Hair transplants are a permanent solution for hair loss. Once the transplanted hair follicles are successfully established in their new location, they should continue to grow hair in a manner similar to the surrounding natural hair. Since the transplanted hair is resistant to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is often responsible for hair loss, the results are usually long-lasting. 

It’s important to note that while hair transplants are considered permanent, they do not prevent the progression of hair loss in other areas of the scalp. Therefore, individuals who are genetically predisposed to ongoing hair loss may continue to experience thinning or balding in areas not treated with a transplant.

The success of a hair transplant also depends on various factors, including the quality of the donor hair, and the overall health of the patient’s existing hair, and post-procedure follow-up care.  Additionally, other factors such as age, hormonal changes, and medical conditions can influence the long-term outcome of a hair transplant.

Good candidates are generally healthy men or women between the ages of 26 to 75. Certain health conditions or medication might impact the suitability for a hair transplant and this will be discussed with you during your complimentary consultation. 

Candidates should have sufficient donor area with healthy hair follicles and reasonable expectations of the limitations and achievable outcomes of the procedure.  

During your complimentary consultation with the surgeon, you will discuss your medical history, assess your hair loss, and provide you with a treatment plan for the procedure(s) that would provide the best possible outcomes to meet your hair restoration goals. The treatment plan will guide you to the procedure best suited for you, but we can also discuss the differences in greater detail during your consultation if you happen to be a candidate for both FUE and FUT. 

You may bathe or shower and resume most activities within the first 24-48 hours with some limitations to protect your scalp and ensure optimal healing.

After your procedure you may experience mild swelling over the forehead, eyelids, and checks  and should be reduced within the first 72 hours; sleeping in a recliner or evaluating your head at a 20-30 degree angle can also lessen this. 

It’s essential to follow your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions diligently to promote healing and minimize any potential complications. They may also advise you on when you can resume your normal activities, including work and exercise. Always consult with your surgeon for personalized information regarding your recovery process.
