Restoration
Male pattern baldness usually begins with a receding hairline
and thinning at the crown and continues to progress over
a lifetime. Female pattern baldness usually consists of thinning
across the top of the scalp with preservation of the frontal
hairline. Although the degree of baldness cannot be accurately
predicted, the age of onset and family history are important
factors.
The Micro-Hair Transplant technique provides the most natural-looking,
permanent solution for those who are bald or have thinning
hair.
Micro-Hair Transplant procedures are performed on an outpatient
basis, using local or twilight anesthesia.
Micro-Hair Transplantation is a progressive process requiring
hundreds of micro-grafts, implanted during separate treatment
sessions. Each micro-graft may contain from one to three
hairs. The micro-grafts are removed from a donor site located
on the side or back of the head. We then meticulously implant
them into the bald or thinning area and the new hair grafts
are placed randomly to grow in the same direction as the
existing hair.
After the surgery, a dressing is placed to keep the transplanted
area protected. Some itching and swelling can occur but is
generally mild.
The transplanted hair falls out in about two weeks and generally
begins to grow again in about three months. Once it has grown
in, the next session can be performed. The number of sessions
required to fill in a given area depends on the density,
which is desired.
