Hair Transplant in Toronto: Which Method Suits You Best?
Hair loss is a widespread issue that affects countless men and women. Our Toronto Hair Transplant Clinic sees men and women as young as their 20s concerned over a widening part or receding temples. Your hair can begin to thin fairly early if androgenic alopecia (genetic pattern hair loss) runs in your bloodline. Hair transplants in Toronto are on the rise as more people realize the advanced technology available to them. This modern restoration solution may be a dream come true for you too. But which hair transplant method suits you best?
Some causes for hair fall-out aside from a hereditary predisposition include extreme physical or mental stress or an autoimmune disorder. There could be multiple temporary triggers for shedding, from medication to tight hairstyles. But even if your hair loss is permanent, there are numerous methods to halt, combat, or reverse the look of thinning hair. Do you know what your options are?
A general Internet search for “hair transplant in Toronto” will give you the most common transplant techniques. However, you may not have realized that there’s more than one transplant method, and you’ll need more personalized help than the Internet can give to make your plan. If you’re feeling unsure about the available options to restore hair, what they all involve, and which one will suit you best, we’re pleased to offer a brief guide about the top methods of hair transplant in Toronto.
Hair transplants in Toronto: How many methods are there?
Currently, two primary hair transplant techniques provide the best results for hair renewal. Both methods use the same basic concept to redistribute and implant hair, but the harvesting process, costs, and recovery will vary. The basic principle, no matter which equipment or hair transplant surgeon you have, will be removing healthy hair follicles from a dense scalp area and redistributing them to thinner areas, where roots are implanted just under the surface. The site the follicles are removed from is known as the donor site, and because it’s usually at the back and sides of the head, the hairs there are naturally more resistant to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone that causes genetic pattern baldness. Your surgeon can transplant these healthy follicles into a balding area, which is known as the recipient site. Very thin micro slits are made in the recipient zone to implant those hairs, but the real technique difference lies in the harvesting.
The first and older of the two popular Toronto hair transplant methods is known as FUT, or follicular unit transplantation. It’s also called “strip harvesting”, and we’re going to explain why.
