Healthy, shiny and strong hair has always been important for men. Strong hair is often considered to be the symbol of health and attractiveness. That is why it can be a huge shock for the person if hair loss and balding occur. Hair loss can cause the loss of self-confidence on the long run, which has a serious effect on the patients’ personality. However, fortunately, thanks to the improvements of modern technology, there is a solution for those who suffer from hair loss, and this solution is called hair transplant surgery. Many pieces of misinformation can be found on the internet about the procedure. In the following, some of the most common myths are going to be discussed with the aim of revealing the truth so that the patients can get an overview of hair transplantation.
1. Only millionaires and wealthy people can afford hair transplantation
It is true that hair transplantation can be expensive but considering its effectiveness and self-esteem boosting features, the price is not high to pay. Also, there are a number of hair restoration clinics around the world so the patient can choose whatever option he likes. Interestingly, more and more people choose to travel to another country to have their hair follicles restored, which is often more cost-effective than have it done in their home country. Many patients arrive to our clinic from the UK and France and we provide high quality services for a reasonable price that is approximately 50 % lower than in the home countries.
2. Hair transplant is painful and leaves scars
Another common misconception about hair transplant is that the surgery is painful and visible scars will remain on the operated area. This is not true. The surgical process itself happens under local anaesthesia, consequently during hair transplantation the patients do not feel pain and after the procedure, the specialist will subscribe the necessary painkillers to ease the pain that may occur during the healing process, so the patients can rest assured that pain will not cause discomfort. Also, thanks to the technique that we use, namely FUE Safe System, the scars where the grafting happens on the donor area are so tiny that they are not visible for the naked eye.
3. Restored hair looks unnatural
Many people think that the result of hair transplantation is unnatural looking hair but this is not true. At our clinic, we thoroughly examine the patient’s hair and donor area before the surgery to see the original growth line of hair and we place the harvested hair accordingly.
4. The younger the patient the better
It is important to know that in case of hair restoration, the success rates are higher if the patient is older. The reason for this is quite understandable. It is true that younger patients’ body often heals faster but when it comes to balding, it is almost impossible to determine the extensiveness of hair loss especially if it occurs at a very early age.
Hair transplantation is a process with the help of which the patient can regain not only his lost hair but his confidence as well. But in order to decide, which treatment option is the most suitable, the patient has to visit a well-equipped hair restoration clinic and ask for professional help. At our clinic, we always strive to provide quality service and achieve patient satisfaction.
