Hair Transplant- Restoration

Male baldness is a common problem starting around the third decade of life.

Baldness occurs due to permanent loss of hair roots.No amount of oil , massage or medicines can put life back into the dead roots. Hair transplantation (HT) offers a scientific solution by implanting new hair roots.

Aging, heredity, stress and oversensitivity to testosterone (in males) are some of the common factors leading to baldness. Hair transplant surgery can potentially improve the lives of the many people who may feel embarrassed and frustrated with having noticeable baldness. This cosmetic procedure surgically restores hair to the scalp, which dramatically improves the appearance of hair. it involves harvasting few hair roots (already surplus in density in the posterior region)  from the back and/or sides of the hair and transferring it to the balding areas. Hair transplantation can also provide successful results for women.

Procedure
It is well known that hair on the back (occipital) region of the head almost never fall off (due to a genetic tendency to remain permanent). HT is based on the concept that if hair roots taken from the back region are transplanted to the area of baldness, they will, after a short period of effluvium,continue to grow hair in the new site for as long as they would have in their original site. Follicular  grafts are used to provide the desired density of hair. Since the new transplanted hair is from one's own body, it will grow naturally with time & one can shampoo, trim or even shave it.

Hair transplantation is an outpatient procedure done under local anesthesia. Patient can go home the same day. since it is very superficial procedure involving only the uper part of skin, it does not have any side effects on the body.
