Hair transplant is a surgical procedure. It involves relocating (transplanting) the baldness resistant hair follicles from the back of the head to the balding areas on the top and front of the head.

Hair transplant surgery has improved in leaps and bounds over the past decade. Single folllicle hair transplant surgery is now the accepted gold standard. Through the use of single follicle hair grafts along with new and improved instrumentation, the accomplished hair transplant surgeon can create a natural hair appearance that is appropriate for each individual patient.

Reconstructing a natural looking hairline is absolutely crucial to achieve a natural hair transplant. This requires surgical as well as artistic skill. It is critically important to get it right the first time and thus requires considerable forethought, planning and surgical expertise.

Reasons for Baldness:

For the vast majority of men (95 percent) who are loosing hair their hair loss is genetic. It has nothing to do with wearing tight caps, soaps, shampoos or combing too much or too little. Baldness is largely the result of a hormone “DHT” interacting over time with those hair follicles that are vulnerable to its effects. This hormone binds with the receptor sites of these vulnerable follicles and causes a thining of the hair shaft and follicle over time. This process of “miniaturization” gradually breaks down the follicles' ability to grow leading to permanent baldness.
