Hair Transplant Surgery

It is very important that patients understand a few very basic facts about hair transplantation so that they can have realistic expectations about treatment.

What is involved?

Hair transplantation is the artistic redistribution of dominant hair follicles, from the back of the head into the balding areas of the scalp, resulting in a very natural appearance. Simply put, we take a strip of hair from where you have more than you need and put it where you need it more.

When should I have a transplant?

A Hair Transplant can be done in the early stages of hair loss, when the hair is just beginning to thin, or in the later stages when baldness is more obvious. It is important that the hair loss pattern is established before surgery is undertaken.  Therefore young men under twenty-five are often, in the first instance, offered medical treatment to which they usually respond very well.

Why would I want one?

Hair transplantation is the most effective, long term solution to male pattern baldness.  There have also been excellent results in the treatment of genetic hair loss in some women, as well as in scars resulting from facial surgery, burns, accidents, or as a result of various hair loss diseases.
