Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that removes hair follicles from one part of the body, called the donor site, to a bald or balding part of the body known as the recipient site. ForHair NYC Restoration Clinic – Dr. John Cole-Emsculpt in NYC 

The technique is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness. In this condition, grafts containing hair follicles that are genetically resistant to balding are transplanted to bald scalp. This process can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest hair, pubic hair and to fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery such as face-lifts and previous hair transplants. Hair transplantation differs from skin grafting in that grafts contain almost all of the epidermis and dermis surrounding the hair follicle, and many tiny grafts are transplanted rather than a single strip of skin.

Hair transplantation is usually carried out under local anesthesia. Sedation is sometimes used if the area is extensive. A surgeon will move healthy hair from the back and sides of your head to the top. This may be done with a microscope. Modern techniques allow surgeons to transplant large numbers of follicles at one time. This can result in fuller coverage and a more natural appearance. Surgery usually takes four to eight hours and you may stay overnight in hospital. You’ll probably need to take a week off work for recovery. The area where the donor hair was taken from is usually stitched or closed with clips and will be covered with a dressing. offer affordable hair transplant services starting at $4000 per session.

After treatment it’s important to:
– keep the area clean
– avoid exposing it to sunlight or wind for at least two weeks
– avoid strenuous exercise for two weeks
It may take 10 days for the dressing or stitches to be removed. After that you must care for your scalp gently until it heals. You will probably have some swelling around your forehead and eyes for a week or two which should gradually improve as your body adjusts to its new source of hairs.

It can take up to three months before you see any regrowth and up to six months before you see significant regrowth. Most people will need two or three treatments spaced about four weeks apart to achieve good results. Results are usually permanent but may not be if: – you continue to lose hair due to ongoing natural effects of age, family history or other factors – See a doctor if you’re concerned about your rate of loss as they may offer other treatments such as medication People who have had radiation therapy as part of cancer treatment cannot have this type of surgery because it could cause more health problems. Doctors also recommend that you wait until chemotherapy is finished before having surgery as chemotherapy drugs can cause temporary thinning of the hairs all over your body (alopecia)..”
