HAIR IMPLANT

Hair loss is a very common issue mainly in the male population. Ageing but also different factors like hormones variation may cause this hair loss. There are different procedures to correct the alopecia (hair loss), and micrografts placing is the most frequently used. These micrografts are taken from the scalp back part and transplanted in the bold zone.

 

When the hair follicle is transplanted it begins to grow hair again from forty five to ninety days after, this means that your hair starts to grow three months after the procedure and because of the fact that the hair grows one centimeter a month, in six month the hair have had to grow three or four centimeters.

 

This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and sedation. Its duration depends on the number of grafts to be placed, in general it takes between 2 and 4 hours.
