Hair Transplantation
Although a minimally invasive procedure, it is not as straightforward as it seems. It’s a fairly complicated process that requires experience and dedication to master. Hair Transplant today faces the risk of being commoditized due to the sudden explosion of Hair transplant clinics all over the world. As a prospective Hair Transplant candidate, it is imperative that you understand the procedure and the parameters that make a good Hair Transplant clinic before choosing one for yours. Here’s all that you need to know about Hair Transplant.
(We advise seeing a hair transplant doctor for more information).
What is Hair Transplant?
Hair Transplantation has taken the world of Hair Restoration by storm and is often seen being proudly endorsed by celebrities and sportspersons. It is a process where existing hair is transplanted from a donor site to a recipient site (The bald area). Think of it as transplanting a plant from one pot to another, the plant is the hair and the pot is your scalp.
What is FUE Hair Transplant?
It’s a breakthrough technology introduced by Medicament, France by the name of S.A.F.E.R (Suction Assisted Follicular Extraction and Re-implantation) Robot and known as Neo Graft in the western world. This patented robot adds a new dimension to the conventional manual hair transplant techniques by increasing efficiency and promising better results. It provides dramatic improvements to conventional graft harvesting techniques by providing controlled suction so that the hair root is undamaged. It also uses controlled pressure re-implantation as compared to manual direct hair transplantation.
Why is it important to get the surgery done by an experienced surgeon?
Hair Transplant, although a minimally invasive surgery with rare complications, can have adverse effects if proper hygiene is not maintained. Moreover, a badly done surgery can lead to graft wastage and may result in a scenario where reconstructive hair transplant is also not possible.
What about the variation in cost?
Many doctors who are looking to learn Hair Transplant want to practice it and thus offer Hair Transplantation at throwaway prices. Be careful of such clinics.
Why you should focus on transparency?
One of the major scams currently going on in the industry is the variation between grafts charged for and grafts actually implanted. Not many clinics have a transparent system in place and use this ambiguity to charge the client extra. For Eg. XYZ Clinic promises 2500 grafts but implants only 2000. Thus profiting from such unethical practices.
What factors to consider before choosing a Hair Transplant Clinic?
Hair Transplant is not as straightforward as some might want to make you believe. It is almost as much an art as it is a science. One must mimic nature to get the best results. The hairline and the direction of the implanted hair should imitate how natural hair grows otherwise the implanted hair will look unnatural. You must verify this by asking for client testimonials and before after pics with details such as the number of grafts that were implanted.
How to do a cost-benefit analysis for the Hair Transplant Clinic?
Although an experienced center initially looks expensive it offers a lot more value in terms of results. The right way to assess and compare the cost of Hair Transplant is as follows:
Account for Graft Wastage:
Inexperienced technicians destroy the follicle in the extraction process. These grafts are useless and will not grow. Add 15-20% graft wastage if you want to go ahead with inexperienced and cheap centers.
Graft Survival Rate:
The longer the grafts are kept outside the body, the less likely they are to survive and grow again. New and cheap centers save money by employing lesser people and making them multi-task. This leads to an increased gap between graft extraction and implantation. Add another 10-15% difference in the result. Always remember that what you are looking for are results and not just the surgery.
What is the EMI option? We have two EMI options.
EMI on Credit Card:
This option includes no down payment and a monthly EMI of 3, 6, 9 & 12 months. The negative of this scheme is that your card limit must exceed the surgery amount and will be blocked till the amount is cleared.
EMI with LankaBangla Finanse:
You do not need a credit card for this option. Only a down payment of 1/3rd of the total amount is required and the rest can be paid in 8 equal monthly installments.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from whole blood, centrifuged to remove red blood cells. It has a greater concentration of growth factors than whole blood and has been used to encourage a brisk healing response across several specialties, in particular Hair Regrowth and dermatology.
Mesotherapy for hair loss is used with great success in Europe and the United States. The treatment is virtually painless and safe when done professionally. There is no dressing or local Anesthesia required. After the treatment, you can just go back to work. Today we know that Mesotherapy is as effective or more effective than tablets in hair rejuvenation and restoration. Mesotherapy brings just the right materials to the exact place where it is needed (around the hair follicle) so that the hair follicle can grow and survive, the excess of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is neutralized and the blood circulation is stimulated.
The I Restore Laser Hair Growth System is FDA-cleared to treat hair loss for both men and women. Low-level laser therapy is a non-invasive, safe, and clinically proven way to stimulate hair follicles to grow thicker and fuller hair.
