General Information
A hair transplant is a type of cosmetic surgery where hair is transferred from the back or side of the head to bald areas on the top of the scalp. It's also possible to transplant body hair onto the head.
The procedure can be suitable for men suffering from androgenetic alopecia.
Transplanted hair is resistant to the hormones which cause baldness and as such, a hair transplant is a procedure with permanent results.
Time Duration
For extensive hair loss, it may be necessary to have two sessions. This really depends on the number of hairs being transplanted and the method being used.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
is a transplant technique that removes a long strip of hairs from the back of the head. It's a quicker procedure but leaves a thin linear scar.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
transplants individual hairs rather than a single strip. This is more time intensive but has the advantage of not leaving a visible scar.
General Prices
Hair transplant costs will vary depending on the surgeons expertise, clinic location, and the transplant technique.
As FUE takes longer it's typically more expensive than the FUT method.
When deciding on a surgeon, be sure to factor in the aftercare, and if follow up appointments are included in the price.Safety
