Hair transplant is the most effective solution against hair loss and baldness. Many people prefer this method of having permanent and natural hair growth. The men of medicine have proven the superiority of a hair transplant operation compared to other temporary or unnatural remedies.
However, there are still a lot of myths out there about hair transplantation. The misconceptions can sometimes lead you to make wrong decisions. That is why we want to debunk the top myths you need to know about hair transplant operation.
You can use anyone’s hair for a hair transplant.
Hair transplantation requires your own natural hair to be transplanted into the area of the hair loss. You cannot just take the hair from someone else and transplant it into your own scalp. This is medically unsafe, and it is not possible.
Old people are not suitable for a hair transplant.
There is no age limit for a hair transplant operation. Anyone who is 18 years old can have a hair transplant operation. You do not need to be young to receive a hair transplant. If you do not have any medical conditions that could prevent you from having a hair transplant, you are suitable for the operation.
Hair transplant is painful.
The FUE hair transplant operation does not cause any pain or discomfort to the patient because the patient is under local anaesthesia during the whole process. He can read a book or watch a movie while the doctor is performing the operation.
Results of the hair transplant are unnatural-looking.
How your hair will look after a hair transplant is as natural as it did before you lost your hair, only fuller and healthier. The hair transplant does not involve anything synthetic, and the doctors meticulously plan how they will implant the harvested hair into the desired area. This makes it impossible for people to tell if someone had a hair transplant.
Only male patients can have a hair transplant.
This misconception is due to the fact that there are more men than women who suffer from hair loss. And this makes the hair transplant more in demand for the males. However, experts can perform the hair transplant operation to both men and women patients. And there would be no extra difficulties during the process. Therefore, both genders are equally suitable for hair transplants.
Hair transplant is an expensive operation.
Quite the contrary, the most affordable way to regain your hair is having a hair transplant. The other remedies do not work, and they need to be used constantly, which makes it cost much more than a hair transplant over time.
What you get after a hair transplant is temporary.
Actually, the results of a hair transplant are permanent. The hair that the doctors transplant into the desired area will not fall again after the hair transplant. This is because the hair in the donor area that they choose for this operation is much more durable and is resistant to hair loss.
Hair transplant requires meticulous aftercare.
You do not need to do anything special after a hair transplant operation. The only thing you need to do is to be careful in washing and shaving your hair while you are still in the recovery period. If you contact the doctors in our facility, they will tell you everything you need to know about the recovery process.
