Many of us suffer from hair loss and thought of undergoing a hair transplant. But, only a few of us have a proper understanding of the treatment. Many people believe what they hear about the treatment which makes it difficult for them to decide on whether to get it done or to avoid it.
Myth: Hairs are transplanted
Fact: During the procedure, the hair graft is transplanted which is taken from the back of the scalp. Graft holding single, double, or multiple hair strands are transplanted.
Myth: Someone else hair is used during the treatment
Fact: The major benefit of this treatment is that the surgeon uses the patient’s hair follicles during the surgery. During the procedure, the hair follicles are shifted from one part of the scalp to another. To get the best possible results you must have healthy hair.
Myth: The results look unnatural
Fact: This surgical procedure has gained popularity because of the results it provides. The hair follicles are transplanted with such precision that the hair grows like normal hair. The hair follicles are transplanted in the right angle and the surgeon’s experience is what makes a lot of difference in the final results. Moreover, you can style them the way you like.
Myth: Hair transplant surgery is painful
Fact: Hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia. It means the person can go home on the same day and start doing the daily activities. Just make sure to follow the tips and suggestions given by the surgeon.
Myth: Hair transplantation gives the result right away
Fact: The outcome of the hair restoration is noticeable within 3 to 4 months. This is because the hair grows in a hair growth cycle so you need to wait to see the desired results. To see the full regrowth of hair it takes around 9 to 12 months.
Myth: The transplanted hair will fall off
Fact: Many people think that the hair which falls off after the surgery will not grow. But, the truth is that the hair follicles will continue to grow at the same speed as the natural hair. The hair fall after the surgery is part of the entire process. You must understand the natural life cycle of the transplanted hair. The transplanted hair falls after 2 to 3 weeks after implantation. So, you need to wait for 9 to 12 months
Myth: Results are temporary
Fact: The hair follicles are taken from the part of the scalp that is not affected by DHT. It is the reason which results in hair fall. The hair which grows in the transplanted hair follicles will not fall out as long as it remains on the donor site.
