Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from one area of the scalp (the donor area) to another area (the recipient area) where hair is thin or absent. There are two main methods of hair transplantation:
In both of these method, after the procedure, it typically takes around 6-12 months for the transplanted hair to fully grow. After that, the results of the hair transplantation are permanent and the patient will be able to maintain normal hair growth in the treated area.
It's important to note that hair transplantation is a surgical procedure, and as with any surgery, there are risks involved, including bleeding, infection, and scarring. It's essential to consult with a board-certified hair restoration surgeon to determine if hair transplantation is the right choice for you, what technique may best suit your needs and help you understand the process and the post-operative care.
