Hair is taken
from the donor site( at the back of the scalp) and meticulously
distributed over the bald thinning areas of the scalp. The newly
transferred hairs quickly take root, and after a short resting
period, grow and continue growing for the rest of the patient's
life.
Transplantation is recognised as the safest most
effectively proven technique for restoring hair permanently. The
procedure is carried out under a local anesthetic, usually with
the addition of a sedative prior to beginning surgery.
The
patient will be in the clinic for four hours. Approximately two
hours of this time is spent relaxing after the
procedure.
