There are a lot of people interested in a hair transplant procedure, and not all of them are remotely bald yet. The hair transplant procedure caters to people that already have lost hair on their head or elsewhere. However, technically, everyone can undergo it.

The requirement for a hair transplant procedure is simply to have healthy and thick enough donor hair for extracting, that’s it. 

So is it a must to go bald for a hair transplant? Absolutely no, but it’s performed to help out balding people the most.

In that sense, people that are not balding are technically perfect candidates for the procedure, but of course, they don’t need it. 

You Must Not Necessarily Go Bald for Hair Transplant

There is a case of the British television star Jamie Laing who, after accompanying one of his friends to get a hair transplant, liked the process. Jamie Laing decided to undergo one hair transplant himself, even though the doctors told him he did not need one. 

The hair on Jamie Laing’s head was not even remotely beginning to thin, yet he decided to carry on with the procedure. He even made his hair transplant public on television via Made in Chelsea, the series he was starring in at the time. This brought to prominence hair transplant to a wider audience. 

In addition to that, he also brought to attention the fact that you must not necessarily go bald for a hair transplant as well. These days, Jamie Laing sports many golden locks of hair. He would have a couple less if he did not get the then-unnecessary but fruitful procedure.

Jamie Laing is among the most successful cases that show someone must not necessarily go bad for a hair transplant. Some people simply would like to fix some minor defects on their mature, non-receding hairline or ensure thick hair for years to come. The only thing they really need is thick, healthy donor hair.

Hair Transplant Procedure

The follicular unit excision (FUE) hair transplant is the latest technique in hair transplantation. And also, it doesn’t leave noticeable scarring.

During the procedure, our surgeon will first shave the sides and the back of your scalp. Shaving the top of your hair might be necessary if you have got much hair that gets in the way of the grafting. This is the only actual way you must go bald for a hair transplant.

Once you are under anaesthetic, our surgeon proceeds to extract healthy hair follicles from the back of your scalp. After extracting enough, they proceed to graft those into the balding area through microincision. 

After grafting, the surgery ends. The patient then receives aftercare instructions to ensure the grafts take on to the receiving site.

Our surgeons perform high-quality hair transplants that give natural-looking results. They ensure the grafts follow your hair’s natural growth pattern, so they blend in seamlessly. Contact us if you want the best hair transplant procedures for you.
