Investing in a hair transplant is no longer something people are embarrassed or ashamed of. Whether male pattern baldness is a problem in your family or you’re experiencing premature baldness, investing in yourself, and opting for a transplant can be a great option. Embracing baldness is great but it’s not for everyone and the technologies behind hair transplants are much more advanced than they used to be. If you’ve got the cash to invest, a hair transplant could seriously be worth the hype.
Do hair transplants really work?
Research suggests that hair transplants are way more successful than people might think. They are significantly more effective than over-the-counter hair restoration products and evidence shows 10-80% of transplanted hair will fully grow back within 3-4 months, so it’s worth a shot if you’ve got the cash available.
Hair transplants don’t work for everyone and will usually be the best choice if you are experiencing balding, thinning hair or have lost hair due to an injury. They are not as effective if you have lost all your hair or have thickened scalp scars due to injury.
How do hair transplants work?
Hair transplants take the hair you do have and transfer it to areas where there is no hair. For most people, this means taking it from the back of the head, but it can be taken from other parts of the body. There are two main methods of hair transplant: FUT and FUE, each procedure involves removing and transplanting areas of your scalp or individual follicles into areas where you have no hair. Once the scalp or follicles are transplanted, they need time to get to work and it may take some time for the hair to grow.
FUT or follicular unit transplantation is also described as the strip method, as surgeons will remove strips of scalp and hair and transplant them into the hairless areas. FUE or follicular unit extraction is less invasive but involves shaving the back of the head. Hairs are removed one by one using a grafting process and then transplanted into tiny cuts in the scalp which heal quickly.
Hair transplants can be very expensive, but it is a permanent solution to your hair loss and once your hair has regrown you can treat it as you would any hair at all, cutting, colouring, and styling as you wish. You can also book in for an appointment at your local Chaps & Co barbershop and we can make recommendations for a new style to suit your newly grown locks.
