Posted on Tue, Dec 13, 2011 @ 11:35 AM
A hair transplant procedure is a great choice for many men and women who are suffering from thinning hair or a receding hair line. A hair transplant offers these people the opportunity to reclaim a youthful appearance while feeling more confident in their every day appearance. A hair transplant can sound intimidating if you don’t have the facts about the procedure upfront, so here are some things you should know if you are considering a hair transplant procedure.
Time
From the time it takes to do a hair transplant procedure until you see results will differ for patient to patient. Most people who are interested in a hair transplant procedure will first set up a consultation with a clinician to determine the best plan of action for the most anticipated results. We would then book the hair transplant procedure, which will take anywhere from 4 to 7 hours to complete. During this time the initial transplantation of hair will be made. Most patients are satisfied with the results after one procedure, but many others will return for a second or third in order to achieve the density they desire. The transplanted hair will begin to grow and may be able to be seen by the naked eye after about 3 months. After only 6 months 40%-60% of the hair will grow out, and may at this time reach a length of about 1 inch.
Cost
The cost of a hair transplant procedure is one of the most commonly asked questions by men and women who are interested in the procedure. Costs are typically determined by the number of grafts which must be transplanted. In turn, this means each patient will have widely differing overall costs. However, clinicians like Dr. DiStefano offer financing options to make the costs more manageable for patients.
Results
When a hair transplant procedure is expertly completed by an experienced and professional clinician, patients are very pleased with the results. Most clinicians, like Dr. DiStefano, will also have ample advice for post-procedure care to ensure your new hairs are well cared for and grow strong and healthy. He will be there to offer any advice and answer all questions your may have after your procedure has been completed. Something to keep in mind is that a hair transplant procedure is one of the most proven and successful choices when it comes to regaining a natural, healthy head of hair.
