The
Hair Loss Follicular Implant Procedure (surgical)
Hair loss treatments have greatly evolved
in recent years. Hair replacement surgery began by transplanting
skin with hair follicles from the back of the head to
the desired frontal areas into transplanting follicular
units, which are now individually harvested from the
back of the head, then dissected into smaller unites
and then implanted in the front of the head. Follicular
hair implants achieve a natural looking hair line and
permanent hair growth. By implanting healthy hair follicles
from the back of the head to balding areas, the follicles
continue to grow. It is important to note, that the
balding portion of the head is not the cause of your
hair loss; it is the genetic makeup of the hair. Healthy
follicular units from the back of the head will continue
growing as they always have.
Hair Restoration
Treatments (non-surgical)
Hair transplants are the only permanent
solution to hair loss. Research and users of Rogain
(the non-prescription, FDA approved topical treatment)
and Propecia (the prescription, FDA approved pill) have
concluded that the use of these two non-surgical treatments
aid in hair loss treatment and hair growth. Please visit
their web sites for more information.
The Risks Associated
with Hair Transpant Procedures
Each cosmetic surgery procedure carries
a certain amount of risk, as does all surgery. Your
surgeon will discuss the possible risks and complications
of your surgery and will answer any questions you may
have about those risks. Possible hair transplant risks
are minimal but include: bleeding, scarring and infection.
The
Cost of Hair Transplant Surgery and Financing Options
Depending on your geographical region
and your choice of surgeon, the average cost of hair
transplantation surgery is between $3 and $10 per graft
and the number of grafts needed depends on the balding
area. The average number of grafts needed is usually
between 500 and 2000, which translates into a cost range
of $1500 to $20,000. The surgeons’ skill and experience
along with competition factor greatly in the price per
graft. Choosing the surgeon to perform this procedure
should never be based on price alone. Financing is available
