If you are raring to undergo a hair transplant procedure to solve your receding hairline but some misconceptions are keeping you from doing it, fear not because the modern method of doing hair transplant is safe and can give you the best results.
Understandably, there are a lot of misconceptions about hair implantation until now. Those who have seen how hair transplants look during the 80s and 90s surely do not have the best impressions of hair transplants. Back then, hair transplants were done through the plug procedure, where a plug of several hair follicles are removed from a donor site of the scalp and transferred to the site where the hair is vanishing.
While the plug procedure fills in the absence of hair in an area, the result looks fake because of the gaps created between plugs. The donor sites where the plugs were taken are obviously barren while the hairline seems unnatural.
But things are not the same as now. You can be assured of natural-looking hair because the plug procedure is not already used. Most hair transplant procedures now use Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). They are both safe, and they will give the natural-looking hair that you have wished for.
Here are some of the things that you should consider when looking for a clinic to undergo your hair transplantation procedure.
Procedure Is Done by Doctors
While hair transplantation may be considered a cosmetic procedure, it should be performed by a licensed medical doctor. A cosmetologist lacks knowledge and training to assure you of a safe method. And don’t be swayed with clinics where robots to do the procedure.
High Survival Rate of Transplanted Hair
It’s also a misconception that all transplanted hair will grow naturally. There may be some that will not survive. In case that many transplanted hair follicles do not succeed, you may not have a natural-looking hairline or will still have diffuse hair in some areas. Always look for a clinic that can assure you of a high survival rate of transplanted hair.
Procedure Is Painless With No Scars
Hair transplant back in the 90s is feared because it was not pain-free and the scars where hair follicles were obvious with scars. Today, you can always find the most advanced hair transplant clinics to assure you of a painless with no obvious signs of imperfections.
