Hair Replacement Surgery and Its Benefits

Hair replacement surgery, scientifically known as stereoscopic follicular unit hair transplantation or microscopic hair transplantation, has been around for only a few years, but has produced fantastic results and satisfied patients. 

This procedure is the only permanent solution to hair loss.  This form of hair transplantation is the only way to produce a natural, permanent, full head of hair.  The way it works is by replacing hair follicles that are no longer producing hair, with healthy hair follicles one by one.  This process can only be achieved with the use of a stereoscopic microscope.  The use of this microscope ensures the precise dissection of the follicular units, for a smooth replacement procedure. 

The hair transplant procedure is not a painful one.  The skin on the scalp is anesthetized; therefore it is entirely numb through the procedure.  The most discomfort of the whole procedure is the injection of the anesthetic into the scalp.  After the surgery, you will feel little discomfort.  There are a few instructions that need to be followed, such as limiting extreme physical activity for five days and waiting to shampoo for twenty four hours.  One week following the surgery, the stitches will be removed, leaving small scabs on the scalp that will disappear within a week.  The only other instructions are to be patient, and in three or four months, your new hair growth will begin.  New Jersey hair replacement surgeon Dr. Pistone is here to help make your procedure a resounding success.
