A hair transplant can be one of the most effective methods of improving the hair growth on a particular area of the scalp. This method of hair replacement has been carried out successfully since the early 1950´s.For more than 50 years hair transplantation has been the natural,permanent solution to restoring living, growing hair to balding and thinning areas.
However it is only in the past decade or so the surgical techniques of some physicians have made it possible to re-create the look of a man's original, natural hairline.Of all the male cosmetic procedures performed a hair transplant is the most popular and growing in popularity and of all cosmetic procedures for men, hair surgery has the potential to produce the most dramatic change in one's appearance.
However achieving the correct end result can be very traumatic for the patient.The new methods of micro grafting produce some wonderful and dramatic results.It would be almost impossible to detect a good transplant, provided a competent surgeon carried out the work.
Under a skilled surgeon, the nightmares that used to be associated with hair transplants have virtually gone, and by using smaller plug grafts with microsurgery, hair transplants offer a very realistic solution to a new head of hair.Hair transplantation is the medical process of relocating permanent hair from the lower back and sides of the head.
These hairs are transplanted into areas of thinning and balding along the top and towards the front of the head, where after a short resting period they grow and will continue to grow for a lifetime. The entire reason why hair transplants are permanent, and not just a temporary cosmetic procedure, lies in a simple physiological fact that every man has a horseshoe-shaped area of hair around the back and sides of the head.
Often referred to as the monk's fringe, this area contains hair, which is genetically programmed before birth to last a lifetime. That's why even the most severely bald men you ever see will still have this area of permanent, lifetime growing hair at the back of their head.
