When you’re experiencing a hit to your self-confidence because of hair loss, a hair transplant can seem like the dream solution. You literally grow your own hair! However, there are instances when getting a hair transplant might not be the best choice for you. Here are several reasons not to get a hair transplant.
These days there is a range of different surgical and non-surgical procedures offered for hair restoration. Today we're going to look at how surgical hair transplant works, particularly the FUE hair transplantation technique.
When hair is transferred from one area of the scalp to another via an FUE hair transplant, hair shedding does occur. But it is not a concern, rather it is a normal part of the hair transplant process. Let’s look at the natural growth stages of hair then what happens after a hair transplant.
Pattern hair loss is caused by genetics. According to popular myth, it is passed down by the mother. The theory is if your grandfather on your mother's side is bald, so will you be - but this is false.
A cheap hair transplant can sound very appealing - especially if it comes with an overseas trip. Local clinics may also offer apparently inexpensive hair restoration. But before you make the leap, let's look at what makes this rumoured cheap option so cheap.
Many have joked about getting their chest hair transplanted to their scalp, but did you know it's an established procedure? During a hair transplant, donor hair is extracted from the back of the head. This is where healthy hair that has been largely unaffected by the genetic hair loss process lives and thrive. The hair can be extracted by FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT strip surgery in varying numbers. The big question is, what if you don't have enough donor hair on the back of the head to transfer?

When looking into getting a hair transplant, an important question is where to get your transplant done. Low prices overseas tempt many patients. Indeed, a whole industry has sprung up to meet this demand, known as hair transplant tourism. But when it comes to medical surgery, choosing the cheapest deal is not the best choice.
We hear it plenty of times: any surgery carries risks. As patients, we can feel unconcerned about that, can’t we? After all, we live in Australia where the standards of care are some of the best in the world.

Hair loss can be a very distressing experience for men. Even more so if you are young, with a stunning 25% of men experiencing hair loss before the age of 30. Fortunately, there are new ways in which you can repair the damage of hair loss and gain an amazing head of hair. The best method of restoring your hair to its former glory is an FUE hair transplant. An FUE (follicular unit extraction) hair transplant is a minimally invasive operation in which hair follicles are separately extracted from the back of the head (the donor area) and placed into the thinning area (recipient area). Here are five reasons why you should choose an FUE hair transplant.
Please note: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks.
