HAIR TRANSPLANT

A hair transplant, which moves hair from one place to another on your head, can be done in several ways. The most common way is grafting. To be a good candidate, you'll need to have thicker areas of hair on your head. Permanent hair loss can happen due to several reasons, including types of alopecia.

How does a hair transplant work?

The healthcare provider takes grafts, or small pieces of skin, from areas of the body that contain healthy hair. Healthcare providers call this area the donor site. It’s usually on your head, at the back of your scalp where hair tends to be thickest. The healthcare provider moves the grafts to hairless parts of the scalp. Once the transplanted skin heals, it should continue to grow hair.

What conditions does hair restoration surgery treat?

There are many reasons you might lose your hair. Sometimes hair loss is temporary, but it can be permanent. Hair implants may help with permanent hair loss caused by:
- Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that attacks hair follicles.
- Androgenic alopecia, or pattern baldness.
- Thyroid diseases or hormonal imbalances.
- Traumatic injuries or burns.

How long do the results of a hair transplant last?

It can take up to a year before you see the full results of any hair transplant. The transplanted hair may fall out as the graft or flap heals. This is normal. The hair should grow back. You may need several “touch-up” hair transplant surgeries to achieve a natural-looking result.
