What is Hair Transplantation?

While there are many surgical procedures for hair loss, hair transplants are the most widely accepted.

Do Hair Transplants Really Work?

Yes, the transplanted hair is removed from the donor area of the head, (usually the back or sides) which is genetically pre-programmed to produce healthy hair for a lifetime. Using magnification, follicular unit grafts containing one, two or three hairs are meticulously transferred into the bald or thinning areas of the recipient site.

The Procedure

Hair transplantation is considered a “minor” outpatient surgery that takes from 3–8 hours. Patients are kept pain-free and comfortable with a gentle oral or IV sedation medication. Within six to eight months, hair transplant patients will begin to experience significant growth.
