HAIR TRANPLANT FORUM QUESTION #1 I’ve thought about getting a hair transplant, but I’ve heard they’re painful. Is this true? –Tom, Alexandria, VA.

Though you can expect to experience some redness and soreness after the procedure, as is quite common with any surgical procedure, but as for serious pain this is probably not the case. For the most part the painful side effects are extremely mild and usually dissipate after a day or two. (Of course if side effects do persist after this period it is vitally important to contact the medical office that performed your procedure.

HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUMS QUESTION #2 Are hair transplants permanent? I’ve thought of getting one, but I don’t’ want to spend all that money on something that won’t last. – Chuck Hoboken, NJ.

It’s a good question. You don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on a procedure that won’t end up giving you permanent results. And though it’s difficult to guarantee absolute permanent results there is no hair restoration procedure that gives you more permanence than a hair transplant.

Hair loss medications like Rogaine and Propecia only work so long as they are being consistently used. But a hair transplant is different. Though it may take an initial surgical procedure along with a few follow-ups, after this initial period the results are usually permanent and very satisfying. Modern hair transplants are very resistant to such environmental factors like wind and rain and many customers find that the only time they visit their hair restoration surgeon is to thank he/she for the great work they have done.
