home > youthful look > hair transplantation Home Grown Almost a third of all men and a quarter of all women in the United States experience significant hair loss during their lives. Male pattern baldness is a common permanent condition. Men who inherit this condition can have extensive hair loss from the front, top and/or crown of the head. Women usually do not become bald, but can experience substantial thinning of their hair. Hair Transplantation has developed as an effective, permanent and natural-looking solution for male pattern baldness. The basic idea behind Hair Transplantation is the relocation of hair follicles from one part of the head to another. In recent years, techniques have become more refined, so that new hair growth from grafts can follow the natural direction of hair growth, and look less like intermittent clumps of hair. The procedure is done in one of our outpatient centers. It lasts about an hour, although depending upon the degree of hair loss, more than one procedure may be required to achieve optimal results. A local anesthetic is used to numb the scalp during the procedure. Most patients can shampoo their hair and return to work in three to five days. The newly transplanted hair begins growing four to six months after the procedure, and should last a lifetime. Hair Transplantation was used to replace the hair lost from the front of this patient's head due to inherited male pattern baldness.
