Hair TransPlant

Is hair transplant safe and permanent?

By m-hairhouse

Safety of Procedure:

01.

Hair transplants are generally safe when performed by qualified and experienced surgeons, though complications like infection, bleeding, or scarring can occur.

Types of Hair Transplants:

02.

The two main types, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), are widely considered safe procedures with minimal risks.

Permanent Results:

03.

Hair transplants are considered a permanent solution because the transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the hormone (DHT) that causes hair loss in other parts of the scalp.

Natural Hair Growth:

04.

Once the transplanted hair follicles take root, they grow naturally and should continue to do so for a lifetime.

Recovery Time:

05.

The recovery process is relatively quick, though swelling, redness, and scabbing in the treated area are common in the first few weeks.

Post-Transplant Shedding:

06.

It's normal for the transplanted hair to shed within the first few weeks after the procedure, but new hair growth usually begins within 3-6 months.

Maintenance:

07.

While the transplanted hair is permanent, surrounding hair may continue to thin, requiring additional treatments or medications to maintain overall density.

Scarring:

08.

FUT may leave a linear scar, while FUE leaves tiny, less noticeable dot scars, making the choice of method important for aesthetic preferences.

Long-Term Success:

09.

The success and longevity of the hair transplant depend on factors such as the patient's age, extent of hair loss, and post-operative care.

Cost and Multiple Sessions:

10.

Hair transplants can be expensive, and some patients may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired fullness or if hair loss progresses.
