Hair Transplant
According to a survey carried out by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, there were more than 600,000 hair transplant surgeries performed in 2016 alone. More people, instead of digging deep to find healthier solutions, are opting for hair transplant methods. However, hair transplants have a big price tag and other drawbacks so many people are looking for alternatives to deal with hair loss issues.
Hair transplant in Edmonton
Hair transplantation, whether by follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or follicular unit extraction (FUE) and its variants (robot, punch graft, etc. ), is a surgical treatment that has inherent risks and limits. Hair transplantation, being a surgical operation, does cause some stress to the scalp; requires a critical period of recuperation and healing that is important to achieving effective outcomes; and, as with other grafting procedures, not all hair grafts survive the harvesting and transplantation processes.

Use a laser that actually works. Don't waste your money on Groupons or places with lasers that won't give you results. Highly recommend.

Risk of infection
Hair transplants, in general, are a large number of small incisions. No matter how good or vigorous the graft harvest is, the amount of hair that can be transplanted can never match the amount of hair loss. For transplantation, around 1500-3000 grafts can be collected. With a full head of hair containing around 100,000 hairs throughout the early adolescent years and approximately half of that hair being lost when hair loss is first noticed, hair transplants will never be able to replace the complete amount of hair loss. Progression of hair loss also occurs following a transplant. The natural hair density ranges between 35 and 100 hairs per square centimeter, compounding hair transplant difficulties. However, a square centimeter of the scalp has enough blood flow to support no more than twenty transplanted hairs per square centimeter. In other words, hair transplantation is restricted by the total number of grafts extracted and the density of grafts implanted in a specific location during a single transplant session. No matter how experienced surgeons are, errors can still occur such as nerve damage at the target site. There are also chances – although minimal – of suffering from excessive bleeding and infections.

Hair Transplant FAQs
Is Hair Loss Common
Every person loses hair every day, but a different rate of between 50 to 150 individual hairs each day. Usually, the hair regrows. However, when the hair follicle is weakened, this regrowth does not occur. Throughout their lifetimes, all men undergo some degree of progressive hair loss as a result of natural aging and changes in the male hormone androgen. Females may also experience hair loss.
Who is a transplant candidate?
Your desire and drive for a more appealing hairline, as well as an increase in hair density, are critical factors in achieving success with hair loss treatment. During your initial visit, your surgeon will determine whether there are any conditions that may preclude you from benefiting from our hair replacement procedures. In general, our hair restoration treatments are not limited by age or gender. Patients in their seventies and eighties have had successful surgeries. Male pattern or female pattern baldness can also be effectively treated in individuals in their 30’s. Even younger individuals may qualify, but they should be monitored cautiously. Women with unique hair loss patterns may also be candidates. The ideal candidate should have healthy hair on the sides and back of the head, which will be used to harvest grafts. It is sometimes preferable to begin while you are not entirely bald, since this allows you to conceal the early phases of the restoration with existing hair. Individuals who fit the following criteria may be ideal candidates for hair transplantation: Individuals who exhibit well characterised male or female pattern baldness. Individuals who have had hair loss as a result of scars, scalp trauma, or aesthetic surgical operations. Individuals seeking to repair or enhance the thickness of their brows, moustaches, or beards. Individuals who have already had hair restoration surgery.
What is the purpose of micro blend grafting?

How is the operation carried out?
Hair restoration entails the surgical removal of a tiny section of hair-bearing scalp from the back and sides of your head. This donor location has hair that will continue to grow for the remainder of your life. The region from which the strip is removed is meticulously closed, resulting in a very tiny line concealed by the remaining hair. After harvesting a strip of hair-bearing scalp, our expert surgical team separates it microscopically for restoration in balding regions. These grafts may be processed into various sizes to accommodate your unique demands and scalp problems. The transplanted hairs grow in the same manner as natural hair and are nearly unnoticeable. To increase density beneath the hairline, larger follicular groups containing more hairs will be employed. Any discomfort experienced during the surgery can be avoided using local anesthetic and IV sedation. To finish the restoration, our team meticulously ensures that your freshly inserted hairs will grow in certain directions, resulting in a hairline that is practically indistinguishable from the one that nature may have provided you with and enhanced total hair density.
How long does therapy take?
Typically, many sessions at varying intervals are necessary. Most patients may acquire a complete, natural appearance with a few surgeries. Most successful micrograft and hair transplant candidates require one to two sessions, spaced several months apart. Each office process takes between three and four hours.
What occurs following surgery?
Most patients may return to work within 24 to 48 hours of their hair restoration procedure. A morning shampoo follows each operation. For five to seven days, vigorous physical activity should be avoided. Medication is used to alleviate any edoema that may arise. Crusting or tiny scabs may be observed for seven to ten days, along with some irritation at the treatment areas. Any numbness experienced at the donor or recipient locations often resolves within a few weeks to a few months. Follow-up appointments are arranged at four- to six-month intervals to monitor progress and evaluate results.
