Hair transplant

If you have tried every other option to grow your hair and failed then hair transplant surgery might be your last and only option. Hair transplants are a solution for many people and can give you a natural and new head of hair. It is important to understand that a hair restorations surgery does not add hair to the head. The way that it works is that it will readjust hair that you already have. What this means is that the doctor will take hair from the back or the sides of your head and move it to the area that needs it, such as the front of the scalp. It is important you realize what this operation can do exactly so you do not have unrealistic expectations and become disappointed. While the surgery can give you excellent results it will not restore your hair to its same status as when you were in your teens.

The resting phase of hair growth is called the telogen phase. Telogen usually lasts for four months or less depending on the person. Doctors say that hair tends to grow at a pace of about a half of an inch per month. This is not very much and makes one realize why replacing lost hair can be so difficult. Not only does hair have a resting phase when it doesn’t grow of a few months but it also sheds quite a bit.

Hair loss is considered significant and true when hairs do not regrow or when one is losing over 125 hairs a day. Hair is supposed to shed so much each day but this is excessive. Once this happens the only thing you can do is to see your doctor to find out exactly why this is happening. From there your doctor can assess your individual needs and determine if you are a candidate for hair restoration surgery.
