Everything You Need to Know

Hair restoration surgery can be considered a safe option for individuals with hair loss or thinning. The transplanted hairs are able to resist the hormone responsible for hair loss, making the results permanent. While there may be some risks associated with the surgery, when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon, the procedure can be a safe and effective solution for hair restoration.

Unless your body has gone through some hormonal change (puberty, pregnancy, cancer treatments, etc.), it’s unlikely that your hair texture will change much. You may notice that your hair becomes curlier as you transition and your hair gets healthier.

Hair restoration procedures, whether it is FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), have the potential to provide permanent results. During both procedures, hair grafts are taken from the patient’s donor area and transplanted into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. Once these hair grafts are transplanted, they typically continue to grow naturally for the rest of the patient’s life. However, it is important to note that the success of the procedure depends on various factors such as the surgeon’s skill, the patient’s health, quality of the donor hair, etc.

One of the most common side effects patients may experience is bleeding and scalp swelling. The nature of hair restoration means that follicles will be removed from areas of the head that see healthy hair growth and be restored into the treatment areas through incisions.
