What causes hair loss?
The most common cause of hair loss is genetics. The gene for hair loss is inherited from either or both parents. Men are most commonly affected by a male hormone called DHT. Take a look at your grandfather, your Dad, your uncles, your Grandmother, your Mother, your Aunts … on either side of the family. If they’ve lost their hair, you might lose yours too.
Does hair restoration really work?
Yes. The restored hair is moved from the back and sides of the scalp. These hair follicles are genetically programmed to grow for a lifetime. The hair maintains the same color characteristics, same texture, curl, and growth rate.
Is hair restoration painful?
Most men and women are surprised about how little pain there really is with this procedure. The discomfort is usually during the time when the anesthesia is injected into the scalp. After the skin is anesthetized, the scalp is numb, and there is virtually no pain. If the Lidocaine (numbing agent) wears off during the procedure, the patient gets another dose of the medication.
What will it look like after the procedure?
The micro-incisions where the follicles are transplanted form tiny scabs the first couple days after the procedure. If a man or woman still has hair on their scalp, creative styling will camouflage these scabs. If a person has no hair at all, the scabs are typically gone in about a week.
When can I go back to work?
Most doctors recommend you relax a few days after surgery. The less active you are during this critical time frame, the less chance you have of dislodging any transplanted follicles. Depending on the type of work you do, you could return to work a few days after the procedure. The surgeon will discuss the specific details with you during your Free Consultation.
How expensive is restoration surgery?
Typically, doctors charge by the graft or, “follicular unit” as they are often called. The pricing can range from $3 per graft to $9 per graft depending on the doctor you choose. The average price per graft is about $5. Typically, the larger the session, the less the cost per graft. As a “rough estimate”, a patient will spend $5,000 - $7,000 to add density to the hair line and frontal area, and another $5,000 - $7,000 to restore the top and back (crown) of the head.
Is it worth the money you’ll spend? My opinion and the opinion of thousands of patients is YES!! If you consider the money you’ve spent as an investment in yourself, the money is well spent. If it bothers you, get it fixed!
Hair loss is “progressive”. It will continue falling out unless you do something about it. The great thing about transplanted hair is that it’s permanent. It will give you “peace of mind” and most important … it lasts a lifetime!!
