant may be the best choice.
