Hair Transplants & Restoration Basics

Scarring, numbness and infection can occur [with hair transplants].

If a man is sensitive about losing his hair, transplants may help him feel better about himself, or he can try to put a stop to hair loss with a non-surgical remedy like Propecia which is available by prescription. Either way, a hair transplant physician should assess him to ensure the best course of treatment.

How it's done
Hair is removed from the donor area, and isolated into single or two-haired grafts which are then planted close together to provide a more natural look for your guy. He may have a single treatment or choose to re-visit, depending on the amount of donor hair that he has left. Note: Propecia lowers the amount of the hormone involved in male pattern hair loss and the drug must be used long-term to provide benefits.

Recovery
7 days to 3 months.

Complications
Scarring, numbness and infection can occur.

Cost
$3,000 to $22,000.
