learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.

Can a hair transplant cover scars? Hair transplants can effectively cover scars on the scalp with proper assessment.
How many sessions will I need for a hair transplant? Providers give different answers, and the number is decided at consultation: some clinics quote courses of 3 to 6 sessions, but that pattern belongs to non-surgical treatments rather than to surgery. Ask your surgeon how many procedures your own case would need and how far apart they would be.
What results can I expect from a hair transplant? Expect new hair growth in 3-4 months, with full results in 9-12 months.
