Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) can be a serious problem for many men. Hair transplantation is one of the effective methods for treating AGA, and there are many success stories. In this article, we will introduce some successful cases of hair transplantation and explain in detail the process, effects, and post-surgery care.
What is hair transplantation?
Overview
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that transplants your own healthy hair into thinning areas. There are mainly two methods:
FUT method (Follicular Unit Transplantation): A method in which skin is cut into strips from the back of the head and transplanted into follicular units.
FUE method (Follicular Unit Extraction): A method in which hair follicles are harvested one by one from the back of the head and transplanted.
Merit
Natural finish: Since your own hair is used, you can expect a very natural finish.
Permanent solution: Transplanted hair usually continues to grow permanently.
Effective: The hair is transplanted directly to the thinning area, so it is effective immediately.
