Who is the ideal candidate for a Hair Transplant?

Prior to any surgery, we strongly recommend you discuss and share with your surgeon your expectations. People are generally pleased with the results and more than glad they made the time and investment.

All hair replacement techniques use existing hair. Grafts are not made using someone else’s hair; rather your surgeon decides the most efficient use for your existing hair and decides where transplants would be most effective.

The technique for surgical hair transplants is the same: taking hair from where it is currently growing and “moving” or transplanting it to an area on your scalp where you have lost hair. Therefore, to be able to have this procedure, you MUST have healthy hair on your scalp, healthy hair which is “available” to be transplanted. The areas where healthy hair grows are referred to as “donor areas,” as they will become the donors for other areas where the hair is thinning or bald. Your hair color, texture, degree of curl all affect the final outcome and appearance.

In short, you can have surgical hair transplant if you have enough donor hair. The procedure will look natural and no one will know you even had it. Your new hair will gradually grow in and before you know it you hair loss problem will be solved. No more taking medication that doesn't work or having to wear a baseball cap.

Choosing to have a permanent hair replacement surgery will be the best decision you ever made for your self confidence. It is generally painless and within a couple weeks of having surgery there will be no visible signs of surgery.
