Hair Transplants

There are several different situations when hair transplants are the first choice of treatment for hair loss.  These may include to produce a natural hairline, to fill in thinning hair, to graft onto scars left by surgical cuts to the scalp. 

The first of these, to produce a natural hairline is possibly the most important as the front of the head is the most obvious to those looking on.  The creation of a natural looking hairline leaves no room for error and involves the restoration of a delicate pattern of hair lengths and directions.  The most successful way to ensure the restoration of a natural looking hairline is a combination of Follicular Unit micro-grafting which is the only way to perform the precise manipulations needed.  Irregular patterns of hair distribution is used to create a natural looking hairline.

Secondly, to fill in thinning hair, hair transplantation will allow the restoration of a full set of hair.  Follicular Unit micro-grafts can be placed precisely among thinning hair to restore an original looking density to the hair.

Finally, to conceal scars left by surgery, this can be done effectively by hair transplanting into the scarred skin tissue.  Follicular Unit Extraction is considered the best method to repair scars left over from strip surgery, scalp reduction, and scalp lifting.  Scars left after cosmetic surgery , such as facelifts, brow lifts and other facial surgeries can also be repaired using Follicular Unit extraction.

Patients suffering trauma from car accidents, work related, and other types of scalp injuries can also benefit enormously by using the new follicular units extracted one-by-one and then implanted into the scars.  Unfortunately  the growth of grafts in scar tissue is not always one-hundred percent and the procedure may need to be repeated once more.
