Hair Transplants

People seeking hair restoration cover the spectrum of minimal thinning to significant loss.

It is important to remember that hair restoration does not involve putting new hair on the head; rather it is the process of moving hair from one place to another to create the illusion of a fuller head of hair.

The more hair that is transplanted the better the result. Many patients attend for multiple procedures. One factor, which hampers the long-term results, is the continuing process of hair loss affecting the hair adjacent to the grafter hair.

For this reason, the surgeon may be reluctant to treat until some stability has been established to the hair loss. This means that by and large it is unlikely that anyone under the age of 25 is a suitable candidate, except for those who have suffered from extreme premature male pattern baldness.
