Hair Transplant

What is Hair Transplant process?

Hair transplant process works by relocating hair from areas where the hair is thicker (i.e. - back of the scalp), to areas where it is thinner, such as the front of the scalp. The hair from the back of the scalp will continue growing as it would as if it was in its original position. The transplanted hair is therefore permanent.

How is the process conducted?

Under local anesthesia a thin strip of skin bearing hair is removed from the back of the scalp and the wound is closed. The donor hair is then expertly dissected under a microscope into individual hairs, which are planted in the balding areas, again under local anesthesia. Careful planning occurs before the operation to determine how many grafts are necessary and where they can be placed to achieve the best possible appearance.

Do hair transplants look natural?

Yes, with greater magnification and improved techniques results in an extremely natural look. We can now achieve this result with the transplantation of micro follicular units.

What is involved with hair transplants?

Hair transplants are performed in a day surgery, using a neutralist anesthetic known as twilight sedation. You are relaxed and comfortable during the whole procedure. A strip of skin with hair is removed from the back of the scalp and then the area is closed by the surgeon.
