What makes a good candidate for hair transplantation?
If you have been struggling with extensive hair loss for some time and continue to lose hair, it might be time to think about the benefits of hair transplants.
People with hair follicles in good health can have a transplant because their hair will remain healthy post-operation. Men who suffer from baldness often choose to have a transplant. In fact, over 50% of men older than 50 suffer from androgenic alopecia, or baldness.
What are hair grafts?
Hair grafts are very small pieces of scalp, each containing one or two hairs. They are harvested from a healthy part of the head (usually the back of the head) and then transplanted to a bald area of the scalp. Hair grafts are also called hair plugs.
