Frequently Asked Questions

Can you detect a transplanted hair under very close examination?

Hairline Clinic :: FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions :: hair ...
No, with the technology used today you cannot detect the difference between a hair that has been transplanted next to an original hair even under fifty times magnification. The type of procedure used today is called Follicular Unit Grafting, and this is the latest technique used in hair transplantation. This technique achieves amazing results and it is the preferred technique over multi grafting or micro and mini grafting. No, transplanted hair will never recede or fall out.

Will I ever lose the transplanted hair?

International Laser Hair Transplant
The transplanted hair is permanent. They will continue to grow for the rest of your life. The transplanted hairs are taken from the back or side of the scalp. They have a different genetic makeup than the already lost hair and are genetically permanent. Once they have moved to the thinning or balding area they will continue to grow for the rest of your life.

When will my newly transplanted hair start to grow?

Common hair loss questions and answers.
Normally it takes between three to five months following surgery before the transplanted hair follicles begin to grow new hair. The transplanted hair grows in very thin initially and gradually grows thicker and fuller over time. After one year a patient’s transplanted hair will be fully mature and will continue to grow for a life time.

What is the largest number of hair grafts I can have transplanted at one time?

FAQ - AffordableHairTransplants.com, Page 2
The largest number of grafts the Hair Transplant Center can implant at one time may vary between 2,500 and 3,000. Larger mega sessions then this are rare since your doctor medical staff needs to allow adequate room in between each new hair graft for blood supply. In a subsequent hair transplant procedure, our doctor and staff can then implant new grafts in between the hair grafts from the first session to provide greater density and fullness.

How long does the transplanted hair last?

Hair Restoration, Hair Transplant FAQ, Hair Replacement
Since the hair used in hair restoration surgery comes from the donor area, which is not sensitive to the balding process, it will be permanent. This hair will retain its genetic characteristics even after relocation so for the vast majority of patients, virtually all transplanted hair lasts a lifetime. In some cases, a small percentage of transplanted hair may be lost as the patient ages.

Dr Gary L Perrault, Hair Restoration Specialist
In contrast to balding areas, follicles within the donor area (back and sides of head), are genetically superior and therefore resistant to the hair killing effects of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). Hair loss in this area is typically very minimal; i.e., a few percent over our lifetime. That's why in the vast majority of patients virtually all transplanted hair will last throughout their lifetime. In some cases, a small percentage of transplanted hair may be lost as a patient advances in age.

If I do lose more hair, will that affect my new transplanted hair?

International Laser Hair Transplant
The hair transplant procedure at I.L.H.T. has been designed anticipating your natural future hair loss. One of I.L.H.T.'s guiding principles is that the first surgery should never leave a patient in need of additional surgeries. In other words, if you never get another hair transplant procedure you should have the appearance of natural thinning hair due to future hair loss but still look great for life.

How long does it take for transplanted hair to grow?

Hair Transplant FAQ - NewImage.com
The hair transplants in the recipient area of the scalp generally shed within the first 2-3 weeks after the procedure. New hair begins to grow from the transplanted hair roots anywhere between 2 and 4 months later. The new hair then grows at the normal rate of about half an inch each month — making the overall change in appearance a gradual one. Yes. Hair replacement is not always an exact science. Improvements can be made throughout the hair transplantation process.

How much density can I get from transplanted hair?

New Page 1
With respect to the balding area, 50% density is the most you will be able to get, since transplanting more density is not practical, and may be waste of donor hair, which may be useful at a future time. And again there are many patients that do not have enough hair to cover all the bald areas. In these situations careful planning is even more important, e.g., giving more density in the frontal region than in the crown area.

Growth of the newly transplanted hair can take place right away or it can take up to a few months for growth to begin. It depends on a number of factors: 1. Whether the newly transplanted graft contains anagen hairs (growth phase), telegen hairs (resting phase), or catagen hairs (shedding phase). 2. How the follicles react to the change of location.

Genetically, a person with Male Pattern Baldness will lose the hair on the top and sides of the head, but the hair at the back of the head will remain. The majority of people with hair loss have this dense area at the back of their head that is genetically protected from Male Pattern Baldness. By taking the follicles from this area at the back means that these follicles are protected, we ensure they will remain where they are placed forever.

So the hair is just transplanted from one side of the head to the other?

Not exactly. What’s important to realize is that we transplant the living follicle that still has the genetic charge that will continue to produce new hair indefinitely in its new location. The new location does not change this.

How long will the transplanted hair continue to grow?

Aesculapius Care Travel • Hair - FAQ
Typically male pattern baldness affects the frontal or vertex area of the scalp, while not affecting the sides and the back of the scalp. The hairs on the back of the head are genetically programmed to be life permanent. The transplanted hair comes from the hair on the back of the head, and will retain all of the characteristics as those hairs, including being practically life long lasting.

Can hair from other areas of the body be transplanted on the head?

Dr. James Harris - Hair Loss, Hair Transplants, Hair Replace...
It can, but this is usually only done when a patient has exhausted the scalp donor supply. The patient must be aware that body hair is not the same as the hair on the head. It usually grows at a different rate and has a different texture. Hair from other regions of the body will grow when placed on the head, but may have a slightly different characteristic than the existing scalp hair. Hair obtained from other areas of the body should be harvested by follicular unit extraction (FUE).

Once hair has been transplanted to my head, is there a limit to how long the hair can grow? Does it matter if the hair has been transplanted from the chest or the scalp? It is stated that "In fact, we???ve found that body hair that only grows an inch or two on the body often grows just as long as head hair after the transplant." Do you have proof of this?" Transplanted hair grows in exactly the same way in the recipient site as it did previously in the donor site.
