Forms of hair transplantation

There is only one method guaranteed to overcome hair loss permanently where the person can once again have a head of growing hair and that is hair transplantation. Hair transplantation is now so sophisticated that the results look completely natural to the extent that even hair stylists will not know.

The technique can be used anywhere, including the scalp, hairline, eyebrows and eyelashes. Facial hair can also be restored with this method and hair can even be grown in scar tissue.

The most refined form of hair transplantation is known as ultra-refined follicular unit transplantation. This involves hair roots being taken from an area where hair is still growing and moving it to where hair is thinning or absent. Around the hairline, hairs are placed individually to create a completely natural look.

Great results can be seen after just one session. An anaesthetic is used to prevent pain and the procedure will take between two and eight hours depending on how much hair is being transferred. You can go home within half an hour of finishing and no bandaging is required.

The hair will obviously take time to grow, but within three to four months, you should start seeing results and from then on, the hair will grow as normal.
