Hair Transplantation

Within a few weeks after the operation you may notice some hair loss from the new transplanted area. The transplanted hair will begin to grow again after the inital shedding phase and it will take up to 12-14 months for new hair follicles to grow back strong and healthy.

Hair loss can affect both men and women. While FUE hair transplant is more popular among men, it is also a method widely utilized for women experiencing male pattern hair loss.

Usually patients between the ages of 20 and 55 are considered as the most suitable candidates for a hair transplant surgery. At a younger age, hair loss and hair growth pattern can be irregular and hair loss may continue to worsen as you get older. As time goes by, you may have to undergo more procedures. As long as you are in good health there is no upper-age limit for hair transplantation.

In order for a hair transplant procedure to be successfully performed, individual follicular units are extracted from the patient’s donor area and are then transplanted into areas where the patient desires more hair. If someone else’s hair is implanted in your body, your body is likely to consider it as a foreign element and will naturally reject it. In addition, if the severity of hair loss is high and you are experiencing lack of adequate donor hair, then it is probable that a FUE hair transplant will not be the best option for you.
