Tucson Hair Transplants

Hair loss in men or women can often be treated with a minimally invasive hair transplant surgery, also known as surgical hair restoration. During the procedure, the hair transplant surgeon harvests hair follicles from the back of the head where hair density in higher and transplants what are known as grafts to parts of the scalp where hair density is thinner.

Surgical hair restoration can offer men and women a solution to their hair loss resulting from one of many reasons including the natural ageing process, genetic predisposition, hormone changes and balding due to certain medications.

Most commonly used to treat pattern baldness, hair transplant surgery can also be performed on patients suffering from hair loss related to burns, cosmetic surgery or as a result of trauma to the head.

Hair Restoration Options

Hair transplantation surgery is the recommended treatment for hair loss by many doctors, as this is viewed as a more permanent solution for those who are balding, however other hair loss treatment options are available. Over the counter topical solutions and prescription drugs can often slow or stop the progression of some forms of hair loss.

Hair Transplantation Surgery

Surgical hair restoration, another name for hair transplantation, has evolved in recent years. Large "hair grafts" or "hair plugs" used to be the norm, and often the surgeries resulted in patients with patchy tufts of hair surrounded by patched of baldness, and hair that or hair growing in odd angles. Today newer and more sophisticated forms of surgical hair restoration are available, allowing patients the option of having a full head of hair that looks and feels natural.
