We live in an age of technology and are witnessing some amazing advancements in every field including hair transplantation. It is quite true that we have never seen such a large number of options for people who want to treat their hair loss.
It is also correct to say that this industry has mainly turned out to be a kind of ‘buyers beware’ market, but there are two types of techniques that are the most valuable hair transplant procedures. To find out which one is best for you, read on and then consult an expert surgeon for more specific information.
Let’s discuss which is a better approach to grow hair – a hair transplant or other methods.
Hair transplant
This type of procedure involves collecting live hair follicles from the sides and back of the head (donor areas) and embedding them in areas of the scalp that have become hairless. Before this surgery is performed, you should visit a surgeon for advice. The surgeon will make another diagnosis to decide if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure or not.
Advantages

It is generally a one-time treatment.
-
No other treatment can produce the kind of results that transplants give.
-
These offer a permanent solution for baldness
-
Embedding procedures have improved over the years and the latest technique known as FUE (follicular unit extraction) mimics the way hair develops naturally.

Hair transplants, especially FUE, nowadays leave insignificant scars.

Healing time may be longer in some cases.

These do not address the cause of baldness and thinning can occur in rare cases.
