What Surgical Hair Restoration Can Do For You

Back in the 70’ and early 80’s Hair Restoration Surgery used to mean clumpy patches of hair transplanted on the scalp in unnatural formations that people referred to as plugs because…well…they looked like plugs. The success rate, perhaps not surprisingly, was less than 50%.

Things have changed a lot since then. The field of Hair Restoration Surgery, where most of the huge technological hair advances have been made lately, is starting to eclipse prescription medications like Rogaine and Alopecia in popularity because of their reliability and permanence of results. Quite simply hair restoration surgery gives reason for the hair loss sufferer to have optimism.

The reason for this optimism is the size, or lack thereof, needed to produce a successful hair transplant. Where hair restoration procedures in the 70’s required more than 20 hairs to achieve any substantial results, techniques like Follicular Micro Grafting, with its use of no more than 2 or 3 healthy hair follicles, is able to efficiently transplant new follicles into an area of the scalp suffering from baldness. This small size allows the practitioner to manipulate the new hairs much easier and produce a natural, healthy look that is also functional.

In most cases Hair Restoration patients will need more than one procedure to complete the entire process; this allows the hair restoration surgeon to make any adjustments to the scalp. But most people find the results not only satisfying but permanent. A welcome change from current hair restoration medications and hair restoration surgeries of the past.
