Is surgical hair restoration right for me?
While it is a common issue for both men and women, hair loss is still challenging to accept and deal with. The emotional burden it brings can be overwhelming. Fortunately, innovative techniques have helped create modern, effective solutions for every type of hair loss condition, offering a ray of hope and relief.
Surgical hair restoration is not just effective, but also one of the safest methods of addressing thinning hair and hair loss. This hair loss solution has gained popularity recently because it is efficient, painless, and most importantly, safe.
What is Surgical Hair Restoration?
Surgical hair restoration, commonly known as a hair transplant, is a procedure that involves transplanting hair from areas of the scalp with ample growth to areas experiencing thinning or baldness. Hair transplant procedures offer a permanent solution for thinning hair and hair loss that requires minimal follow-up and no added hair care routine.
Types of Surgical Hair Restoration Procedures
Hair loss has a variety of causes and contributing factors, and every person who experiences it has a unique journey with different wants and needs. At Mane Image, we customize our solutions to meet our client’s needs and are proud to offer several surgical hair restoration solutions.
Follicular Unit Extraction
Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, is a hair transplant technique where groups of hair follicles are surgically removed from the scalp and transplanted into thinning or balding areas. The transplanted hair follicles grow naturally, adding volume and fullness to your hair.
Follicular Unit Transplantation
Follicular Unit Transplantation, or FUT, is also called Follicular Unit Grafting or the Strip Method. During the procedure, you’re placed under local anesthesia, and a thin strip of skin is removed, typically from the back of the head. Your hair transplant team will then divide the strip into individual grafts and transplant them to thinning areas of the scalp.
Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™
Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™, or MUHG™, is an innovative surgical hair transplant solution developed and trademarked by our surgical partner, PAI Medical Group. Multi-Unit Hair Grafting™ is a well-known and respected hair transplant procedure that provides superior density and coverage compared to other hair transplant procedures.
Eyebrow Hair Transplants
While many people associate hair loss with the scalp, men and women can also experience eyebrow hair loss. Eyebrow hair transplants can help restore full, natural-looking eyebrows.
Who Are the Best Candidates for Surgical Hair Restoration?
Surgical hair restoration procedures require donor hair to be surgically harvested from one area of the scalp and transplanted to another area experiencing thinning or balding. So, the best candidates for a successful surgical hair restoration procedure are men and women who are experiencing thinning o r balding yet still have enough viable hair to use for the transplant.
Like all medical procedures, candidates should be in good enough health to undergo and recover, but surgical hair restoration is a good fit for most men and women experiencing male or female pattern baldness. Hair transplants can also benefit individuals with hair loss due to injury, such as scalp injuries or burns.
