A hair transplant is a surgical procedure to improve baldness.
During a hair transplant, a physician moves hairs from an area of thick growth to bald areas. Most hair transplants are performed in an office setting under local anesthesia. You should only experience minimal pain.
If you are bothered by thinning hair or balding, hair transplantation can significantly improve your appearance and self-confidence. However, it is important to understand that hair transplantation is just that -- transplantation of hair you already have to a place where it is more visible. It does not create new hair.
Most modern hair transplants result in excellent hair growth within several months after the procedure. Often, however, more than one treatment session is needed to create the best-looking results.
The replaced hairs are usually permanent. No long-term care is necessary.
When done correctly, a hair transplant surgery can produce lifelong results that are so natural that even hair stylists cannot detect them. But choosing the hair restoration procedure and clinic is critical.
