What is a hair transplant?

A self-explanatory term, hair transplant is the restoration of hair from the donor's site of your body to the recipient site, that is the bald spots. Not just the head, there are areas like eyebrows and eyelashes too where people get a hair transplant done.

Why hair transplant?

  • Eradicates baldness:Hair loss and hair fall are very prominent among both men and women these days. This ultimately leads to baldness and/or bald spots. A hair transplant completely removes this problem and gives you manageable, natural-looking hair.
  • Cost worthy: Unlike other surgeries, hair transplant is a one-time solution, it does not require a lot of visits which thus, end up in high prices.
  • Permanent solution: In most or all of the cases there is no requirement for hair renewing even a few years after the hair transplant as it provides a permanent solution with your hair loss.

Drawbacks of hair transplant

  • Costly: Though it is worth the investment, the transplant is quite expensive. This is because of the very intricate procedure. Also, the shampoos and certain medications prescribed after the procedure might add up to the cost.
  • Risk of infections: Each type of surgery or operation produces a risk of infection but, this can certainly be avoided with the help of proper care that is advised to you by the doctor.
  • Recovery time: Recovery time differs from person to person. This can be from about 3-5 days or even take about a week.

Despite the limitations of hair transplant, the success rates are pretty high and the results are proven satisfactory among almost all of the customers. This makes the cost and time invested in the process worth it and would also upgrade your appearance with more confidence and natural-looking hair.

When does the need for hair transplant arise?

  • Increasing volume: With hair fall problem, some people do not face baldness but, they face thinning hair. Thin hair can also be an existing condition in them. But, hair transplant can also be done to get voluminous hair.
  • Damaged hair: Some people face the problem of damaged hair, one of these reasons can be because of accidents. A hair transplant can also help with the growth of these hair or hair areas.
  • Natural baldness: The most common cause is natural baldness and bald spots in both men and women. This affects people of all ages and can be the reason for poor maintenance or genetic factors.
  • Cosmetic Purposes: Some people, especially women get a hair transplant done on their eyelashes or eyebrows. This is because they have thin hair in those areas and want more fuller-looking hair. In the case of men, for cosmetic purposes they get chin hair transplanted.

Methods of hair transplant
