Hair transplants are typically considered to be a long-lasting solution for hair loss. While the transplanted hair is intended to last indefinitely, it is essential to consider various factors that can affect its longevity, such as the natural ageing process, lifestyle choices, and genetic predisposition. At Atlantis Medical, we carefully assess these factors with each patient during consultations to ensure they are fully informed about any potential risks or limitations associated with the procedure.
A hair transplant is a beneficial option for individuals experiencing hair thinning or hair loss. It does not have any adverse effects on either the existing natural hair or the transplanted hair.
In many cases, hair transplant surgery helps prevent baldness rather than causing it. While some degree of hair thinning may still occur, complete baldness is rare. At our clinic, we provide detailed instructions on how to care for the transplanted hair to ensure its longevity and minimise the risk of future baldness.
Hair transplantation is usually recommended when non-surgical treatments have failed to produce desired results and hair loss is significantly impacting one's self-esteem and daily activities. The ideal timing for a hair transplant varies for each individual and is influenced by factors such as the extent and pattern of hair loss, overall health and personal objectives. It is advisable to consult with a reputable hair restoration specialist like Crown Clinic for personalised guidance and recommendations.
A hair transplant involves a surgical technique in which hair follicles are taken from a donor area, typically located at the back of the head, and implanted into areas experiencing hair loss or thinning. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and can be carried out using either the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) methods.
