Hair loss is a devastating condition that can cause a great deal of anxiety and self-consciousness. It can also lead to weight gain, depression and a lack of confidence. For many men and women, the best way to combat this is with a hair transplant Birmingham. At PAI Medical Group, we are pleased to offer advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technologies such as the NeoGraft system. This allows us to achieve the most natural-looking results for our clients, both men and women.
A hair transplant is a surgically minimally-invasive procedure where healthy hair follicles are moved from areas of the scalp that are resistant to hair loss (known as donor sites) to bald or thinning regions. These areas are usually the back or sides of the scalp, but can also be the top of the head. These follicles are then used to fill in the areas where hair is thinning or balding, creating a fuller and more natural appearance.
The traditional method of hair transplantation, known as follicular unit transplantation (FUT), involves surgically cutting a section of the scalp and suturing or stapling the wound. This strip of hair is then dissected into individual follicular units, with each containing one to four hairs. These follicles are then transplanted into the areas where they are needed.
Our team of expert surgeons and assistants are highly trained and experienced in performing a hair transplant Birmingham, utilising the latest technological innovations such as the DHI hair transplants Birmingham technique and the ARTAS robotic system. These techniques are able to reduce both the amount of hair that is lost during the harvesting process and the time it takes for the scalp to heal after the procedure.
We also use the NeoGraft system, a revolutionary hair transplant technology that eliminates the need for a scalpel incision and sutures, allowing patients to enjoy a more comfortable and streamlined recovery period. This technique enables us to perform more grafts in one session, which can significantly reduce the number of procedures and the overall cost of your hair transplant.
After your hair transplant Birmingham, you will be able to return home the same day. You will be provided with a comprehensive set of instructions regarding your scalp care and how to take it easy while you are recovering from the procedure. Most of our clients are able to resume their normal daily routines within three days.
During your initial consultation, we will discuss the most suitable treatment options for you, and the costs involved. This is an important stage in deciding whether you are ready for a hair transplant and will help to ensure that we are able to achieve the right outcome for you.
Once the procedure is completed, you may see tiny scars around the area where the hair follicles were extracted and implanted. These will gradually fade over a few months and should be easily hidden with a close-cropped hairstyle. You can expect to notice a significant improvement in the thickness and density of your hair, but it will take up to 12 months for you to fully appreciate the effect of the treatment.
