There’s not much to worry about if you are experiencing hair loss. Remember, many people suffer from hair fall problems and a variety of therapies are available to reverse this phenomenon, including hair transplantation. Advancements in technology have made it possible to curtail hair loss while promoting the growth of natural, healthy hair.

Now, there are many myths about hair transplants, due to which some people may not consider the option. So, we are debunking the common myths about hair transplantation procedures, helping you make an informed decision about such hair regrowth treatments.

#Myth 1: Hair Transplant Surgeries are extremely painful

If you think that hair transplant procedures are painful, you are wrong. The patient is administered local anesthesia which has a numbing effect on the scalp. That’s why patients do not feel much pain during the transplantation procedure. Well, the treatment site could be painful for a few days after the surgery, although you can take painkillers to manage this discomfort.

#Myth 2: Only men can undergo Hair Transplantation

Both men and women face hair fall issues, but men may experience balding earlier than women. Even so, hair transplants can benefit both genders. Also, at Kosmoderma, our hair professionals have many years of expertise in hair transplant surgeries to help you restore your hair growth effectively. 

#Myth 3: Hair Transplant Procedures Render Immediate Results

Hair transplants do not give immediate results. Also, it is normal for the transplanted hair to fall out and regrow. The noticeable results of these hair regrowth therapies are seen one year after the procedure. Nevertheless, Kosmoderma’s hair transplants give excellent results, which makes the long wait well worth the time and effort.

#Myth 4: More hair loss therapies are not needed

That’s not true because hair transplants are only a part of the overall hair restoration plan. You may require Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment after your hair transplant to keep the hair follicles in their new location. PRP has shown positive results when it comes to restricting hair fall. Some people may also take medication such as Minoxidil after hair transplantation. Our hair experts at Kosmoderma can advise you on how to best protect your investment in hair transplant therapies.

#Myth 5: Hair Transplant Results are only Temporary

Not quite right again! Hair transplantation comes with the benefit of permanent results. The hair follicles are transplanted from areas where the likelihood of hair loss is less. After transplants, the hair follicles start growing normally, imparting a fuller hair look to improve your outer appearance.

#Myth 6: Hair Transplant Surgery Results Seem Fake

Technological developments have made it possible for the transplanted hair follicles to integrate seamlessly with your existing hair crop for natural-looking hair results. Kosmoderma’s hair specialists are proficient in implanting the extracted hair follicles from the donor areas to the bald patches to improve hair density.

#Myth 7: Only one Hair Transplantation session is enough

Hair transplants do not cure hair fall. While you can be assured the transplanted hair follicles are permanent, you may lose hair in new areas in the future. That’s why you may need medication and other therapies, including PRP treatments, to restrict hair loss.

#Myth 8: Outcomes are better when more grafts are transplanted

More is not always better when determining the number of hair follicles to be transplanted. Additionally, if more than the required number of hair follicles is implanted, the desired results will not be achieved. The goal of hair transplants is to make the transplanted hair look as natural as possible; it all depends on your facial features, hair loss pattern, desired density, and hair care goals.

#Myth 9: Opting for hair transplants during the early stages of hair loss is advisable

It helps to have a balanced approach when it comes to hair fall treatments. You rather not have a hair transplant early on when you do not know about your balding patterns because that could adversely affect your appearance. More so, do not delay so much that your hair fall reaches an advanced stage, leaving not many hair follicles to transplant. On average, most men opt for hair loss therapies when they are between 28 years and 55 years but much depends on the degree of hair loss. Overall, hair transplants are possible until you have adequate healthy hair follicles to transplant to cover the balding areas.

#Myth 10: All Hair Transplants are Similar

Hair transplant surgeries are personalized to match your hair growth needs. Remember, hair loss patterns and hairlines for different people vary. This makes it mandatory for hair transplants to be customized as per your extent of hair loss, hair loss, desired hair density, and hair type.
