Common Myths About Hair Transplant

 

The presence of hair on the head plays a crucial role in an individual overall appearance. That is why most people want to go undergo Hair transplantation, one of the best hair restoration procedures performed at SB Aesthetics, best hair transplantation clinic in Gurgaon, India. But many of them would find Hair transplant as an intimidating procedure and lack the courage to get hair transplant done. The main reason behind it is the common myths associated with it.

Here are the common misconceptions about hair transplants debunked by the Best Hair specialist doctor in Gurgaon at SB Aesthetics for people who suffer from baldness or hair loss but are afraid to go through a surgical repair.

Myth 1: Hair is transplanted from a donor site to the recipient site.

Fact: The hair follicles are transferred from one place to another, not the hair strands. During the hair transplant, the hair graft comprising of one, two, or multiple hair strands is being transplanted.

Myth 2: Hair transplant provides unnatural results.

Fact: The surgeons carrying out a hair transplant, determine the location and the angle of hair and graft before these are placed on the bald areas. They hold expertise in placing each hair follicle and customize it according to the patient’s needs. This ensures natural-looking results.

Myth 3: Hair transplants are extremely painful.

Fact: The person undergoing a hair transplant cannot feel any pain throughout the procedure as he/she is provided with local anesthesia or numbing cream. Little discomfort from needle pricks is quite normal. But the best part is there is no need for clinic or hospital stay and the person can resume routine activities from the next day.

Myth 4: Women are not suitable candidates for hair transplants.

Fact: Hair transplant is not gender-biased. Like men, women can also undergo hair transplants and achieve permanent and natural-looking hair regrowth. The only difference between men and women is the pattern of hair loss or baldness. Moreover, the results may vary because women usually have thinner donor hair as compared to men.

Myth 5: I will get a new look immediately after a hair transplant.

Fact: A hair transplant cannot restore the hair growth of the person overnight. After 3-4 months, the outcome of the hair restoration procedure is visible. Individuals have to be patient as the new hair growth takes a longer time, sometimes stretching to 6-8 months.

Myth 6: The hair surgeons use the hair of another person during a hair transplant.

Fact: This isn’t true. The surgeon harvests the hair follicles from the patient’s scalp only and the healthy and thick hair follicles are grafted into the bald part of the head or area where hair repair is needed.

Myth 7: Hair transplant is not affordable.

Fact: A lot of financial investment is indeed needed while undergoing a hair transplant, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t affordable. Across the globe, hair surgeries have gained popularity with some advancements in the medical field and lowering of the costs of machines. The only thing which a person should focus on is that hair transplant is a one-time investment that can give lifetime results.

Myth 8: Hair transplant is unsuitable for older generations.

Fact: Hair transplant should be ideally conducted in the age group of 25-65, although anyone above 18 years of age can get it. But with old people, hair restoration can still work better because as the person ages, the surgeon can predict the hair fall pattern easily and can meticulously access the donor area to carry out the hair transplant process without any problems. The eligibility of candidates depends upon their overall well-being and the number of hair grafts.

Myth 9: People might need medications and special care after a hair transplant to assist with hair growth.

Fact: Post-surgery, there is no requirement of medication and maintenance to prompt hair regrowth. The hair regrows gradually after implanting the bald scalp with potent active hair follicles. The only thing that people shall ensure after a hair transplant is that the surgical site is kept clean and they are gentle with hair for the first few days.
