How to Get Optimal Results From Your Hair Transplant

Getting a hair transplant is a big deal. You want to make sure that you are investing in something that is worthwhile, so getting the best results is always the most important thing.

Here, we’ve listed the best ways to ensure you get the best result from your hair transplant procedure:

  • Know your history – When you visit a hair rejuvenation clinic you will be asked a number of questions about the history of your hair loss and also your family’s history of hair loss. Make sure that you do your own research first and find out about your family history if you haven’t already. They will also ask you about your own hair loss or hair thinning in order to find a good donor site, so having a think about your hair loss history before arriving is a good idea.
  • Do your research– The most important first step when considering a hair transplant is to do your research. There are many clinics that offer hair replacement options, but some of them unfortunately are not as reputable as others. New technology means that the ways in which hair transplants are done has changed. Good quality institutes will offer you surgery that is much less invasive. Creating a shortlist of a few clinics in your area is a good idea. From there you can search their website, and make an appointment to find out more.
  • Find out who will be doing the surgery – You do not want a new surgeon to be testing their skills with your transplant. Make sure you confirm who will actually be performing your treatment to ensure you get the most skilled worker they have to create the look you want.
  • Ask to see results from other satisfied clients – A good clinic will be able to show you images or have listed on their website a number of photographs representing the work they do. It is these images that work as client testimonials so it is very important that you can view a number of these before proceeding.
  • Follow the instructions provided by your surgeon – There will be a number of instructions you will be given after your surgery. In order to get the best result, make sure that you follow these instructions. This could have a large impact on the result you get from your hair replacement. For instance, people may wash their hair too soon after the procedure or pick the scabs on their scalp. Most specialists will tell you to refrain from washing hair for at least 3 days and to refrain from scratching near the hair grafts.

You may also be given antibiotics to prevent the skin grafts from becoming infected. Make sure you take these as prescribed.
