Hair transplant is one of the best ways to get back your mane
full of hair, it’s a permanent procedure that can bring excellent results if
done from a reputed center. Whether you’re male or female, in your early 20’s
or late 50’s, hair loss is one of those things that can be troubling no matter
the age. The good part, however, is that hair transplant can be done for anyone
experiencing hair loss? Contrary to popular belief, the hair that grows on your
head post-transplant is your own natural hair, which can be treated just as
such. There are a couple of myths surrounding hair transplant doing the rounds
which couldn’t be more wrong, so if you’re in a dilemma about going for a hair transplant procedure, read on to
clear out your queries!
Myth 1 – The Hair from a
Hair Transplant Looks Unnatural and Fake
Fact: In a hair transplant procedure, your natural follicles that are
still capable of growing hair are transferred from a donor area to your scalp.
This means that the hair that will grow post the procedure is simply your own
hair, from another area. What this also means is that once hair grows, you can
cut it, style it, wash it, color it and do whatever you want, just like you
would to your natural hair!
Myth 2 – Hair Transplant
Is Only for Men
Fact: Hair transplant can be done for both men and women, because hair
loss can occur in both sexes, whether genetically or because of a condition.
The results, as explained above, are completely natural looking and shouldn’t
be a cause for concern.
Myth 3 – The Hair
Transplant Procedure is Very Painful and It Takes Long to Recover
Fact: Actually, the procedure itself is quite painless, and you’re
awake the whole time. There’s just a local anesthetic used, and patients can
actually read a book or watch TV while the procedure takes place. Not the kind
of surgery you imagined, isn’t it? The worst you’ll feel is a bit of a
needle-like prick, and you’ll be able to go back home the same day. In a couple
of days, the dressing comes off, and you won’t have any problem going on with
your daily life.
Myth 4 – You Have to Take
Extra Special Care of Your Transplanted Hair
Fact: This is another very popular and also very false statement that
seems to be doing the rounds. As we mentioned above, the hair that you get from
a transplant procedure is your own natural hair, just from another area. Once
the transplant scars have healed and hair starts growing, you can treat it just
as you would treat your natural hair. Yes, that also means that you can cut
them without worrying whether they’d grow back!
Myth 5 – Hair Transplant
and Hair Restoration Surgeries Are Expensive
Fact: While we do agree that hair transplant surgeries aren’t cheap,
they aren’t exorbitantly expensive either. You’re much better off paying for a
quality procedure which has great results instead of skimping on it and
regretting it later. After all, it’s something that will be with you for
decades to come. The cost of the surgery is decided after a thorough analysis
of the patient. It usually depends on the number of grafts required to be
transplanted, since surgeons charge per graft.
