Regrowth Hair Clinic

It is very important for that patient to have faith in the doctor they are consulting. This faith comes with a frank conversation with the doctor. The client must not hesitate in asking anything that comes to their mind as this will make it easier for the doctor to give the right advice to the client. Our hair transplant doctors will be more than happy to answer all kinds of queries to make sure our clients feel comfortable during consultations.

The very first and significant step that anyone who suffers hair loss must take is to see their regular doctor and check for any underlying causes that are contributing to the hair loss. Many times, medications, stress and treatable illnesses can cause hair thinning. So assuming that a hair transplant could be the only solution would not be accurate.
If the client is young in age, he or she must not rush into getting a hair transplant done as the hair loss pattern needs time to mature. The transplanting hair on a scalp where the final pattern is not established can result in an unnatural look as hair loss continues. Clients with unrealistic demands and expectations need to know and understand that the doctors cannot do anything beyond certain limits as there could be chances that the outcome may look plastic and unnatural. If all these aspects are clear to the clients they are good to go ahead with the hair transplant procedures.

A hair transplant is done by taking healthy hair follicles from the back or side of the patient’s head, beard or chest and is transplanted to the balding areas of the head. Transplanted hair is genetically resistant to baldness. If the transplant is done properly the new hair will last long.

The clients should be able to style their hair to their liking after a year. After a transplant surgery the hair grows slowly and by a year it is completely grown. The hair grows normally and can be styled freely with products that are used for styling, such as sprays, gels, and mousses. The hair can also be dyed to give it a new look. Blow drying can add volume and body to the hair. Proper styling and grooming of the hair after a hair transplant is very important as this will help the person’s personality to gain confidence.

Excess intake of alcohol can interfere with certain medications or lead to unwanted complications, such as bleeding, during or after a hair transplant. The doctors prefer that their clients avoid or may be completely stop drinking, smoking and consumption of certain herbs and medications they are generally used to, for a few weeks before the transplant surgery. Smoking should be avoided a couple of weeks prior to the surgery. Smoking cigarettes or any other kind of tobacco can also have a negative effect on the hair transplant.

A typical session of between 1,500 to 3,000 grafts normally involves 6 to 8 hours of surgery on an outpatient basis. Most patients will arrive in the morning and will have their procedure done by late afternoon.

Usually, within the first 3 months, the client can expect to see new hair growing. Between 6 months and 1 year, the client will see significant changes from before the hair transplant. The hair will be longer, thicker and denser in volume than before. While it may take a while for the hair to grow completely, the hair that is growing is permanent and will continue growing for a lifetime.

Since the hair follicles that are transplanted to the balding areas are taken from genetically resistant areas to going bald, they grow for the rest of the life.
