Hair Transplant – The Facts, Steps, And Surgical Process

Facts About Hair Loss

Hair Transplant

A hair transplant is more than just a procedure. It can give men and women confidence, make them look and feel younger, and drastically improve self-esteem. However, knowing the facts, steps, and surgical process involved is an important part of moving closer toward making the life-changing decision to undergo hair replacement surgery in Toronto.

Hair loss is incredibly common. It occurs in 70% of men and 50% of women at some point in their lifetime and for various reasons. Fortunately, in addition to treatments to slow and sometimes even halt hair loss, there are solutions that can restore lost hair and make an individual feel themselves again.

Hair Loss Factors

There are many factors that can contribute to hair loss. They range from genetics to age, hormones, nutrition, medications, and illness. Most people lose 50 to 100 hairs per day. These hairs do grow back, but when hair loss is experienced rapidly and without regeneration or it becomes permanent and causes hair follicles to weaken and thin, a hair transplant can be considered.

The Surgical Process

For Hair Transplants

Currently on the market, there are countless pills, shampoos, and sprays that claim to restore hair after it has been permanently lost. Some even offer limited effectiveness. But a hair transplant is the most reliable way to add density to thinning areas and regain a healthy head of hair.

FUE (follicular unit extraction) is one of the best and most highly sought after methods of hair transplantation. FUE involves removing follicles from a site where hair is growing healthily such as the back and sides of the head. This is most often referred to as the donor site. The follicles are inserted one at a time into the area where hair loss has occurred, and this fills the targeted area with hair that is permanent and natural and that continuously grows.

Steps Towards Booking A Hair Transplant

To be considered a candidate for a hair replacement surgery in Toronto, the patient should schedule a consultation with a qualified professional. During this consultation, their general health, among other things, will be evaluated. Some further considerations include the following:

– Adequate donor density needs to be evaluated. This ensures that there is enough hair available at the back and sides of the head for the FUE procedure.

– Age is also a factor. Many patients who are too young may be discouraged from receiving hair loss treatment in Toronto and will be advised to try Rogaine or Propecia first.

– The ideal candidate also has the right hair type and hair texture. This includes normal and thick, and straight or curly hair.

Hair Loss Pattern

FUE Method

Also during the patient’s consultation, their hair loss pattern will be determined to establish if the patient has the right characteristics to undergo a hair transplant procedure. Every patient case is different, and there is no way to know if a potential patient is a candidate until their needs are assessed professionally. Only then can the number of grafts that can be made available for a FUE procedure be confirmed. At this point, expectations and projected results for the individual patient may also be discussed. At our clinic, we offer hair restoration in Toronto by using the FUE method to restore hair for both men and women.
